I REALLY like the idea of what Mawut could develop into.
I believe he could be an upgraded version of Koloko, but with the ability to consistently stretch the floor in this offense.
As crazy as it may sound, Kharchenkov and Mawut might be my two favorite prospects in this incoming recruiting class.

Zero expectations of any foreign player staying longer than this year. They can't hide in plain sight.

That is one of my issues with Lloyd.
As good of a recruiter he is when it comes to finding talent overseas?
He has not shown the ability to develop/deploy them since he arrived at Arizona in 2021:

2021-22
- Koloko/Kriisa/Larsson/Mathurin and Tubelis already at Arizona (-)
- Ballo transferred from Gonzaga to follow Lloyd (+)

2022-23
- Bal transferred after the season (-)

2023-24
- Borovicanin transferred after the season (-)
- Murauskas transferred after the season (-)

2024-25
- Martinez transferred after the season (-)
- Veesaar transferred after the season (-)

To date, the only prospects that I will credit to Lloyd are Ballo and Krivas.
I will use the MLB statistic for ERA and I will include Dell'Orso if he progresses next season.
There are four freshmen (Aristode/Gueye/Kharchenkov/Mawut) that are also going on his record to date.
Lloyd is 29% (2/7) on developing internatinonal prospects right now.
