I think he’d be at the concession stand.

What big would he be playing over? He’s basically a smaller version of Akoy with less experience

Harry is 6’11” making him taller than chagois and akoy. This thread has gotten rediculous. There is a reason froling was a high 4 star recruit. 6’11guys with decent ball skills and smooth shot dont grow on trees. It’s unfortunate that he wanted to Play for LB rather than SMU so he never bought in to what he could have been here. If he came in and worked to be in shape and do the things necessary to take his game to the next level he could have been a good player for us. Give. We are basically transfer u we should understand sometimes things just don’t quite work out between recruit and school.

Froling will probably be a solid player at Marquette. He wasn't a good fit here. Especially since we will have Chargois for the next 2-3 years after this year him and Froling wouldn't play well together. Ideally you need a guy like I. Mike to team up with Chargois.

Froling will be a good offensive player, but is a below average defender and below average rebounder. He is also slow. I think we got lucky losing him, but doesn't mean he will be terrible over the next 3 years of his college career. He just didn't fit here. He had the big man skill set Jank loves, but couldn't do any of the other stuff that is needed to be successful here.

He was and remains a fatty who literally and figuratively bogged down our offense. It was a blessing that he left. That said, I hope for his own sake he figures things out.

Better stat line for Froling in hs second game vs American U.

9 points in 21 minutes.
4 of 9 but 1/5 from 3
7 boards, 4 assists, 1 turnover.

Not bad.

The guy can be a decent post, but he is too slow to be effective for any up tempo team and definitely didn't fit in with our system. And his dream of being dirk is a joke. i Hope he does well though, no skin off our back either way.

Dollars to Donuts Chargois has a better collegiate career than Prince Harry.

Watched Harry finish a game last week in garbage time. Announcers made excuses for him that he would need to find himself and need to fit into the Marquette offense. He has slimmed down, but still looked slow and lumbering in the D end. He will be a serviceable college player; however, the end result will be interesting to follow as his game still has too many holes apart from hitting his favorite long range jumper.

We’ve established that he’s an overrated player and it was a bust. It happens. I just can’t believe the [deleted] whines about people not taking care of his diet. Hit up slim fast or a smoothie king for goodness sakes. Can you imagine where we would be if we could have landed Mudiay.

But is the younger Froling the real deal? And wasn’t that the play all along?
