I think Christie is draftable right now. If it weren’t for money, I’d wonder if DePaul could be not out of the question.
#15 and a lefty. Does that make him a lock?
I salute you and everyone that is dedicated to spelling Humariches name correctly. I need to add it to auto correct.Our list seems stuffed to the gills with guys like this, true bigs who would be undersized as centers. Any insight on the staff's thinking there? Is Kaluma and Humrichous a functional frontcourt?
Who is guarding all these ogres the Big Ten keeps recruiting? Kaluma is super similar to Guerrier who was never asked to take those assignments.
Can he play D? Looks big and fluid enough. I saw a couple of blocks in the video and liked that he blocked to a teammate, instead of sending to the 5th row.Big Z is Zvonimir Ivisic. Played for Kentucky last year and is following Cal to Arkansas.
His twin brother is Tomislav Ivisic. 7-foot Croatian. Soft touch, can pass and shoot.
Carlos Zambrano?Who is Big Z's brother? (I don't even know who Big Z is, to be honest)
I'm right there with you. Wouldn't be holding breathe that's for sureThere is zero shot he comes here - fun pipe dream though
I don't want to litigate this to death, but I just want to emphasize a factual issue here.people screaming the sky was falling over missing out on one PG target
I know a lot of fans would roll their eyes at this "selling point" of ours and just assume the Blue Bloods can get whomever they want ... but if I were a recruit, there would be a serious appeal to being an Ayo type that *stays home* and/or brings a program back to prominence. Great players make it in the NBA regardless of where they went to school, so if you believe in your skills to a sufficient level, you don't "need" a Blue Blood to go pro. The drop-off in fan support and facilities is actually pretty negligible from a Kansas/Kentucky to an Illinois/Arkansas or whatever ... you won't feel like you are playing on some "smaller stage," and you might actually feel like your PERSONAL stage is a lot brighter.If that is all we are going against, we have one thing that they do not. A chance to be a legend! We hadn't won in over 100 years and never won the NCAA tourney. Those other schools, he would just be another. Plus, we got Fletch and OA, help him prepare even better! How's that for a case?
I think I solved itWho is Big Z's brother? (I don't even know who Big Z is, to be honest)
For the 938th time, it worked out primarily b/c of excellent coaching adjustment but that doesn't mean the concern wasn't justified. It's like if you dare question anything you're a hater. That's just dumb.
Totally agree with this. I understand everyone's perspective about the ideal offense being threes and at the bucket. What I was trying to express was we have a great asset in Ty who does everything right except shoot the ball - how do we maximize his effectiveness? It's a stretch turning him into a 3pt shooter. In my opinion he could double his court time by becoming a threat in the mid range and with a solid floater.If Ty wants to stay on the floor vs 5's in drop coverage he needs to be a threat to score. We cannot play 4 on 5. They are leaving him wide open. A reliable free throw line jumper or 3 point shot would solve the problem. Either would work. Since he needs to be around the lane to get offense rebounds I would work on a medium range jumper as it is an easier shot. Nobody complained about the analytics of Marcus scoring 16 ppg at 50% rate in the lane.
Same. I was mathing the age gap thinking it should be a kid not a brother.Thank you, I thought Zydrudas Ilgalskas had a much younger brother
I don't want to litigate this to death, ..........

Make it 4!!!!You're right ... Let me go ahead and donate $2 to ICON so we can lock this recruitment down ...
Underwood went to Europe to close on a kid, so...
UNC?We wouldn't be the only ones ... One program is rumored to have 1.5 sitting and waiting for him ...

I don't want to litigate this to death, but I just want to emphasize a factual issue here.
BU stated repeatedly and publicly that an experienced point guard was target #1 in the portal last offseason, we looked at a number of different players, zeroed in on RayJ and dedicated big NIL resources to pursue him, and the timing of it going wrong meant we didn't just lose him, we missed out on ALL point guard targets.
We left the #1 position we were looking for completely unfilled. It was neither Underwood nor Domask's intention for him to fulfill that role not only when he committed but even when we began last season.
When exactly any fan should have been optimistic or pessimistic is a matter of opinion, whatever, who cares. But it is a fact that the roster construction did not go according to the clearly and publicly expressed plan and required on the fly reshuffling of players into unfamiliar roles during the middle of the season.
I think it's better analysis to be impressed by that on the fly reshuffling than to ret-con the roster building into somehow having been a brilliant pre-existing plan. If it was all exactly as we wanted ahead of time, why were we going so hard for RayJ? Why was Domask playing off the ball to start the year?
I always respected people that adopted. Big heart.Underwood went to Europe to close on a kid, so...
Not asking for names, but can you tell us if this someone will have more of a Giorgi Bezhanishvili impact or a Matic Vesel impact?Underwood went to Europe to close on a kid, so...
