Unlikely.

He's very skilled, in that he can shoot it. But he is very lacking in athleticism and strength. He's also getting to the point where he needs to play to improve.

Any chance Wessler becomes a beast next season? I mean dominate the glass,
MDHokie79 • 02/27/24 03:01 PM ET
He has a big heart/desire and gives 100%. He always plays hard.

A beast, don’t think so. I just hope he develops quicker than Kidd did **
Hokie`79 • 02/27/24 06:05 PM ET
…he could become the next Kyle Filipowski**

In a word: no

By the end of next season, I see the incoming freshman getting more
Femoyer Hokie • 02/27/24 04:37 PM ET
Agree. In fact, I can see Jones getting more minutes from the start!**
ancient alien 2018 • 02/27/24 06:46 PM ET
I think he could become a solid player for us

From what I've heard or read here, I have a certain amount of optimism
SteveInBaltimore • 02/27/24 04:28 PM ET
In 31 minutes of playing time, he has 10 rebounds and 4 blocked shows.
YBYSAIAHokie • 02/27/24 04:36 PM ET
i watched him at shootarounds before FSU game. He hardly ever missed.....
132807Hokie • 02/27/24 03:28 PM ET
Yes, he can apparently shoot the ball, but teaching quickness isn't easy...
bghokie • 02/27/24 04:35 PM ET
That's the main thing I've noticed in his very limited work this year
Zanderhokie • 02/27/24 04:42 PM ET
That's something. Too frail to perform down low with the big boys?**
MDHokie79 • 02/27/24 04:02 PM ET
He weighs 255#**
YBYSAIAHokie • 02/27/24 04:26 PM ET
wow doesn't look like, but hey 7 feet so...**
MDHokie79 • 02/27/24 05:15 PM ET
There's been positive comments from the coaches and staff.
YBYSAIAHokie • 02/27/24 03:11 PM ET
They recruited him. I doubt they would give him bad reviews. I just

Good to hear! there may be hope for next season! ;-)**
MDHokie79 • 02/27/24 04:03 PM ET
I still hope Kidd and Poteat return for one more year.
YBYSAIAHokie • 02/27/24 04:29 PM ET
This roster does not have room for 4 centers
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/27/24 04:31 PM ET
Can Jones play the 4? He's 6'-8" and a good outside shooter.
YBYSAIAHokie • 02/27/24 04:37 PM ET
No. He is an ideal college center.
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/27/24 06:34 PM ET
Quickness, athleticism are issues with Jones at 4. You are who you can
