Drake guard just entered portal. Last few games of season he really came on. He would play at Iowa next year!
You can bet Clones will be after him

Feel sorry for Drake coach. He loses his best players to Power 5 and has key injuries And still wins
 
He does look like a player but I'd hate to see Fran bring him in and basically dump on JT and Ullis. I think PG will be fine between those 2 and they deserve a chance. Need a big or two instead.
 
Don't see Yesufu playing at Big10 level.
Last 4 games are a good sample size. all tourney games: W over Bradley, L to Loyola, W over Wichita St, L to USC. He played nearly every minute (156+).

Did he score? Yes - but he needed volume to do so - FG 28-81 (34.5%). Basically 7-20 per game. Turnovers = Assists, but both low (good & bad). Ball was in his hands and he was asked to simply score.

Facts: He's under 6'0. Will have defensive issues at Power 5 level. Was 6th Man of the Year in MVC - but not a starter, for a reason. Was at Drake, because they were his best offer 2 yrs ago. Has he improved since then? Sure - but so does every other D1 player.

Be interesting where Yesufu and the 300ish players like him end up and what their results are the next couple seasons.

Now I’m confused. Do we want a mid major type guard that is super quick, can penetrate and could (with evidence he very well may) blossom into an NCAA star or not?

It’s ridiculous to suggest 4 games...with their 2 top players out...is a good sample size. He played in 31 games shooting over 81% from the line and over 38% from 3.

Really dig into his games - coming off the bench before the injuries to teammates....
most of the big numbers came when game was decided or when going against tired/reserves opponents. I think the final 4 games were against more solid competition and indicator.

Now with KU - we'll see how many minutes he gets. If there's a prop - would bet it'll be less min/game than he had at Drake.

Usually the question is - who can they guard?

We will find out in a few months just how good he is. That’s for sure.
