Great job staff

A shorter, more athletic Larry Bird.

Carson Edwards for my uneducated opinion.

Uncle Drew

 

[Bacon Butkus Swanson]

If it’s skyy or Miller I think you gotta take skyy. Younger player always if they’re even or of course it the younger guy is better.

Too many question marks with Miller right now with the acl

ACL + bad attitude = Miller = hard pass

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

If Miller wants to come back you take him. From watching his workouts on tape this summer he was going to have a monster year for LSU.

Both his Dad and Mom are on here now?

Sue Bird

School has 2 business days after the athlete notifies them officially. Wade was fired yesterday so I doubt the first step has been taken yet.

Plus they are preparing for ncaa

Does David Roddy know that he is transferring here or should one of us tell him? Maybe wait until after Colorado State gets knocked out of the tourney so as not to distract him?

Roddy got lot of love on cbs selection show

Forget Hawkinson....get Huff to decommit from Gonzaga and grab him. 6'11"- great handles, passing skills, great footwork, agile and unlimited range. Wonder how hard staff went after him or if was always enamored with the Zags. Maybe Powell was on this. Not many bigs with those skills.☹

Hope we don’t regret this one. His game is improving by the day. Very skilled for size with a really good outside touch. We got in late on him so think we missed our opportunity. Believe the prior coaches were not as enamored with him and we got more aggressive with the new staff.

And yes, Powell was leading recruitment.

That’s the Jayhawk I thought of.

 

[Noblesville Illini]

That’s the Jayhawk I thought of.

Nah, this guy

Larry Bird if he were slightly more athletic.

 

[DMWSuperFan]

I’m guessing these “stars” are very generous, right? I’ve never heard of a 4 star at Eastern or Morgan State.

Im not sure why they are listed as freshman (Khalid was a 2020 recruit and wood already transferred once…) but both were 4 star recruits at one point or another. Khalid was committed to FSU super early, decommitted and ended up at Morgan state. Wood transferred to EIU from Nebraska.

Buckner and Boyd Batts was a very good team. Won back to back titles

What deep south team was the last team to beat Thornridge before their 2 consecutive state championships? It happened at the Carbondale Christmas tournament.
