Just read through it myself and his conclusions were that recruiting guys that will play multiple seasons with you is super important, whether that be freshman or transfers. He also noted that only teams with elite freshman AND top returners perform well. Teams that try to rely solely on...

A&M has been better the past couple of seasons, but just lost the coach that brought all of that success. Granted, I love the hire they made but who knows how Bucky adjusts to high major play. A lot more room for Duke to squeeze himself into a starting line up with so much unknown and volatility...

I think I agree with you but that is a LOW bar. And it also depends on Rogers as a freshman outproducing Godwin as we stand today because we haven’t really added anyone else

I worry about the defense and rebounding with the roster as it stands today. I think it is better overall (deeper), but without a player of Fears' caliber. The situation at the 5 is not something I'm crazy comfortable with unless Rogers overperforms. I'll go 8-10 in conference and without...

I think a unique difference here is that it isn’t a long time assistant or some form of nepotism. Huss had gone out on his own and run a program for two years and been ultra successful. Having a guy that is an alum, from the general area, and has a track record of demonstrated success as the...

I don't know what else we are after, but if they are really holding out that much hope we could probably get him for very cheap (relatively) and put more money towards a big to close out the roster.

I don't disagree, but FT% is against air and he was a 76.5% FT shooter at NOC and 76.4% FT shooter at BG. That also indicates an average shooter which I'd think is capable of shooting 30-31% from 3 as a 3rd or 4th scoring option on the floor.

He shot 33.7% from 3 in two years at Northern Oklahoma College so I think it's safe to say he's likely an average to below average shooter at this level. I'd definitely think he's better than 25% from 3 though so hopefully he can just get to around 30 or 31% and I think he'd be enough of a...

I always liked Nwankwo more than Jones. Certainly could see it go either way, especially given the Achilles injury, but I’m not 100% sold that Jones starts as we stand today. Not a bad problem to have

OU football swinging their weight around in the portal right now. Basketball has definitely upped their game with NIL this offseason. Are we seeing things get back close to “on track” in real time?

I recognize this is all semantics so I can see both sides of it, but to me the term "above the rim player" typically has more to do with vertical jump than it does dunking ability. For example, Marc Gasol could dunk and block shots but I don't think anyone was referring to him as an above the...

He's definitely no Holmgren. I watched some of his tape the other day and to me, he looks like he could be everything that we wanted Northweather to be. I don't know how stiff the NBA Academy competition is, but he has a really smooth, quick release on his shot, he's a pretty good cutter, and he...

If we get Brown, our starting 1 and 2 is going to be some combo of Brown and Pack. That's why I suggested Campbell. He's a good fit to come off the bench, provide some defense and rebounding, and is still a solid scorer even if he isn't a great shooter

Okay, so say we land Xzayvier Brown and Khamari McGriff (just speculating), the team looks like this: PG: Xzayvier Brown / Dayton Forsythe SG: Nijel Pack SF: Jeff Nwankwo / Jadon Jones / Alec Blair PF: Tae Davis / Khamari McGriff / Kuol Atak C: Mo Wague / Kai Rodgers / Andreas Holst Obviously...

Sounds like Lindsay is off the board. Probably need at least two more guards and definitely another big. What do the big boards look like as we stand today? Guards: - Javontae Campbell - Jlynn Counter - Brendan Hausen Wings - Corey Washington?? (are we still pursuing here?) Bigs - Ante...
