If he was that good he would have played last year.

I hope so!

He’s still 5’6’’ and has no chance to guard 95% of SEC guards.

Dude proclaims Brown’s greatness and then proceeds to show highlights from middle school. Weird.

Just finished the first meeting with my team. I am glad, just as you are, to have Billy back on campus! This is a great group of guys who will play for one another (because thats who they are), ultra competitive, with a will to win. If we are not a great defensive team I haven’t done my job! We are physical, should be a great shot blocking team (at all 5 positions) and we have dogs! LETS GOOO

Well, if that's the case. Kenny Payne is gonna have to actually work or it's all for not. Worst post defense I've seen in quite some time last year. I'm talking TRASH. His record at Louisville was flat out embarrassing.

Also, the guards have to play SOUND defense. Not just erratic defense we saw last year.

FUNDAMENTALS are what separates good teams from GREAT teams.

6'11", 225-pound Ilia Frolov is in the process of committing to play college basketball next year. He has been contacted by Penn State, NC State, Arkansas and many others.

I watched him live last year at Adidas EuroCamp and this past season on film with Real Madrid U22. League statistics: 23.3 MPG, 13.5 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 1.0 APG, 2.0 TOV, 1.1 STL, and 0.5 BLK.

Strengths:
- 3-point shooting: 36% (22/61)
- Free throws: 84.6% (a strong indicator for his future jumper)
- Finishes well at the rim
- Solid footwork and touch, both facing up and playing with his back to the basket
- Can make plays out of the post
- Excellent per minute rebounder
- Strong screen-setter who can pop out, short roll, or rim roll; also a trail 3-point threat.

He ranks among Europe’s top 2008-born players, known for his coachability and strong work ethic. With a strength and conditioning program, he has a promising future ahead.
