Welcome to VCU Luke Bamgboye

The improvement is already happening, look at the way he's helping the defense (! this has been so noticeable), boxing out, rebounding, and helping in the paint. He's learning, and when he does something wrong it seems like he's listening and taking responsibility when he's at fault.
 
People always love the backup. Bamgmoye is a solid freshman big, especially for our program type.
He has a lot of work to do before he will be able to be relied upon.

He has grown each game, and will be solid plus next year. He will be more dynamic than Fermin, but not sure he will be better overall than Fermin over the next two years. He certainly, has more offensive upside.

He's definitely developing into a very serviceable backup 5. I'm really enjoying watching him get more comfortable with his game as time goes on.

Sure he will.
 
Rodney talked about the guards learning to place the ball during their passes to the bigs where it puts the big in a position to make a play. That resonated with me.
Our guards are exceptionally talented at throwing passes at people’s ankles in the paint. I too hope they work on that. Ferm could be a lot more effective if he received better passes.
 
Well then Odom needs to hit the portal…hard
I’m surprised this past year we didn’t pursue as a priority another portal big, in addition to Bam. Perhaps we did on numerous occasions and all were misses? Seems hard to believe a back up big someplace wouldn’t want to be in our program to do similar? We have zero flexibility for foul trouble or injuries. We really need 5 more serviceable fouls to give up front. I guess staff felt that role can be handled by a walk on. Next year will be similar. We lose Clark and get Silas. Assuming everyone stays, don’t we still need portal backup big?

We have a few holes to fill next year, plus do the scolly's increase to 15 next year?
