Apologies if this has been asked already, but what are the odds Jakstys and/or Davis redshirt next season? Could Domask or Coleman be included in that “4 to go?”

Jakstys-possible but I doubt it.

And I still am firmly in the camp neither CH or MD is back. I’d be absolutely shocked if either is.

I don’t understand why he’s the premier edits king of college bball. The glossy fonts and weird electro-wavy shadowing look pretty bad imo. Then again I prefer the simple and I’m just working on my curmudgeon skills.

I don't disagree. Lightning bolts just don't do it for me.

 

[Zweebs]

Seems like a buy low type of add. Get our top targets and everyone will probably be happy we have him.

 

[mysterio2525]

MSU Sissoko is in the transfer portal... Probably looking to join the WWE

 

[mydosburns]

Taking White sure feels like Coleman and/or Domask are very likely not back next year.

 

[sitka]

Tre White was the 35th ranked prospect in his class per 247, so he at least has some talent

29th on ESPN

@sacraig fire it up

 

[BlueLeader]

Moneyball, guys. Moneyball.

Give me a 100+ ranked high schooler that you can teach defense if that's the approach.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Or maybe just maybe the staff loves what they have in Morez/Amani at the 4/5. Youth at that position is dangerous, yes-but those two and Booth give you 2 guys (Rez and Booth) with legit NBA talent and a third (Amani) who is going to be a damn good college player.

People need to take a step back, breathe, and let the offseason play out. Let’s not act like this is going to be the crown jewel of our portal adds. The next 4 will dwarf the 2 adds we’ve had to date.

If they're relying a ab extremely green sophomore and a true freshman to handle the interior.....I would not feel good about things whatsoever. We're going from the thought of "reloading" to a place of relying on "developing" of young players to fill those holes?

We're losing a TON of scoring/rebounding. I'm hoping the remaining 4 are indeed crown jewels.

If White is the 3rd or 4th best addition, I’m over the moon. All indication is that will be the case.

 

[WyattEarp]

You need to stop it!!! Goode is nowhere in Sincere’s class!! The stuff that you are seeing Sincere doing in the video he was doing in high school !!! All he needed was to get his confidence back to where he can let out his complete dog persona

I think he was referring to the loyalty hype machine being/starting to become comparable…not their actual athleticism, or skill.

 

[FI_8905]

One coming in, one going out.

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

Think he is transferring to Michigan State?

 

[Heisenbobble]

One coming in, one going out.

Nico? Maybe Ty?

 

[HereSoIDontGetFined]

Tre White’s already been at 3 HSs and 2 colleges. This would be his 3rd college in 3 years. He def has talent (35 RSCI). Reminds of a Guerrier where’s he is dependable veteran that you know can play high major basketball

Isn't this a similar problem with Storr? We don't seem to have an issue there.

 

[FinallyMadeAnAccount]

One coming in, one going out.

What?

 

[BillyBob1]

MSU Sissoko is in the transfer portal... Probably looking to join the WWE

His punches were real and cheap.

 

[FinallyMadeAnAccount]

Storr averaged 17 points a game and as a all-b1g player

I didn’t like it either, Pru.

He seems to be a rolling stone. If he stays, that might work out great though.

 

[AirNeazy]

If he's coming as a depth piece and not expecting starter minutes, don't mind it at all and definitely don't think he's "horrible".

Looking at his game log he scored in double figures and had good games stat-wise against good competition (Texas, UNC, Kentucky, Duke). Looks to be an upgrade offensively over Harmon and has two years of eligibility left Hopefully we can get him to buy in defensively or he won't see the floor.

Feels like people are too worried about stats, they don’t tell the whole story. Tsj’s stats coming from Texas tech weren’t anything crazy. College is all about developing potential, and Booth has a lot of it. Anyone skeptical about him go listen to the podcast Werner did with Isaac trotter today, made me want him even more.

 

[egib52]

If this dude is the top 6 or even top 7 minutes next year, we are cooked. His numbers are dreadful and even they are inflated since he played on a team as BAD as Louisville.

It amazes me how many people on here believe early college numbers dictate how a player will always be. Especially those that believe in the coaching staff and Fletch's ability to develop. Many thought Domask was going to be just a role player.

 

[Idea Gardener]

It's been said we could go over one scholarship, but with all of the ways things could play out (top targets, people who haven't entered portal yet, small chance for Coleman or Domask), one would think we'd sign the "low floor high ceiling" guys later in the offseason.

But I also acknowledge I know nothing.

Here is a good description

This time last year I thought Domask was a role player, so I'll ride with Brad and co. 🫡
