Bamba Miller would be a really good pickup in the front court. More PF than C, but is 6'11, 215. Shoots the 3 well for his size, solid assist ratio, blocks shots. Would require as much cash as Williams, but probably more than we were giving Stewart.

Starters, Roberts - 220, Tugler - 230. Only big off the bench, Francis - 225.

Jardy reported that he had signed an NIL deal weeks ago. Houston just played in the NC game (and should have won) without anyone in the rotation over 6'8".

Stewart reportedly had reached an NIL agreement for next year, so yeah, he did change his mind. I think Noel is a better PF anyway. Yeah, not as good a defender, but much better at everything on the offensive end. You have Bynum and Royal to back up at the 4 so no big deal there, but you...

There is no thread for Jalen Shelley (6'8" top 50 SF with good perimeter skills) so I will post this here. He has scheduled a visit for September and the recent Dispatch article indicates that he has a lot of interest in OSU. Has ties to central Ohio (dad played for the Destroyers and has...

I don't know that I'd describe Bonner as someone who can shoot the cover off the ball. I don't know what his DII stats were like, but he was 27% from three in 2 years at Baylor. I think he's good enough to keep teams honest, but he's not as good a shooter as Thornton. Not saying we won't ever...

Definitely going to be young, but have a little more cohesion with the return of 3 frosh who played a fair amount and Key. The incoming frosh seem hungry and should have a similar impact to last years frosh (really looking forward to seeing this group in action). The addition of Battle adds...

Initially it looked like we were prioritizing a PF/C, then a wing. We may only take 1 more in the class and the shift seems to be to take the best player we can get and if we have ships available after the season, then fill holes with a transfer. The only position we are not recruiting is the...

We only have 1 returning player that is an upper classman and he probably hasn't been full go yet in workouts, so it makes sense the sophs are doing a lot of the pushing.

Katz is close to a Buckeye (and Holtmann) homer, but I don't think #3 in the conference is unreasonable, if the sophs make a typical soph jump and the frosh perform similar to their rnakings. Why do I think #3 is reasonable? - Thornton averaged 14 ppg in his last 13 games. I don't know that...

UNC wasn't that good last year. They got hot at the right time, but they were outside the top 25 most of the season.

Yeah, its obviously an outside chance, but we certainly have more talent than our record indicates. We likely get Nebraska our first game, then the second and third rounds are up for grabs. We need some help as I see us having a tough time beating Purdue or Indiana with only Okpara at C.

We beat PSU both times we played them the year we lost to ORU. We lost to ORU because our NBA guard shot the ball poorly and the 2 NBA draftees turned it over 8 times. I don't know whether Holtmann has it in him to elevate the program into the top 10, but its not always on the coach.

Yeah, the refs were really bad and no doubt they made enough of a difference to get the game into overtime. I mean the shot clock violation call where the ball hit the rim twice before the clock expired and couldn't get it correct on review. Then there were the phantom foul calls on McNeil...

Nice showing for Mobley in a tourney that had a lot of good teams (Duncanville and Sierra Canyon in the top 15 and neither won the tourney). Will be interesting to see his development and how his game translates to the B1G. Has the green light to pretty much play like Curry so will be...
