Coach Stoudamire saysWe’re excited to have Mo in the fold! He will impact us from Day 1. With Baye [Ndongo] back along with our other post additions, we’ll have one of the top front courts in the country. Mo can guard five positions. He immediately gives us another offensive rebounder and rim runner, and he is an elite shot blocker. He’s underrated around the basket, and his offensive game will grow!
