He can’t play, waste of a roster spot

Definitely a Louisiana/LSU type of name.
Can he make a roux?

7 inches taller than Andy Campbell and probably less talent , 6 inches taller than Big Tuba and definitely less talented.

Wade recently seen in Gainesville

Del Piero was better than this guy

He absolutely was not. Rioux is also a freshman. Cant imagine he will be here so it wont matter but I imagine when hes a senior he will be a much more impactful player than Del Piero was.

He sucks!

At 7’9” his body would always be a question mark

I imagine he'll go to some small mid-major somewhere. Clearly isn't major conference talent 2 years in. He was just a walk on at Florida

Del Piero was and you kinda can't argue he's just a freshman vs ADP being a senior since ADP was a tuba player. Also this is Rioux's redshirt freshman year and in ADP's second year he once scored 13 in a SEC game. Rioux didn't score 13 this season.

ADP got a lot of playing time because that lsu team had extremely limited bigs. Rioux didn’t get much playing time but Florida was the defending national champ. That’s a tough lineup to crack

He got two minutes in 60 point game against Prairie View where Florida was up by 39 at half. He's a human victory cigar not a real player. Not his fault. He's just at a size where he can't move.

Might be to tall. Usually people that tall have a lot of issues with their knees.

Yea I had read some of the comments after I sent this and it doesn’t sound like UF fans are sad at all to see him leave.

While Florida was obviously talented, again this kid was a walk on. He barely could ever play at IMG and averaged like 4 points a game in international play or so. He just isnt any good at this level of basketball which is much much more difficult than international ball and especially high school ball where he was pretty invisible to start with. Imagine being well over a foot taller than basically anyone you play in high school and rarely being able to get on the court.
He's a guy who could maybe get 10-15 minutes a game at a smaller mid-major D1 school. I just dont think a guy this size can play much basketball at all with lack of coordination.

7’9” and NOT in the league already…hard pass.
