Hope he proves that 4 star rating .
>Garavaglia spent last season as a reserve for Ratiopham Ulm in the top division of German basketball. He averaged 2.7 points and 1.7 rebounds per game in 33 appearances. He performed well at the Under-18 European Championships last summer averaging 14.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game while shooting 42.1% from three-point range. He played 29 minutes in seven appearances.<
The Scarlet Knights made one of its final additions to the roster.
but in any case

We get him and flip a PSU 4star RB in the same day. Both men’s and women’s bb looking up this year. Looking forward to Football then BB this year. RU fans deserve some good news.
Hope he proves that 4 star rating .

Seems like a good pick up - but I wonder why the article refers to him as a “big man”? Seems like he’s probably a 3 at 6-6 - right?
I read an article saying he's 6'7, the added inch still doesn't qualify him as a big man , unless he's a small power forward , being classified as a PF is considered a big man position no matter what the size of the player manning it is.
A google search found this :
>International & FIBA Play: He is frequently listed and utilized as a power forward (or "stretch four") due to his physical 6-foot-7 size, toughness, and rebounding abilities<
Watching him play, seems like a 3 to me. Plays defense so I love the pick up. This addition alone all but guarantees well be better at D 1-4. Not sure about the D at the 5 spot though. Hope we’re adding one more piece even if it’s a PF who could play stretches with Sydnor without a true center.
Don't see how this kid is not a starter by the fifth game of the season, especially if his defense is as advertised. What a stroke, and he's light years ahead of last year's Euros. I think we now win 18+ games. Welcome back RU.
