Was offered.  Never committed.  

yeah, he was just an offer and a dream get for many of us on the board - because we seem to lack size. I honestly don't remember having a team that is this tall - 6 players at 6'7" and higher, and many guards in the 6'3"-6'5" range, but we do lack the BIG bopper. hopefully being taller in the 2-4 positions will make up for a PG under 6' tall and the 5 being played by someone 6'8" or smaller. 

WeWe now has offers from George Mason, SIUE, Tennessee State, Quinnipiac, and Omaha, so it's not like any of the offers are that much over the AE level (if at all) but I still would have loved to see his size, athleticism, and be able reconnect with the land down under.  Oh well. We move on. 

I do like the roster, but have to beat the drum of defense and team first mentality. Hopefully the staff is able to make it happen.

Wait..didnt he redshirt this year? Im so confused. 

You mean the 7 footer, Girault that committed last year? I believe he had a health issue that was discovered when he arrived on campus and he left the team/school. Don't know his status other than I heard he may never play again. Someone else could confirm, as I am only sharing second hand info.

The name of the player was Patricio Bautista Giralt from Argentina, who signed to play back on 8-17-23, was from Argentina. Previous teams:

✔ 19U Argentina National Team
✔ NBA Academy Latin America Team
✔ Newest member of the Great Danes

The team's medical staff identified a previous unknown heart concern and the student-athlete left school at the conclusion of the fall 2023 semester.

My opinion: Considering what happen last season in its totality, I think recruitment went as well as one could expect.  Now the burden is on Killings and his assistants to build a coherent unit out of the student-athletes.

I appreciate Lindsey attitude, hopefully, all freshman, portal transfers and returning players come to summer practice with similar feelings.  The MBB program needs to improve the win-loss record and play as a team. Our conference record must improve, and we need to advance in AE Tournament, or we will be hitting the rewind button for seasons to come with mediocre teams.  Further, the number of fans in the stands will continue to dwindle.
