This is a big-time add. One of the best adds of the Dawkins era.

DJ/Mikey/Sellers/Hall is a legit core. Grab a big or two and let’s ride!

Thank God! Huge get. With that core maybe we can get a decent C to buy in

I didn’t think he had anymore availability left

I didn’t think that either. I did hear that they were trying to get another year for him n with the Covid thing who knows anymore. It certainly would be a gift from above if he does come back.🙏

That would be amazing! Great defender and imposing figure in the paint. Cut down on some of the fouls and he’s really solid

Didn’t we have a Rockus some years back? From Lithuania??

 

[UCFProf]

MINTAUTAS MOCKUS (Lithuania) played sparingly last season, and now back playing in a European league.​

 

[UCFProf]

Rokas Jocius adds Big 12 heftiness and offensive skills not seen lately in UCF center/forwards. He displays a range of post moves, has the power to back down thinner centers, can drive from the top of key, and is a legit shooter from behind the arc, as well as plugging the middle on defense. Still needs development to be a decent shot blocker, rebounder, and passer. This is 2-yr old highlights: .

Needs to get stronger too. Like the pick up. Lasalle coach is good on fundamentals, old Temple coach, so he should be a good team guy.

 

[Knightmare13]

Going to be a good team guy. The LaSalle guys were showing him a ton of love yesterday on IG.

Should be the backup big, just need to find a starter.

I was thinking Hall with Benny as perfect when Knights go shorter because Hall has a pro sized forward body and Benny's a jumping jack defender/dunker so they could complement each other nicely. Then Hall and Rokas together against non-fastbreaking or interior passing offenses. Remember that Tyler and Nils are good backup guards in the rotation. You're right though that UCF needs another Big forward/center, preferably for defense.

Can they Play in the BIG 12 at BIG 12 level of play?

Rokus is a very common name, even among the Lithuanian national team.

Rokus Ulvydas is the guy that I was trying to remember for us a few years ago. We had a HS recruit last year from Lithuania. Not sure how he did. Last name starts with a P.
