I suppose that is possible but doubt it. Lawal is like a number of players who have left our program prematurely. He is loaded with potential BUT is not (in my opinion) an actual basketball player. He is a tremendous athlete with a very high ceiling (excuse the pun). Does he know how to block out without fouling, does he know how to cover a forward or center with a good drop step, does he know how to fake both ways and use both hands. I could go on. Admittedly he knows how to block shots and dunk ally opps. Yet if he follows the pattern of other really good athletes like himself he may be sitting somewhere and playing under ten minutes while making some nice NIL money. Did Hassan learn how to be an NBA player by transferring? Did JJ? With some exceptions moving from VCU has not really panned out for most of our bigs. I loved watching Lawal develop as the year moved on. I hope he gets what he wants (which I really believe was more playing time and not coming off the bench). But I will be surprised if that is what happens. Sad day for the fans of RAM basketball.
