Never said all american but his numbers are impressive on paper and yes a notch above the others coming in including one who has missed a year. Sun Belt is also a step above Maac in ability and competition. and This is the type of get late that surprises me for Pikes and "could" lead me to have some optimism for this season

Anything to upgrade the talent over players like Davis and Powers and Pike is doing that

I agree with you, it was kept pretty quiet. The best part about it now, is that for the most part we have options across the floor, although still think Syndor the only actual 4, don't love Buchannon there, but it is what it is.

Looks good but all stats should be nullified in games played on that court.

Regarding the missed year - I know there isn’t much info about it known, but we think it was treated like a regular redshirt, correct? If so, that would mean Sydnor practiced and trained with Manhattan all last season. Not necessarily a big negative. I really like his rebounding numbers. Also at 6-8, if he put on some muscle since frosh season, might give us a stretch 5 option in certain situations.
