    Would love to see him develop a nice little hook shot. Almost no chance of that getting blocked.

    Remember the days of Mike White with hardly any height? That has certainly changed.

    Wow.

    Bring on FSU, heck we are gonna be taller than them now!

    I saw one baby hook in the clip and was thinking the same thing.

    Too many consonants to start him at the point.

    I just looked at the real spelling and I’m shocked how close I was to it with just randomly repeating a few consonants.

    300 and can play physical, I like it. He's nothing like the stilts FSU brought in a few years back. If he can duplicate what the 7'4" guy before him from IMG has done, UF has a good one. Welcome aboard Olivier.

    I think his last name sounds like Reyou with the X being silent. For those with more than my 2 years of French, maybe you can tell us how to pronounce it.

    Hmmm... I must say, I can find no fault in your logic.

    Yeah, I got pretty sick of seeing all those FSU teams with two 7-footers. CMW had no answer to that kind of height.

    Really? We’re getting the 147th ranked recruit in the nation as a walk-on?

    Really, where did you find that nugget? The article has no mention of him being a PWO.

    He seems much more nimble than I expected from 7'6" and 300 pounds.
