There is an interesting piece about him on Youtube. He seems like a nice, grounded kid with a sense of humor about the issues being that tall brings.

Rioux was on the IMG Academy Blue team. Edey was a reserve on the IMG Academy National team.

Did Rioux reclass? Everything I have on him says 2024 but I don't follow him closely.

He screams Marfan Syndrome. He will get more offers just because of his size. But some may shy away due to the potential, medical implications of Marfans.

Seems to be conflicting info out there, not sure

He looks a little awkward and stiff in those clips.

If RU is moving to a faster pace offense, can he get up and down the floor quickly?

His offer list will likely be a function of his free throw percentage. If he can make free throws, power 5 schools will want him. If he can't, he's destined for a mid-major.

In his Junior FIBA games for Canada the last 3 years, he shot 2-6 (33.3%) from the foul line in 2021, 3-5 (60% ) in 2022, and 4-13 (30.8%) in 2023. Not a very big sample size and it doesn't include his IMG stats, but from these stats his free throw shooting seems a little iffy.... Overall it looks like he has some catching up on his coordination to do after growing so much..

Sometimes it's like that with Canadians. Because of a difference in the school system there and here, Canadians can almost always reclass "up."
