Agreed. We annually pencil guys into next year's lineup that don't commit to us. I'm always skeptical of these near-locks in recruiting.

There's a good chance Humrichous is our leading scorer.

IMO it's highly likely that Humrichous starts.

Our frontcourt is loaded. Doubt very much we add another "big."

Looks like an excellent defender. He certainly likes to take it to the hole.

That team was easily the third best team since I have been a fan (late 70s). Unfortunately the players and the coaching staff had a huge brainfart against Loyola.

That's the most likely.

I agree. Very little is verifiable in this portal environment.

It's possible that, relative to other schools, we didn't have as much $ as we thought. Thus we thought we could get this or that guy for a certain amount that other schools surpassed. Of courses, little seems verifiable with portal $. Someone saying "I heard Cliff got this much" doesn't mean...

Absolutely. But there are way fewer good 7 footers than there are good guards.

6’4 is not short for a college SG. Not at alll.

I'm pretty much with you. The universities are prostituting their names. It was always 90% BS, now it's 100%. The way baseball does it is much more logical. Kids can go to a minor league or go to college and play. That said, while it's the way it is, I hope we clean up!

Duke brings in 3-5 five stars every year. And they haven't done !!!! lately. I think it's silly that kids are (still) lining up to go there. After you add so many five stars it seems like the returns on each one diminish. Or even turn negative after so many? UConn on the other hand, they...

Absolutely, if we actually get him. I'm always skeptical about rumors of imminent commitments. Recruiting is fluid.

I think the key is a quality big, and at least one quality SG (Lanier and/or Poplar would be great) who can shoot and handle. A talented wing/SF would be great, but the first two should be the priorities. Maybe Demin is quick enough and a good enough shooter and passer to be a legitimate guard?
