Always true for transfers from lower conferences. At 6’6” with outside range, I see his skills translating to power competition. Look at the schools pursuing Green. They feel the same.
I did some looking around on on the web... The University of Kentucky message board had a whole thread on Max Green. He played high school ball in KY, so people were aware of him. He was a late bloomer according to some (others dispute that) and his profile increased significantly as a high school senior, when he led the state in scoring. Like Nick Martinelli and Justin Mullins, his recruiting prior to that was tepid - he had offers from a couple MAC and A10 teams. Some questioned his defense - but that seemed just general internet stuff. Nobody saw Green as more than a bench piece for Kentucky (not surprising given their opinion of themselves).
I was not able to find any reports of interest from other schools besides Florida State - other than Louie's statements naming Saint John's and Illinois.
This quote is from Feb 2024... from his dad.
“There’s lots of other kids in this state who have been full grown for three or four years; they have man bodies,” Eric said. “They’re finished products. Max isn’t, by any means. There’s a ton he will be able to add to his game once he adds 15-20 pounds of muscle, which is eventually going to happen."
Will be interesting to see how he does competing with Angelo Ciaravino for a role.
