Former UK commit Somto Cyril now playing for for UGA

[Smashcat]

He's raw but he is actually doing s little better off the bench than I expected him to. Stats aren't bad.

 

[Lempface]

Of all the freshmen we had coming in he was the one I was most disappointed to lose. I know he doesn’t fit Pope’s offense but I was really excited to see that kind of strength and aggression. Felt like we hasn’t hadn’t had that in a while.

Look at the tree trunks he has for legs.

 

[BlueBomb]

Just rounding, he has basically the same stats as Garrison. Both average about five and five. And Garrison is extremely important to us.

Wasn't this the kid who was doing some kind of crazy 400lb single leg squats?

I sure hope the game doesn't regress into a rock fight.

Carr, Williams and Garrison pump-faking him before shooting might be effective. He strikes me as a super-strong Andre Riddick type of player who aggressively tries to block everything and is foul-prone. Also, a very poor FT-shooter.

I don't expect many of those with Pope but if I'm playing UK that's what I want. 🤫

Yeah, I remember thinking he was alpha dog physical player and I wanted him, but now that I've been Poped and converted, Any big we get if he can't hit the three has to be a superior rim protector and top notch passer. And there's room for only one of those on the floor at a time.

I’m not surprised he’s doing well, he has the body type and athleticism to contribute in this league. If his skills matchup to his build and size he will be a force.

 

[electricat2]

he is a physical freak. but i think we will be alright against him

 

[chroix]

If it turns into a weight lifting competition we’re screwed.

 

[WildcatNC]

I really wanted this kid, even though I know he doesn't fit our offense at all. Just like bigs that treat the rim like it just slapped their mom.

FT shooting for a Big you expect to get to the line a decent amount is important. Williams gets by at the FT line, and you can tell he really concentrates and wants to make his FTs, but he's about the low bar I'd want to see if possible (I know you can't have everything).
