would have led UR in rebounding for non-centers. tied AA in steals.

I was looking at rates instead of raw numbers. Pretty sure Kaiser played more minutes than anyone on our team last year outside of maybe Johnston, which pumps up the raw numbers.

steal rate would have been 4th, close to Tyne.
offensive rebounding rate would have been 4th, close to AP
defensive rebounding rate would have been 7th.
block rate would have been 9th.

usage rate is in the David Thomas / AP / JRob area, actually almost dead last. The only player on our team who had meaningful minutes with a lower usage rate was AP.

Obviously these numbers don't tell the full story, very glad to hear he is a good, high effort defender.

A friend of mine saw him play up close a couple games last year. He said we landed a real good one. Said he was known as a shooter out of high school, but has a great all around game. Good size, not crazy athletic, but more than athletic enough and strong for his build.
 
Here is the list of schools that showed interest in Kaiser when he entered the portal
Oklahoma
Kansas State
Georgetown
Georgia
Mississippi State
San Diego State
Seton Hall
Colorado State
VCU
Richmond
GW
Texas State

Pretty damn impressive list of school. That is what I am talking about.

He averaged nearly 30 minutes a game for Butler with those rates. Which I think speaks highly of the fact that he can do a lot of things well and yes I've seen multiple comments online about this defensive aptitude.

Question: Where does he play? He is 6'6 listed as a guard. Does he slide into our starting 2 or 3? Where did he play at Butler?
 
I think he has played both the 2 and 3 depending on the grouping on the court, and Butler listed him as a G/F. We called him a guard in our press release, but there's no reason you can't consider him a guard in a three-guard lineup. At 6'6" he's got the flexibility to go to whichever spot we need him at.

agreed but let's not be naive. we don't get a guy like Kaiser on a budget NIL package like we ran the last couple years, even with his coach in fold.

Yes, and again the CEO and highest paid employee needs to go out and get that bag. No excuses. Mooney = Big excuse mongerer. He should have been all over PQ and whoever last two years when he still had more credibility. But he was instead taking the easy route and getting mediocre HS players.

He’s the same height as JRob, so he will be a center obviously.

At butler he mostly played the 2 with some time at 3 according to kenpom

His Maryland shooting numbers were really bad especially from 2, but soph year (which I guess was 2 years later?) were better. Need to continue that trend.

No tough midrange shots!

He only played one year at Maryland, than transferred to Butler, got injured at the beginning of 24-25 and sat out as the medical redshirt, this was his second year of playing.

As for the tough mid range shots, it's evident that you haven't seen him play a whole bunch.

I’ve quite literally never seen him play. My point about tough midrange shots was a dig at our coach’s style of play. which is evident you wouldn’t know I was discussing since you’ve clearly not seen me post a whole bunch.

The point about shooting 13-47 from 2 point range as a freshman made me assume he didn't miss 34 shots at the rim though.
