If we get him then how do you think minutes will be distributed at C? Does he leapfrog the others and backs up Sidibe? Bit of a project as well along with the other guys? At least one of JBA/Jesse transfers? Are we not confident with any 2021 bigs?

At least one of JBA/Jesse transfers? Are we not confident with any 2021 bigs? Great question. I think going into the season it’ll be an open competition, and we’ll find out who’ll still be standing. If Frank commits I can see someone leaving. Maybe Jesse can switch and provide minutes at the four spot for Marek? And no I don’t think we’re confident with the 2021 bigs.

Looks like we got a shot here depending on what this guys priorities are. Playing time, education, conference, coaching preference, or bags of money?
Let’s hope the Dome, ACC, legendary coach, and weak roster at his position can entice him. Let’s Go Orange!

Who are these dudes interviewing from mom’s basement, lol?
I’m not even really sweating this recruitment. It might be a nice moral/recruiting/image win but, let’s be honest, he’ll barely play even if he shows up.
Sharp kid. Well spoken. No mention of JB just Red. Talked about getting opportunities to play. Even mentioned winning games in blowout fashion so he can play in case he comes off the bench. Talked about development of players. Talked about how good SDSU is and how good they were going to be in the Tourney. I’d say it’s between us and SDSU. I’d say Aztecs if gun to my head based on what he said.

Hes a much better athlete then any of our current bigs. Would be a real nice recruiting win. I get the being down on how our big recruiting has been lately but this kid would be a nice pick up. Real nice. Cmon dude

And hes absolutely one of the better big guy recruits we have had in a few years if we can land him. Better athlete and much more quicker/mobile then our current bigs. Real good hops and slams everything near the basket. Long wingspan that can be a good rim protector if he can learn the zone. Very much similar to Isaiah Jackson and how he plays.....not sure why u would be down on bringing in a player like him...was right around 85 in the 2021 class before he reclassed and was recruited by pretty much every major program. Didnt get much exposure this year because he literally played on a SUPERSTAR team that was ALL green/burnett show. It was there team and pretty much they ran the entire show making it hard for this kid or any kid on the prolific team to show much of their game this year. He would be a great pick up for us.

And for comparison.
Isaiah Jackson 6'9 200lbs with 7ft wingspan
Frank Anselem is 6'10/6'11 220lbs with a 7'5 ft wingspan. Lot to like here.
Similar athletes but frank needs some developing on the offensive end. Again the rankings he dropped when he reclassed and didn't get to show much with the team he played on. Really good athlete. Look at his offers and who was recruiting him.....all the major schools.

Look at his offers and who was recruiting him.....all the major schools. I do like him just think it would be hard for him to break into the rotation, regardless. From his point of view, from the interview, it seems like he wants minutes naturally. Trust me, I’d be happy to have him and for sure it would be a nice recruiting win. I guess I’m just pessimistic about his potential playing time.

I guess I’m just pessimistic about his potential playing time. Why??? Hes a better athlete right now then any big on our team. I'd expect Sidibe to start and for this kid to see minutes for sure. Hes noticeably a better athlete/quicker/twitchier/better hops/ then anyone we have. Think rim protection and defense. The offense will come and at least when he does get the ball around the hoop he literally dunks everything with ease. Keeps marek at the 4 where he belongs and depending on this kids game he could fill some time there as well. Sidibe/marek are WAY to foul prone man...JBA is the question mark and unknown. Will be interesting to see how he has developed and where he fits in. Jesse showed some nice stuff and maybe he will fight for minutes but I still think he needs to get stronger so we'll see...I'd rather have him because of the athletic ability. Runs the court and isnt clunky or a strider. Higher upside and would be the best big we've brought in in quite some time. Bot saying much but still....this would be a real nice recruiting win and pick up if we close.

Another thing to think about...regardless of what kind of playing time he may or may not have....I dont think our staff feels great about our 2021 big situation so I would LOVE to have a sophomore Frank Anselem with a year under his belt for the 21 season and then land big man Donovan for 2022 worth Dior/Zion. Just sayin....that is if all that actually happens lol.

Just sayin....that is if all that actually happens lol. I think you are right re: 2021. Gotta be a factor. Again, this is nothing to do with Frank‘s talent. Hopefully it’s enough to force JB’s hand into giving him good minutes. Just super curious what their hopes and plans are for JBA/Jesse. I mean what did they recruit them for, lol. We’ll see. Hopefully he does commit and comes in like gangbusters like we hope Kadary will.
