Another question.... I believe it was rumored that Cliff O was headed to St. John's (If I'm not mistaken). Is he an option? I understand we don't want lane cloggers, but at this point we need someone to guard all of these monsters these other B1G teams have....

Brad, Geoff and O didn't fly to multiple spots overseas just for wishful thinking...

This may be a dumb question but are these European guys coming to college because we pay more or just simply for exposure to NBA?

Seems to have a decent start on his footwork and positioning but we’ll see about the latter in B1G play. Has enough length to block shots even if he needs to get Fletched. Even saw a few rim runs - he will probably have to rely on a bit of strategery to do that at this level but he seems to have enough tools to work with. Seems like a good find.

Coleman just did an interview with Jeff Goodman on Field of 68. Really insightful as usual for Coleman. He spent over 40 mins talking to Goodman. I don't think we should count him to come back if the NBA route doesn't work. He talked about not wanting to take mins away from guys like Morez. He also mentioned that he would never transfer to a Big 10 rival school nor Mizzou. But, I hope for his sake, the NBA is where he ends up. I think he has heart set on that. Entering the transfer portal was a smart business decision and have no issue with that. Even if he were to transfer, I have no issue with that either. I feel like he would've preferred to been used differently rather than being stuck playing the 5 but he is a consumate teammate and pro. He did what was in the best interest of that team

Both guys are already on draft boards for 2025. Think it's just see a little bit of the American game as well as NIL

Very nervous. I don't see a tournament team today and the best players are already locked up or not in the running... We're gonna need a last minute hail mary. The Insider assurances have either fallen flat or been completely underwhelming. There's no Terrence Shannon Jr. to grab.

I also can't imagine it hurts to have their game showcased on American TV often and also playing against more "known" and scouted players, some of whom they'd likely be facing in the NBA at some point anyway, should they make it there.
