I think @Tre4ISU follows Michigan. He's playing behind some really good talent this year, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was better than Bielfeldt.

Depends on what you want. He's pretty useless as a post player and he's awful defensively. If you want a guy to come in and spread out a defense, he can do that because he can shoot. He's been at Michigan for 4 years and pretty much every post that has come through there has passed him up. Michigan is about the only system he really has any sort of a role in and he couldn't stick there because of his defense. So he's essentially the anit-Bielfeldt form a skillset perspective.
Man, that seems really harsh but he's just a guy that could just as well be 6'5. I'd just as soon have a more athletic guy out there that can shoot because Donnal can't play the 5. Someone like Motley would destroy him.
Talk about a volume guy.
I was looking at his averages and saw them way down. I couldn't figure out what the hell his deal. If he had lost an arm or something, then saw he only played in 2 games. Obviously must have taken a redshirt after an injury or something.
It's possible that he was the main scoring threat (or only scoring threat) and had to score through all that with everyone knowing he was taking the shot. That could improve with talent around him I suppose.
Obi 6'9" C who averaged 26 minutes and 11 pts 2years ago and guessing was injured after that. Could be an option if healthy.
@EvanDaniels Sean Obi is transferring from Duke per release. Will be eligible immediately

Sounds like he's healthy now. http://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2017/03/sean-obi-to-transfer-from-duke-mens-basketball
I see he's eligible immediately but it looks like he's only played 2 seasons; could he possibly have 2 years of eligibility left? He sat out one for injury and one for transferring. I know theres the 5 years to play 4 rule but could he get a medical waiver?
If I remember correctly, we went after Obi when he was transferring from Rice as well.
Didn't he get in some sort of situation while out there? Suspended for something maybe?
