This kid could be the missing piece, a shot blocking big body in the post. His tape is not of a kid who is a missing piece. Seems very developmental, maybe contribute by junior year. I just want them to sign as many talented players as possible. If we have to be short and fast, fine.

Old Fox thinks we don't need Kalu because " Makeny is already on the roster ". Makeny is a D-2 SF who got 0 minutes until Vic got hurt and Jones was in foul trouble, Dunne was out of options. He was over his head in the post and with the make-up of the roster this year I'm surprised he didn't move on to a D-2 program.

Makeny is a project or worse, which was my point in mentioning him and Kalu looks like a project too. Should Marist really be offering a â21 post player described as a âD2 stealâ with no D1 offers when the front court projects to be crisis beginning in â22? Especially with the transfer market at all time highs and easy transfer rules. Love their recruiting at the 1, 2, and 3. Whatâs happened to Maristâs ability to attract competitive 4 year post players? Itâs really disappointing.

Whatâs happened to Maristâs ability to attract competitive 4 year post players? Itâs really disappointing. High major programs hoard the good 4's and 5's and there is a lot less of them to go around. Whats left for us is projects. The program is better but not in a place to get a low post stud to want to be here. Or we can wait for the 4/5's that are not happy with their playing time to transfer in. Either way we're still swimming up stream. What's missing? - The program still smells like bad fish... although headed in the right direction
- McCann impresses no one
- The team is outdrawn by the ladies

With the transfer market being so lucrative, we can try these projects and if they don't work, then get a big in the portal since they probably wont need to sit at this point

I don't think Makeny played badly at all as a small ball 5. The end of a MAAC bench, except at maybe Iona, are players who would be D2 studs or ride the bench at a D1 program. Jones, Enoh, Belton, Makeny, and maybe that walk on big man isn't horrible depth.
If Jones goes down with an injury the season is in jeopardy whether it's Makeny as your #4 big, or a late 2021 signing who has no D1 offers.
I wish Tordoff would've stayed for depth, and use his last year of eligibility. Ultimately though we have 5 players who may or may not want their 5th playing year when this season is over and scholarship space will be limited. Two 2021 posts aren't ideal in my opinion.
Marist should be a top landing spot for a portal transfer next year as the starting 5 spot should be wide open.

At least it's confirmed he is a class of 2021 big now. Also, this would be the 2nd player in a row counting Ituka(who signed) that was a late recruit from Maryland. I always like having some known recruiting grounds. I wonder who is the connection down there for us. And finally, I'm glad to see we are using that extra scholarship it appears, I was fearful we'd let that go.

Driscoll was an assistant Loyola MD in Baltimore and seems to be the lead on Kalu, so probably him.

It's definitely a weird recruiting cycle but I'm surprised a HS kid that is getting late interest like Kalu hasn't jumped on an offer. With the amount of transfers still on the market your opportunities could disappear quickly. I thought the two visits he took would result in a commit somewhere.
