With Baby Pej are we top 25? Top 10?

 

[Amelot]

There was a time when $80k and a Chevy Blazer could secure one of the top players in the country. /s

There was a time in the late 60s when UCLA players were never losing games and were being paid $10 per rebound.

Correction: Boswell, Rodgers, Eastern Bloc, and Associates

You went limited partners route, I chose rock band route

Impossible to tell until we play, much like last year. There will be a TON of unknowns.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Bring on Claudevic.

As is the way with Portal World generally. There are wide error bars on everybody.

But we are in the mix and have a great roster for playing the kind of offense we've proven to be able to hurt people with.

 

[ILL21]

I want top 4 and a shot at 1 the last weekend of the year.

If all the players make it over here and eligible with no hiccups.
And considering the retention of BAM and Tomi who are highly regarded.
And add in Rodgers and Davis for extra continuity.

I'd say anywhere from 14-20 to start.

We’ll have a better idea when/if we play an exhibition game like we did the last two years.

we getting AS or nah?

Visit went well today from everyone I spoke with. He was very outgoing and seemed to enjoy everything. Big smile all day. It’s all about numbers anymore but it sounds like he could be ours. Will know very soon. Personally from conversations today I feel pretty confident in him coming.
Feels like AM is not what we want. We may need a player like him but we want the fit to be good. He’s not. That’s my opinion along with others.

So is this 22 year old Euro technically a freshman? I’ll be honest bc I don’t think many people on this site are. I have zero attachments to rent a players from Europe. This doesn’t do anything for me. It really is semipro basketball at this point.

NCAA or Euroleague?

Only if their growth plates are still open.

Miller just wasn't enough of an offense initiator and ballhandler to be the right fit in that spot once we started zooming in on wings like Andrej.

Petrovic kind of almost flips the problem, he's an absolutely true true PG who will start and if anything he pushes Boswell off the ball even more than KJ did. Exactly how Boswell feels about that is a, uh, pertinent question.

But it's an impossible opportunity to turn down.

Just like to know why the information I shared was deleted. I don’t share info unless I believe it to be accurate. And I tell it as it is. I don’t guess. I said we would have a commitment this week. It was really all about the money. As always nowadays

Getting a LAD vibe in here this evening…

You have no idea how this guys skills translate to the NCAA. The league he played in wasn’t good at all.

I watched two of his highlight videos and mostly just saw him driving the lane. Is he really a good facilitator, as PG?

Also, what's his real height? He didn't look 6'3" in the videos to me.
