He excelled in the CUSA but I don't know if his game translates to the NBA, or to a college conference where he'll have to compete against 6-8 athletes. I do know he got a lot stronger for this past season, and was easily Rice's best rebounder. But again it's got to be easier to rebound against the smaller CUSA teams than he'll likely face in the SEC.

I think that is why he is going to Florida and the SEC. If he can show well then he might have a chance to be a 6th or 7th man in the NBA. If not then he will have jobs waiting for him in Europe. I see this as an excellent choice by him.

Agree. Congrats to Egor. I wish Rice was a destination for guys to try and and win championships but it's not. When a guy is here for 3 years and gets a degree I have no problem with him trying to win one somewhere else immediately.

Could have won a conference championship if the team stayed together, just saying..
