He looks close to the same height as Payton, Hunter, and Entenmann and when I zoomed in on his not bright shoes I can't detect evidence of him being on his tippy toes. I like his game but aren't quite sure where he fits on the current roster. I wonder if he could provide some minutes at the 4. He's got the hops.

I just checked the roster they have Rollins at 6'7" now. That's how two inches from what he was listed at last year. That's kinda huge.

If Kent has enough offense at other spots Rollins could easily be a multi-positional defensive force. He showed some defensive chops last season as a freshman. He handles the ball well enough to rip and run with a defensive rebound, too.

I think he can give a guy like VCD a run for his minutes over the course of the season.

Last season the big men, Hornbeak in particular found foul trouble early and often. If Rollins can eat up some minutes and be productive in the post, particularly on the defensive end, that is a huge plus for KSU.
