The makeup of the roster is farrrrr from a finished product. Additions and subtractions forthcoming. We’re going to like how we look come November, I guarantee it

I don't know, e.g., current Malcolm Hill, serves as a great success story for recruitment. I do not expect Kofi doing much beyond Malcolm has been doing in the league unless he transforms himself.
I will say this. I'm looking forward to a different offensive style. Kofi was a beast, but too many times our offense was four guys standing around and watching him get triple teamed.
I'm not sure about CH at the 5, but if we can add a little more quickness and movement at that spot it's probably going to help the offense not be so stagnant.

I'm not sure how your take could possibly be "having a big that became a 2 time all-American, gets paid to play in the NBA, and made a whole bunch of NIL money along the way doesn't sell."
But here we are.

We will be fine and I'm intrigued to see what names pop up now that he is gone. Trust the staff has been planning for this and will fill this roster with complimentary players...

Is Manny Bates a realistic option?
I'm imagining we'll be closer to what the offense (and maybe defense) looked like with BU first came but with top tier talent, more athleticism and better shooting.

at least from the outside, following Kofi's announcement, we would seem to be an ideal spot for a top big on the transfer market. any non-illimi diehard is going to assume a lot of minutes just opened up at the 5
I bet that Brad knew this for a while now and has been looking at the portal. I would like a stretch 5 who can rebound with quickness

Brad mentioned the “second wave” of guys entering the portal for a reason

Isn't all pizza... breakfast pizza?
Yes....and no. I see your "any pizza is breakfast pizza"....and raise you Casey's breakfast pizza.
Thank me later.
We can check the Rantoul connection on this one!
I would believe a few more names might drop in the portal once they saw Kofi is leaving. We will have a lot of options to chose from. The timing of the Jones entering the portal is curious.
Hopkins didn’t actually commit to Providence. There was a report he did, but it was a fake account.people just really don't get it that hopkins is going to Providence
I like to go to Casey’s around 10am. Get a slice of bacon breakfast and also a piece of classic pepperoni. I call it brunch.Yes....and no. I see your "any pizza is breakfast pizza"....and raise you Casey's breakfast pizza.
Thank me later.
As far as breakfast pizzas go, Caseys is pretty pretty good.Yes....and no. I see your "any pizza is breakfast pizza"....and raise you Casey's breakfast pizza.
Thank me later.
But the Godfathers personal pan breakfast pizza at the airport when you're hung over and it's a 6am flight - that's spectacular.
Also, did AceWolf make a decision yet or did I just miss it?
Exactly. Hopkins is still in play
