Also 79% FT ... doesn't get to the line a lot, but that's a wild-card positive.

Actually, a freshman shooting 32% is pretty solid. Especially making almost 2 per game.

He shot 40% from 3 in February to seasons end

Has he entered the portal? Please do not contact if he hasn't...

Unless you're Bill Self or Chris Beard, it's frowned upon!!

If anyone is interested in his game. A couple other single game vids out there, too, that I think give you a better feel for where he excels.

If we're gonna take another guard who shot in the low 30s from three, give me the one who was a freshman and came on strong as the season went on rather than a 4th or 5th year guy. Big fan of Rohde but imagine he'll be highly sought after. Finished 6th in the Summit in scoring, 4th in assists and 2nd in steals IIRC.

This kid reminds me a lot of AJ Green honestly.. With that many years to play, he’d be a good get with a bunch of potential. Would love for him to put on about 15 more pounds though, but he’s only a freshman so that’s coming.

Follow up to this. Bradley board saying that one of the issues is that he's an engineering major that graduates in the spring and Bradley doesn't have a Master's in Engineering program. I think I know somewhere that does...

Purdue and Iowa State two of the best in the midwest.

He would need to eat 10 cheeseburgers for breakfast,lunch and dinner to play in the Big 12

See I just don't necessarily buy this. There have been multiple skinny Cyclones that have been good in the B12, a couple that have gone on to the NBA without ever looking like a linebacker. There's a level of functional strength you need, but unless you're gonna get posted up constantly I don't think it is or should be a deal breaker.

Some strength is certainly important but this site tends to overrate it for bball players. Especially perimeter oriented ones.

Current NBA all star Tyrese Haliburton isn't exactly ripped.

Rhode....3 years to play....late bloomer.....Milwaukee kid. Can't imagine we wouldn't reach out IF our coaches have room.

He wasn't even a starter though. Maybe he was asked to move on? I thought he looked pretty good in the time I saw him on the court personally.

I swear he looked better against us than anyone else

Each time we played them, he carved a normally great D up. I was shocked he wasn't a full-time player. I could see him being a really good player down the road somewhere, I think he sees the game pretty well.

Took a leave of absence from the team in February. Something must be going on. Don't want to speculate because I don't know any specifics about the situation. He's from an hour outside Norman though so this is interesting.
