Is he returning? Supposed to be highly skilled

I suspect he is in wait and see mode. If X recruits another other true center, I suspect he'll leave.

I also heard that he is skilled, and that's another reason why I want X to bring in a veteran hybrid big (4/5), like a taller Jerome Hunter, so perhaps Westphal will be less threatened regarding PT. I'm not sure how ready he is anyway, but we need someone for sure, bc Nwoko is foul prone.

Anti-homer Nwoko fouls at a higher rate than Milicevic. I didn't think that was possible. No wonder he only averages 21 minutes a game

That's why X needs a capable backup. I am skeptical that Westphal is the answer, but only the coaches know.

I will say this about Nwoko. The SEC was the best league in bball last year with a lot of talented bigs. Fla had three post players who will drafted in the NBA this year. That's a hard way to break into CBB.

AS REPORTED ON time to build a roster for next year.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
