Is a beast. Enough said.

[wadesworld]

Let's relax.  One game against an undersized team.  He certainly helps and understands the game.  Allows Wojo to play the style of game he would like to see (aggressive man defense, force turnovers, and transition, work the ball inside in the half court).  But I'm not going to expect 8, 5, and 4 blocks every half, or even every game.

you heard it here: no optimism/excitement about our team allowed. Verified facts only.

He had a great first half of his first game at MU.   No arguing it.   I refuse to put him on the Mt. Rushmore of MU.   Yet.   It sure was fun, though.

[brewcity77]

He's exactly what we need. Tonight has been gaudy, but his defensive presence has been big on every possession. Too bad Deonte left, he needed a presence like this in the paint to be truly effective.

Better then expected, only 1/2 game but pretty excited about the future with the team next year and beyond

Spot on.  Lets see how he does in BE play against Ochefu, Stainbrook, Hopkins, Obepka, etc.  

But, what a difference, the skill set is there and he can actually catch and shoot the ball.  World of difference from last year with Otule.  Great half for him.

A five tool big?

Rim protector, rebounder, passer, post moves, pick and roll game?  Enticing........

Yeah that's the bummer.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Wow!  Luke makes us so much better!

[esotericmindguy]

He looks better than advertised. Really nice to see a big man make a jump hook. Needs to be careful with the fouls, could have had some more calls in the half. Future looks bright.

I expect him to average at least 8/5, but I'll be happy with 1-2 bpg.

Be the difference Luke.  Love the hook shot!

He looks fantastic. Makes everyone better
Anyone with eyes can see that, no need to qualify it.

[wadesworld]

He looks great.  I'm just saying it was 20 minutes into his Marquette career.  He certainly changes the dynamics of this team, and I think that is going to be where he leaves his biggest mark this season moreso than the numbers he puts up (which, again, have been great this game).  I am expecting something like 8 and 8 from him on average, but to probably have a bigger impact than what those numbers would suggest just in the fact that we haven't had anybody who can do what he does until now.

Having said that, I have an anticiperection just thinking about him and Hank locking down the 4/5 next season.

A breath of fresh air for this team, for sure.  Appears to have a solid skill set and will only get better.

Yeah I don't think the points are a huge concern anyways. He'll get his when its there but its on defense where it is an incredible difference. It is opening things up in transition for us. Lets Duane drive at will where he has been sensational today(converting freebies not so much lol).

[The Lens]

I thought he'd be a big project.  He doesn't play like a sophomore.   He's a game-changer.  This season just got really interesting.

[tower912]

Looking tired in the second half.   IMO, Wojo should have run STjr in and out to give him a little rest. 

[Tums Festival]

He has a high basketball IQ, great fit for Wojo's system.

He has played a lot more already than i expected

yes

[brewcity77]

He so thoroughly changes our post defense. What I love is his mere presence can change shots. At least twice, Blakes has driven and pulled up, altering his angle rather than attacking the shot blocker. We didn't have that a week ago.
