Leo Redgate is tired of hearing that Paschal Chukwu isn’t an explosive offensive player.
Redgate, who coached the recent 7-foot-2 Providence transfer and Syracuse commit for two years at Fairfield Prep in Connecticut, raved about the untapped potential in his former player and how SU’s system will play much more to Chukwu’s advantage than Providence’s did.
During his freshman season with the Friars, Chukwu played every game but averaged less than 10 minutes and averaged only 2.6 points and 2.4 rebounds per contest.
“I’m not trying to put down Providence, but not once was he given the ball,” Redgate said.
