Not going to lie I was expecting g to read 5’10 forward. 6’4 with some ability. Sounds like a good lottery ticket. See how he develops for a couple years.

6'4" 205#   shoots left

Finished 2nd in scoring (points leader scored one more point and played in 9 fewer games) on a .500ish Brown team.

A quick perusal of "top 2025 NCAA free agents available" lists...  he's not on them.

He's probably an AHL guy. Nothing wrong with that, wonder if Karmanos wanted him.

I hope he's the next Tim Schaller (he of the career season high of 23 points in college).

According to everything I’ve been told, there isn’t anyone in this class of free agents that will be memorable. On the other hand, like someone said, it’s like a lottery ticket so why not. Plus, a twenty one year old chose to come here in spite of the lack of palm trees and all.

I don't like it.

Not enough vowels in that last name.

If he turns into the next Brett Murray then it’s a very good signing. If a college free agent can turn into a solid AHL player that helps the team be competitive and help the kids in Rochester develop in a winning environment then that is a win.

The Jobsts and Murrays and Metsas are important organizational pieces

He was only a sophomore, so the listers may not have even been looking at him.

Thank God. Now they can finally turn all of this around.
