I'm less than impressed with these pickups, especially the last two. Riley's gonna have to do better or it's gonna be a long 3-4 more years.
Ugbo from BSU is a awesome pick up.
Emeli Yalaho is a mixed bag, in that we don't know how good he will be.
Yalaho came from a pretty bloody damn good NCAA tournament, highly seeded Texas Tech team.
So he could have been, might would have been a good player on a normal team, if he had been on a normal team, that was buried behind a bunch of NBA players on tech's team.
Or he could just be bad. We don't know.
He does have good 6-8 240 BANGER, good rebounder size.
We will have to wait a see on, about him.
Simon Hildebrandt doesn't seem like a good player, but he played against Purdue(one of the better teams in NCAA tournament.), in the NCAA tournament, so a real iffy maybe he is better than he seems, than I, you, others think.
He is from Canada.
I think he will be a 2 year semi project, but we will have to wait and see.
Also another thing to consider, is that these 3 players are stepping down in levels, from the levels they were at, to play against the lower level WCC competition(only about 3,4,5 WCC teams are higher level, the rest are at least semi lower level(WSU finished 5th, 6th against that(So these 3 players might do better against the semi lower level WCC, then they did at higher levels.)
