I thought PG was going to be prioritized this off-season? Seems like we went big fish hunting and it’s blown up in Brad’s face. What are we doing??

I mean I agree to an extent, but since Coleman and TSJ announced they were coming back I don't know how much news that's come out you can really classify as positive.

There was limited possible immediate good news, since they only had one scholarship available. When Dennis went elsewhere, they gambled and took a commitment from Williams -- a risky, high reward move. They are now full; which is probably why they aren't pursuing Mulcahy.

Some act like they can just yank a current player out of summer school and say sorry, go home, we need your scholarship. I have no problem with creaning, if it is done right. That would during spring evals while the undergrad transfer portal is open. Doing it now with the portal closed would be bad optics.

A ride could still open up. The Williams situation is uncertain. I don't think Guerrier and Harmon are on campus. Hearing they are taking summer classes at Oregon and Utah Valley respectively in order to graduate. Not verified though.

I thought this was more widely known and I don't really want to spread any misinformation but from what I understand there is an open court case listing a person named Jeremiah Williams with the same birth date as the basketball player as a person of interest.

The notable part is that is was filed in the same county and the same day as other underage athletes that were involved in the Iowa/Iowa state gambling incident.

There were rumors of his name coming up in a suit with the state of Iowa

The case from May I found had no details. It listed a Jeremiah M Williams born in 2002 as an interested person.

My biggest fear is last 5 minutes of the game when you really need to be crisp with your passes and ball handling. That's where a true pg can be extremely valuable.

I recall the Virgina game last year where it was close up until those last few minutes where our inexperience at pg really showed compared to their experience at that position.....and that was the difference in the game

My concern is that we're going to have a 40% free throw shooter at the line in the last two minutes of a game.

I guarantee you if Mulcahy or Reeves or another immediate high impact guard want to come here they will find a way to do it.

Underwood has reportedly consulted with Hawkins and Shannon regarding transfer portal moves this year. Maybe one or both objected to Mulcahy joining the team?

Wasn't Hawkins openly courting Mulcahy on Twitter?
