Oh yeah. Just saying, behind Wesson, Giddens can get his time to “shine.”

Looks like he ended up at Vermont.

from georgia to ohio to alabama to vermont. quite the globetrotter. anyway, vermont seems like a good fit. after 3 seasons over 4 years, he's by no means a high-major player. one of the biggest recruiting misses by the recruiting services, matta, and many other big-time programs.

On the positive side of things, young Giddens has had quite the diverse cultural experience in college. Not ideal in some ways, perhaps, but certainly an education.

He’s an Alabama grad transfer. The words “diverse” and “education” do not apply.

DANIEL GIDDENS
TRANSFERRED ON MARCH 28, 2016
A four-star big man from Georgia, Giddens was the first of three dominos to fall shortly after Ohio State’s 2015-16 wrapped up with a second-round NIT loss. After averaging 3.8 points and 3.6 rebounds per game as a freshman, he requested his release and joined Avery Johnson at Alabama a month and a half later.

Giddens sat out the following season then averaged 4.2 points and 2.5 rebounds in 13.3 minutes per game for the Crimson Tide. The next year, he only played 115 total minutes in 14 games. He opted to transfer again, and the Chris Holtmann-led Buckeyes shockingly became an option. That didn’t come to fruition, though, and he ended up at Vermont, where he recorded 3.4 points 3.1 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 14.5 minutes per game as a full-time starter.
