How good is Onyenso?

Hope we get Onyenso and Thiero back next season. We are going to need them for their toughness and physicality plus their veterans. I feel pretty good about us inside next year if they return along with Burks and add Quaintance and Cyril. The 4 and 5 could be a strength next season.
I agree, if he comes back and works on his offense, positioning for rebounds, and continues to make strides he will be a force.
Ugonna has indeed found his role. I'd love to know which of the assistant coaches was the one who insisted that he be given more (and it turned out to be 36) minutes against Auburn. CCC had 24 games before, in which to make and execute such a decision, so I'd bet a big price that it wasn't Calipari who was the driving force that allowed Ugonna to play 36 minutes against Auburn. Just MHO, of course.
I feel much better when he's in, as opposed to the other two, and evidently so does cal.
He doesn't have great hands and thus loses a lot of rebounds in traffic. He may come back because as the above poster stated, he's not the NBA prototype right now, soft playing Bradshaw and Z might get drafted ahead of him because they can hit the three.

2 good games — All American .. 2 bad games — he’s a bum .. imo think the jury is still out , def a shot blocker , but let’s see how it plays out
Ugo missed a lot of development to injury and just starting to scratch the surface. He may be our biggest piece to a March run. Defender and rebounder around the rim.
He really needs to concentrate on getting offensive boards- like Oscar.
The main difference is that AD shot blocking versatility was/is unmatched. AD blocks shots anywhere from the three point line to under the basket. The others just block shots at the basket.
Don’t disagree with that. Just saying if you look at the numbers, Ugo’s right there (actually ahead)
He has no motor, and doesn't strike me as a dude that's very coachable. You've been playing for awhile, at this point your hands should be up on defense, you should be willing to take contact, you should be dunking the ball, you should be fighting for rebounds. He doesn't really do those things, the things that most coaches would expect from him.
Maybe in the OVC or MAC .. He's better than former multi game starter Lance Ware , mainly because he's taller and longer . Both have very few true skills as it stands now .
Told you fools gold. Too inconsistent. Hands of Stone, struggles to rebound.
Low BBIQ as well. That three by the LSU big was all on him. Just left the dude wide open trying to play help defense.
I wish Cal would have developed Z. At least he scores and rebounds. All 3 bigs suck on D.
With a healthy dose of PT maybe he figures out some D ?? We know he can score and pass .. faaaar better than the other 2 , but he gets left out .
It's time to call a spade a spade. Cal is loyal to Ugo's handlers and Klutch. That's why they play over Z. Not because ''hes behind''.
^^. or how about " out of position a lot". in review of the Georgia game The F'in staff actually said that .
Out of position means: Didn't let DJ showcase his NBA-level driving skills to scouts. Didn't let Bradshaw take those 3's.
I just watched the replay of the last play. Why is our 7 footer the farthest guy from the basket, behind the guy putting it back. Protect the rim, putbacks. Cardinal rule for a shotblocker in that situation.
