Gak's a Gator!

[t-gator]

Gak is 6'-10-11"; 200-205 lbs....he came to Murica' in 2014 for hoops. He played for Bradenton Victory Prep last season and only averaged 10 pts., 5 RB and 1.3 blocks....

He is a noob and skinny as hell....p.r.o.j.e.c.t.

Patric young and Will yuegette both had pretty average numbers in highschool. I'm not saying he's not a project, I'm saying it's not going to take much to make a productive player out of him in a few years. I'm not saying he's the next Alonzo Mourning.

At 6-foot-11 and 205 pounds, Gak is ranked as the 190th best player in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite. He averaged 13.8 points and 9.3 rebounds per game for Victory Rock Prep School last season.

9.3 is double what the other article says...9 is still pretty low for a 6'10 high school kid

Kind of reminiscent of Noah as a recruit...

6'10 and he could only grab 5 freaking boards a game? There should be a lot of questions. Even the biggest pumpers have to wonder...was he injured?

EDIT: And 40% from the FT line. He'll fit right in.

I agree that Gak is a project. It's a good pickup this late in the cycle and we're lucky to get him, thanks to Ford leaving Okie State.
Gak was not the biggest player on his team. His HS team also had a 7'1" Center, Khadim Gueye, that he was likely battling for rebounds against. The link below has Gak and his teammate in the top 100 HS players according to the NBA players association camp roster.

How many minutes did he play per game? I'd like to see that as well.

Main thing- RIMMER WILL NO LONGER PLAY.

Eaaaasssyyy guy lol

I think it's a win-win, actually. He's fortunate to get us late in the cycle, too. If he looked at tape of last year, he knows if he produces he will play plenty.

You know I think it's a nice pick up but I hate that per 40 mins stat they use so Kentucky players can inflate their stats.

Right now Rimmer is probably the better player and Gak is a pretty good candidate to red shirt.

There is a Family of Commercials on TV called "The Settlers", I think UF has joined the Family.

I would be willing to bet that's not true by this next season. Rimmer is the worst player to ever get serious minutes at UF

I've never heard of that...

BFR was worse.

Gak is going to take some time to develop. With stone coming into the lineup and possibly getting another year for murph2, I think there is a decent chance Gak red shirts as I said previously.

BFR sucked last year but he is still the better player with much more upside. If Gak can put on weight I don't see any reason why he couldn't contribute.

Bottom line is I don't want to see Rimmer on the court unless we are up 20+. He is a huge liability on both ends of the court.

Gorjok Gak? Sounds like a cat clearing a hairball. Hope he can play.

Rimmer is not very good... he is a walk on and there is a reason. He should be a practice squad guy to provide a big body for the contributors to bang on without hurting each other.

I would prefer to see Gak get time to develop in the game vs. Rimmer.

Regarding BFR... he has been in college for 2 years... I'm not sure why people are saying he has upside... he hasn't really shown it other than one game. Other than hitting shots in the WV game... he has looked pretty bad on the court.
