This is the guy that I want to fulfill our BigMANZ needs, for the reasons mentioned in that other thread.

Here’s a clip of Lewis against an NAIA school. Doesn’t display much. I imagine if he’s brought in there’s quite a development curve.

Hey, he can catch the ball, pass and dunk. Other skills can be developed because with no NIL bidding wars, he can stay for multiple years, perhaps even graduate from OHIO.

For sure. I just have no idea how London ball compares to US HS/lower level college ball.

It's worth a swing, but we still need someone to man the paint as soon as next season.

We're already full for next year, so offering a 2025 this late in the process is quite interesting.

1. Elliott
2. Brown
3. James
4. Hadaway
5. Paveletzke
6. Sheldon
7. Burris
8. Evans
9. Kuany
10. Nicol
11. Mosley
12. Fisher
13. Kelly

Makes me think the staff has roster moves in mind already.

This is a project, methinks.

Definitely see a jump in skill and competition from year to year here, but still work to be done.

Rivaling KVK with that hairstyle, though. I love it.

I think we all agree Nicol is probably on his way out. Who follows is the question. Lewis is probably a few years away (if we do land him) and we can't possibly be going into next season with Hadaway, Evans, Kuany, and Mosley as our only players 6'7 and above.
