I will say that if he has good hands as a TE, that is a plus for his potential on the hardwood. His coach says he likes football but loves basketball. Bring the right attitude, work hard, and let's see what happens. I hope he has a good FT stroke and some range. All of the highlights I saw are of him backing guys down and making moves to the rim. I don't know if he can do that consistently in the B1G.

Dude already has an “Izzo-ready” physique and can finish around the rim with both hands. Agee has only one year of eligibility so this makes sense by filling an immediate need from a defensive standpoint.

I think we don’t see ourselves getting a guy like Aire, so we went for him. Has some solid skills(rebounding, mobility for size, post scoring) and I’m sure Pike will make him good. Interesting that now he will be focusing on football. Still, would like to see us land some higher profile recruits.

He loves Basketball 🏀. He will do whatever it takes to get better. Low post game is very important in the BIG.

Welcome Antwone! Sounds like "And-One".

In Pike we Trust. Go RU!

Redshirt and a potential transfer big again next season seems like a likely scenario

Why? Amazing we still don’t trust Pike. You all need to remind yourself what he took over. He knows what he’s doing. Read the article w/ his AAU coach.
That's all the proof I need that he's a good player. AAU coaches are famously honest about their players, after all. They would NEVER pump up their players to be better than they actually are.

90%+ of big men coming in to college basketball are "projects". Myles was a project. So is Rieber. Cliff too (even though Cliff ranked as a top 60 prospect in the country).

Coach P, thus far, has shown an ability to develop the bigs he brings on campus. It started with Gettys. Then Myles. And now we are hearing really good things about Cliff. It would not surprise me if Woolfolk became a (more than) solid B1G post player. In the limited video I've watched his footwork in the post is very good. Nice place to start.

Welcome Antoine.

It's reasonable to wonder why a player who goes against some of the top prep talent in Ohio and went against guys like Jalen Duren at Peach Jam hasn't garnered more offers. It's not like we found him in some back gym like we did with Myles Johnson. Plenty of coaching staffs around the country have seen him play but he only has offers from us, Cleveland State, and Cal Bakersfield?

It's also reasonable to give Pikiell and the staff some benefit of the doubt.

Many programs don't spend time recruiting a player who may play another sport in college. Pikiell and Co. thought it was worth the effort and it paid off.
