I don't know if Ryan will dominate. At least probably not right away but I do believe he will be somewhere between freshman Q and freshman Greg. Ryan will be competing against 2 bigs with NBA bodies and a human pogo stick everyday in practice. I believe that by the time we hit conference play O will not be a problem.

Will you guys please stop with the whole "explosiveness" thing. Mutombo is incredibly polished and he's so subtle that he fools you with "finesse". His father taught this kid really well. Ryan is going to dominate the BE. Say what you want, but this kid has great hands, great feel for the game, great positioning, great touch and I could go on and on. He's definitely a 5 star kid. 4 star doesn't do him justice. He's a thoroughbred and GT is LUCKY to have him. These guys on here are such experts. They will give you the analysis and statistics and convince everyone that "this guy" doesn't have the goods. Everybody who is a basketball player must be able to jump, shoot threes and be efficient every game otherwise they are not basketball ball players and probably should be wrestling for WWE or something like that.

At least he's winning his games against mediocre competition... Says the guy with zero followers and over 1000 posts.

In what way do you figure that's a normal response to my post? Do you understand what my post is about?

You know who else isn't an explosive athlete? Luka Garza, the favorite to be the NPOY. Ryan isn't perfect. When you break down someone's game, you can talk both positives and negatives. The narrative that as fans you have to solely be positive is insane. I think Ryan is going to be a very good player. Maybe not starting level day one, but he's a very talented player and will be a big contributor for years. Doesn't mean he's explosive.

He's rocking Holloway's jersey number. FWIW A little while back, I asked him on one of those Instagram "ask me anything" type of things what number he hoped to wear and he said he was hoping for 21. On this topic, Aminu wears 24 for his HS and that's Kobe Clark's number, so that's another one to keep an eye on

21 is Sleepy's number. Hoyas do not retire basketball numbers. If they did that one would definitely not be available.
