Sorry for starting a new thread, but some of my points are covered in different threads' Anyway, I see 3 possible scenarios for Daniel and they could all be positive(some more than others). Keep in mind he is listed at 6'10", 230lbs.
Scenario 1(probable) Coach has probably had a chance to evaluate him and feels he is not an ACC player. Since this will be his 4th. year he can be encouraged to use summer school and the coming year to graduate. I think Coach would have the moral ground to do so since he will have been here 4 yrs. This will reduce our over-loaded class to 5. He can be used to give a couple of fouls and maybe give us a physical presence for a few minutes.
Scenario 2(possible) Daniel has developed enough to give us valuable minutes in the paint. Good that nit gives us another badly needed inside guy and may lessen the necessity of having to take a big man until we can get Coach really wants.
Scenario3(we can dream) Turns out to be a quality ACC level big man helping this year and next.
