Fun fact: The Croatian and Montenegrin Languages are very mutually intelligible, and are considered by non-locals as two dialects of the same language. (They're qualified as different languages because of politics and the history of the region.) We could have three players on the court all communicating in a language other than English.

Need to stop going so hard on Euros imo. Look at Houston. A bunch of really athletic, long American guys with that dog in them. That’s who wins championships in college basketball.

Solid vet backup guard, Sarr/another wing if he goes to the NBA (unlikely), and take some big swings at the two. Three more additions plus maybe a practice player left.

How do you realistically get a backup guard from the portal these days. Best you can really do is a freshman or a “starter” that gets recruited over and accepts the role. Houston’s backup guards are a senior second year at program guy that got recruited over and a program guy sophomore probably trusting the process when other guys leave after this year.

Still waiting on someone to enter the portal, but they will still target Ian Jackson and few others at the two. Jackson is probably a long shot, but they have some other very solid options. Like I said a couple days ago, they have made some traction with the vet guard that would play the "Harmon" role. Couple of options there.

This kid might be skilled, but our front court is going to be extremely unathletic on defense. Another year of 5 out offense and drop coverage (terrible defense). Yay (n)

There is a good chance we have multiple very good to great defenders as our 1-2 guards with lengthy shot blockers behind them. The ability will be there, the direction and coaching of Hamer and Brad is the key
