Wow I didn’t know the Caribbean was in Europe!?Yes feliz, kofi and giorgi haven't worked out at all. I doubt curbelo will as well.

Also Dominican republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico are not part of Europe last I checked.Those guys are international players but not overseas recruiting. They each played in the United States before coming to Illinois. BVB, and Vesel are overseas recruitments

Lol exactly and the country of Georgia is basically an intersection of Europe/Asia. No need to mention Giorgi in this debate tho. Informed fans all know his awesome recruiting story. It started late his senior year when he was playing HS ball in New Jersey. Don’t think you need a passport to fly there. The only technical oversea recruits (in BU era) we received commits from are Vesell and BBV.Also Dominican republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico are not part of Europe last I checked.
Big Party beat me to it!
Just more athletic!Boy that stinks, I thoughts Fitts was very similar style game to Larry Bird.
May be right. Hope so but transition not easy. Like his potential for sure but not proven.I don't get that. The kid has game. Outside shot, handles and averaged 6.6 assists/game. He's ready now. Yes he is thin, but so was Wagner last year and he made the B1G all frosh team. Plus, Fletch will put some muscle on him.
If defense is not an issue I will be shocked/thrilled.May be right. Hope so but transition not easy. Like his potential for sure but not proven.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Wouldn't mind OA getting involved with this kid again....Jalen Johnson transferring from Tennesse, South florida recruited him.
4 pts 2 reb in 15 mpg as a junior? Don't think we'll be interested.
At this point, if we are taking transfers that don't seem more high level, it feels like we are walking backwards.Remind me again what were Giorgi's HS stats, yea we weren't interested then either right?
Nevermind 6.2 and 2.6

In Giorgi’s remaining years, I doubt we ever see him play as well as he did in his freshman yearRemind me again what were Giorgi's HS stats, yea we weren't interested then either right?

It seems his confidence took a big hit last year. He went from being a big part of the offense his freshman year to a bit part last year. On defense, he struggled guarding the quicker 4s , leaving him to just back up Kofi. I hope he works hard and gets his mojo back.In Giorgi’s remaining years, I doubt we ever see him play as well as he did in his freshman year
I recall seeing BU refer to how hard Giorgi is working, and how good his attitude remains, in a postgame press conference at the end of the season. Work is the remedy to the sophmore slump, so I'm guessing we'll see Giorgi be a key guy again in the future. He had a dream freshman year, and was the toast of the town. Once a kid gets a taste of that, he'll be very motivated to do the work required to get it back. Great kid. I'd love for him to have an incredible junior year.It seems his confidence took a big hit last year. He went from being a big part of the offense his freshman year to a bit part last year.

Now BU has a full squad

Either way I doubt we would go for him, but OA did once before, and yes he did also with Feliz IIRC?
I think you are underrating Hawkins like many, but we do have a strong guard core with Trent, Miller, DMW, Curbello, Grandson and Hutcherson. Not sure if Wichita transfer Udeze is a stretch or regular 4?
I'm not hung up on that at all. Read my posts and you see I'm 100% behind the staffs choices. However, is there any indication that the transfer you mentioned is being pursued by the staff?It amazes me that many on here even after we have had some success' are still hung up on the superstar recruits or the big names. Some of the lesser names helped get us here...by the way it may have not panned out at Tennessee but this kid as a 3/4* out of high school?
