He made a free throw guys chill out
Uhhh
Respectfully he aint wemby so the glazing is unreal but he could someday develop into a Boban 🤧

Bro should be scoring 30 every game 😭😭😭
Can someone (specifically Florida fans) why he isn’t starting? Is he not good or what?
Gaytors
1 point 🔥
They don’t pass him the ball at all… tho it’s what happens in scrub minutes
If they teach the second unit how to do an entry pass or post alley then he could’ve had a more empathetic start to his career… he’s still too bouncy and deerish on the floor but he’ll calm down and develop into Donovan clingan/zach edey if Florida can protect his knees and ankles
The fact this guy had to redshirt and now has people going crazy for making 1 free throw confuses me. Hes getting treatment as if he has cancer and is getting like sympathy. If hes an actual healthy ball player who is almost 8 feet tall he should be averaging 30 and 15 minimum.
How was that second foul for rioux
0:45 The 7-foot-9 basketball player for Florida is Olivier Rioux, who is the tallest player in the history of NCAA men's basketball
Dam they treating a 7”9 dude like a make a wish
So he's just there to be a 7'9" attraction and nothing else?
This dude is the literal epitome of big for nothing…he has the coordination of a baby giraffe
How many points did he score the whole game!
nba next draft
Let me know when a 4' 9" guy scores.
Should have went to Purdue and asked for the Zach Edey project program. Florida has too much talent to develop hm into a role player. Even in 4 years.
tall = good. What a goofy sport lmao
I hate that he's just someone they throw out there when they are up by 40. If he was serious about basketball, you gotta go to any school where you can actually play
7'6….9 whatever he is, coaches gotta scheme some plays for him 😂
Who cares
never seen someone catch a rebound with their chest LMAO
1 point. 1 rebound. A DOUBLE SINGLE!!! Really stuffing that box score. No wonder the crowd went crazy. It could be DECADES before we see another DOUBLE SINGLE!!! #1 overall NBA draft pick next year👍
This is cool to see, but when is he actually going to start playing, whats up with only ending of blowout games. I want to see bro next to wemby to see if he's really 7'9. Although wemby destroys him cause he can barely run
Like he might be trash. 7’9 redshirt bench player. And just now getting into the game against who!!!! Overhyped but I guess raw talent
Moves pretty well for his size compared to many others that were 7’6 or taller
Is he…..even good at basketball? So far I’ve only seen him play in the dying minutes of huge blowouts. Yeah he’s the tallest player in the country but like. Is that it?
He's filling out a bit. He's still young. When he fills out his frame we'll no better about his athletism. The ultimate test is will he have the drive ?
White bol bol
Thi guy looks bad
Man how tf you 7’9 and not averaging wilt numbers?
