This all feels so weird... Recruiting professional players from overseas to come play college basketball in the US. Each year will be a new squad of mercenaries assembled from all parts of the globe.
No - not top 3. Top 3 at the end of the season might be likely but in the preseason rankings we will be ranked Top 10 at the very best and likely in the 10-20 range.That would easily be top 3 - I don't think we would have the money to get Richmond and Denim though - getting either one and then another SG like Poplar or Lanier to pair with Richmond or Denim at the three would be an insanely good team
I agree, although I can't imagine a starting lineup that doesn't include Tre White. But I'm still greedy; give me Egor and we might be no. 1 in first AP poll. It would be a lineup to win a national title.That would easily be top 3 - I don't think we would have the money to get Richmond and Denim though - getting either one and then another SG like Poplar or Lanier to pair with Richmond or Denim at the three would be an insanely good team

Where?Oh yeah.
I would think that's already been vetted since OA went through it last year with his brotherAre there any concerns with college eligibility like his brother famously faced last season?
nahOh yeah.
I hadn’t seen that clip before. Kinda reminded me of this spoof…
Oh no. He'll get his share of minutes, but not the bulk of them.Oh yeah.
I think he'll be first one off the bench at the 4 behind Humrichous.Will Rez be starting?
And he is a 80+% free throw shooter. That will come in big time.He’s 4 inches taller. Can protect the rim and shoot the 3
Please say it emphaticallyerI can emphatically say they will be adding a wing like transfer
I agree with all of this, but let's hold off on trying to judge his defense. There's a. hell of a lot more to post defense than shot blocking.He'll start immediately and be one of the best centers in the big ten. He has a developed post game already, can shoot with both hands around the rim, a very good three point shooter with a smooth and natural shot. He's 7'1 so he'll be tough to block for anyone.
He's playing against former NBA players and pros in the Adriatic league now, so he'll be used to the physical nature of major college basketball. The only question mark for me is his defense - I haven't seen a lot of his tape to know how good he is on that end, he only blocks about a shot a game, so not a true rim protector like Clingan or Onyenso - but I'm sure he can rebound efficiently.
Richmond is likely landing at St. John's as well, been that way for a while. If they got a kid from college that's not Demin I think it would be someone not named Richmond.Demin is by far the preferred wing. Kadary Richmond is more of a combo-guard and not a very good shooter.
Lol...I went way too deep.

That being said, I think there is a better than 50% chance we get Demin right now
The 3-4 Seton Hall games I watched last season was all about Richmond driving the lane for a close in shot........I agree he isn't a good shooter ( based only on the games I watched ) but he is a BEAST down low as far as rebounding........kinda played out of control too..........Demin is by far the preferred wing. Kadary Richmond is more of a combo-guard and not a very good shooter.
QUESTION FOR SMART PEOPLE - Can Booth become CoHawk?he's not wrong:
really loving the way we've built our front court: versatility galore and quality depth

What about Booth? Isn’t it more likely that Hum plays at the 3 and Morez /Booth fight for minutes at the 4?I think he'll be first one off the bench at the 4 behind Humrichous.
