Appreciate ya doing the legwork here. Nice to scroll through, look at highlights, and make a personal wish list (as if most of these guys don't already have their new team and 💰 locked in before they enter).
Theres no leg work...copy n paste . But lets go.

Neoklis Avdalas is the name to watch in the transfer portal. Perfect fit for BU scheme.
I guess I'm not seeing what you are seeing in Avdalas. Shoots 3s at 31.4%, 44.9 on 2s, for overall % of 38.6, and eFG of 46%, and had 3 ORBs for the whole year at 6'9". He is a tall guard, so there's that I guess. Maybe he is a defensive wizard?

But can we mold him into a 3pt threat?

Even if the Ivisii return we're going to need some major front court help. Hopefully we can find some guys okay with a <15 min/game role!
Nice use of the plural! Kudos to you!

Major front court help??

Am I missing something?

Tomi, Z, and Mirk eat up all the minutes just like they do this year. Throw in Ty as all the backup 4 mins.

Even if we land Coleman, we’ll need a point guard capable of averaging something like 11 points, 4 assists. Unsure of whether Cox is that guy - maybe he is, maybe he isn’t.

In general, mid major guards are usually hit or miss at the next level.

On a scale of 1-10 how does it look in retaining mirk, peja, and the twin towers?

Apologies if this has already been posted:

Edit: I see that it has. Never mind.

My review from when he was playing on the Canadian team (pre Florida):

Rioux at 7'6" was able to play over everyone, including Jacobson. Unfortunately for Canada, he has no game. Slow. Gawky. No shot. No positioning. Worse yet, he showed frustration easily and acted like a bully. He committed several blatant pushing fouls in frustration (and was whistled for them).

I remember that game (watching for Fears and Morez at the time, how things change) and he looked awful. Made Edey look like a gazelle.
