Hasn't progressed as quickly as I thought he would, but nice to see him get this kind of recognition. Two great pieces for Burke to work with.

He's well ahead of Cacok as a freshman. With that, I'm not saying he will reach Cacok's level, but he has started very well. Considering he is playing as a big, I don't think he has started slow. If anything, he has been brought on slowly in a good way. I see similarities with him vs Cacok. I felt that way seeing his high school videos. He's already a better shot blocker and can help better defensively without fouling so much. He still has a long way to go, but I'm excited with what I've seen so far.

It means my expectations were too high. I predicted he'd be a starter by conference play. It's not a knock on Dodd.
