This isn't accurate. We can do those three. The point LVille made was that yet another grad transfer would come along and Harmon would get pushed out.
Brad could pull a Bruce and go into the fall oversigned by one. Maybe Sencire could switch to football?

/s

historical reference to the Mike Davis / CJ Jackson situation.

PS, I do not at all like the idea of pulling the offer from a committed transfer to pursue someone better.

Would hard to see him coming to come off the bench in a 6th man type role unless Brad wants to play real small ball and Coleman is ok playing the 5.

RayJ, Reeves, Shannon, Domask, Hawkins with Rodgers, Goode, and Dainja off the bench would be a pretty nasty rotation and really wouldn't be that undersized.
Guerrier would obv be the starter over Domask here

you mean the kid who played us with 4 other teams and could have made his mind up a month ago? that kid? this is big business
and you get yours or you get left behind.
No, we aren't talking about RayJ. Read back a couple pages.

Yes … TJ & Coleman & RayJ have spoke before … Announcements start tomorrow and should be complete by EOW … But we’ve down this road with RayJ many times before … Baylor vs Illinois … Flagler is 60/40 on coming back as of right now …

No … Harmon isn’t going anywhere … Brad loves that kid …

3 booms … Stay patient my friends …

Two booms for TSJ and ColeHawk. The third for either RayJ or mystery grad transfer PG.

Have to credit Brad where it’s due if everything plays out like it’s been discussed on here …

He flipped this entire roster and went from the youngest team in P5 to one of the oldest in P5 …

But hey, don’t forget … Brad doesn’t make adjustments … 🤷🏻‍♂️
Agree. But like many posters, I am still trying to figure out if having a roster full of yearly transfers is a sustainable strategy for the coaches and enjoyable concept for the fans.

Looking forward to putting this behind us! Any chance they’re collaborating and all announce at once?

As for Harmon, who needs an experienced guard who can shoot and step in at PG right? 😂 ILL!

why not transfer now? If he's thinking leave mid-season or just stick it out and leave at the end of the year, he still isn't playing until next season. Leaving now at least he can learn his new system this year and be ready to go next, plus doesn't lose any eligibility.
Reading a lot of the UofA fans responses, still sounds like they expect Boswell to start. Even if he is the 6th man, that’s a whole lot better than sitting out the entire season.

Reading the insider tea leaves, it sounds like:

TJ - expected back
CoHawk - Undecided, but leaning back
RayJ - Undecided, but leaning IL

Worst case, 1 of 3.
Best cases, 3 of 3.
Over/Under, 2 of 3.
