He was going to be 3rd on the depth chart the remainder of his career most likely. Andre has been a revelation. I cannot believe how good he is already as a freshman. He needs to have a serious offseason in the weight room- if he does, I cannot wait to see what he does for us next year 1 Quote Link to comment

Oh I agree, I expected him to really make a jump this year. He just doesnt have touch around the rim. Not sure if that can be coached or not. Maybe making him use eggs and toss them up and catch them gently. Who the hell knows lol 1 Quote Link to comment

Who the hell knows lol Using your egg analogy, I'd prefer he'd grab those eggs with both hands and thunderously jam them down through the nets with authority rather than gently laying them on the rim and praying for a friendly roll. 1 Quote Link to comment

I was always confused by this. He couldnt finesse around the rim and also couldnt power it in. 2 Quote Link to comment

Just seemed to hit a wall this year. Best of luck to him. He did improve last season. And did pretty well for a 17-year-old thrown into the fire. His biggest issue is he can't score at the rim. I was hopeful that an offseason of work would help remedy that. It did not. If you struggle to make layups, it's pretty tough to play major college ball. Quote Link to comment

Being able to take a drop-step or receive a pass and dunk the ball in traffic is much harder than it looks, and those types of athletes usually end up at better programs. That's why having touch around the basket is so important, and Yvan never could figure out that touch. Quote Link to comment
