The Gazette says he has chosen to play professionally in his native Italy.

UAlbany MBB has announced on Instagram, a replacement for the Delaware Grad Student that elected to play Pro Ball in Europe. 

The replacement is Patricio Bautista Giralt, whose previous affiliations include:

• NBA Acadamy Latin America
• 19U Argentina National Team

.... by the way 7 Feet tall and plays center.... is someone moving to power forward?

He hails from Buenos Airis, Argentina.  Am I correct in saying he is our first MBB player from Argentina? 

Welcome to Great Dane Nation!!!

Freshman?

[Dane96]

Yes.  And he’s not starting.  He’s a solid pickup to backup Beagle.

Announcement does not say, roster not updated, from picture, likely however that is a guess.

Time will tell ... unless Killings has shared his plans for his new signing with you.

Whatever happens, we have depth in a position that we have rarely had any.

The kid is a bench player for Argentina. I've actually watched him play.  He's a really good, raw signing based on need.  If he plays as a starter, then we have suffered an injury.

UAlbany men's basketball adds 7-footer from Argentina

"at least three years eligibility remaining"

Had a foot injury while playing in the FIBA U19 World Cup in Hungary this summer
