Further evidence that Jeff is hoping to play Ezikpe mostly at the 4??? Only other ways to look at it is that Jeff forgot about Ezikpe, or he intends to start Ezikpe at the 5 and the other two compete for time as reserves. I'm thinking he wants Ezikpe to be a big starting 4 player at ODU this season, or at least get a lot of minutes off the bench in that role. He might resort to playing Carver like he did Robinson this past season with Ezikpe coming in for him.

“I look forward to having Dimitrios join the Monarch family. He’s a young big man with international experience and great potential. His addition brings another big body to our roster. He’ll compete with Dajour Dickens for minutes at the five spot.”

Kalu is a 4. Everyone that’s associated with the program calls him a 4. That doesn’t mean he can’t play the 5 out of necessity, such as injury or foul trouble. Not sure why this is a surprise to people.
