Augusto Cassia - 2023 Wing (Verbal)

He turns 21 this year. Probably for the best as it will give him more time to gel with the squad.

 

If he can become a player, I think Butler fans will love him. From just a few seconds greeting/interaction, he was extremely personable and oozed personality.

At six-eight he's tall enough to do some work at the 4 - he appears to be athletic and active - likely will prove to be a strong rebounder.
The data I found says he's 180 pounds but I suspect that is a few yeas old. Interestingly, he was born in Mexico City. At any rate, it seems to me that given the physicality of the Big East, we are going to need him at some points during the season. Hopefully he can become a scoring threat as he gets more experience.

 

Can’t wait to see him play

EDIT: Does X not embed link the same way Twitter used to?

 

Just need to grab the Twitter URL.

 

Weird. On my phone (which I posted the Cassia link from) it grabs the X link, but my laptop grabs Twitter.

 

You can see him light up at the end when he starts talking about playing. That's how he lit up when he introduced himself to me at the AGD dinner.

Ok, so now I'm starting to believe this is a real person rather than someone who Thad made up to pad his recruiting numbers.

 

It would be a so nice to have a hyper athletic 4.

 

I love everything about this

I just keep forgetting he is a freshman
