Darrean Wyatt was signed as a Cat B Rookie for the 2016 season: https://www.afl.com.au/news/109660/collingwood-signs-204cm-college-basketballer
He played 12 Reserves games that year, but was let go at the end of the season, having really struggled to make an impression: https://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/news/324056/magpies-announce-list-changes
He's played for the likes of Gisborne, Glenorchy, Noble Park, Port Melbourne Colts, and in the VFL with Coburg and Frankston since leaving Collingwood. He started this year with Wodonga Raiders (5 games), moved to Melton South (5 games), and finished back at Port Melbourne Colts (4 games)!

Gotta admit, every time I click it, I’m hoping for the news and the posts trolling Dave to start the welcome thread.

Jeez that’s a blast from the past. He was always a long shot, much like Richmond.

Pretty amazing that Cox and Keefe are closing in on a combined 30 years in the system.
Unfortunately, there was a good reason those two only lasted the one year at Collingwood! Despite being Cat B Rookies the club didn't keep them on.

Good news re: any knee concerns.

However these dudes didn’t include Condon in the top 30 power forwards in NCAAB at the moment.

I know he played both last year, but in terms of an NBA prospect, is he viewed as a 4 or a 5? MIght just not be categorised for that list.

Not in the top 30 by position in College ball and also has to compete against internationals for the draft.
Not looking promising for him unless he develops exceptionally well this season.

He's a center, and would be ranked as one (theoretically, I'm not suggesting he'd be in the Top 30 because I don't know the rest of college ball that much)
He's 7 foot - Unless he's handling the ball like Giannis, he's going to be considered a center. If he plays the 4 it's only because Florida has an absurd amount of size on their roster.

Has him as a forward/centre here
The roster seems to have more players that are guards than forwards/centre

Micah Handlogten is already starting at center for Florida, and you only need one on the court at any given time, and they then have Condon, Rueben Chinyelu and incoming freshmen Viktor Mikic and 7'9" Olivier Rioux. That's a lot of centers on a college basketball roster. If Condon wasn't willing/able to play forward it might make playing time hard to come by, but on virtually any other college roster he'd be playing center.Has him as a forward/centre here

Think of the blokes who play second ruck in AFL like Cox. A lot of them start on the bench and then come on to give a rotation to the ruck and then a forward. So they play as a forward/ruck. But most of them are more suited to one role than the other.Has him as a forward/centre here

That was Condon last year. Started bench and rotated in for centre and power forward, but I suspect he'd be more highly rated as a centre than a power forward

Can’t get Aussies to run while they’re drinking. Now if there was a barstool event….

A mobile barstool event?
You've got to be able to do it pissed. I'd hospitalize myself trying to do that sober.
