… I did tell y’all not to talk about himView attachment 541032Why would he choose Tulsa over us if we were actually a viable option?

I think both are more aggressive than Aidoo and could be better offensive and defensive. We don’t block many shots around the goal without fouling and giving up 3 point plays. On the other hand, we get a lot of shots blocked inside and do not shoot a lot of free throws. Thr 5 position has been our weakest position followed by the 1 position. These 2 position have proven to be the keys go winning championships. While we have the reputation of having great defenses, we often struggle to score points if we don’t hit close to 40% of our shot behind the line. We need some short term help from the portal.I feel like Cade and JP could both have an impact next year at least off of the bench. They’re both a little thin but so was Aidoo
Too fresh. I won’t hear until after first round of games at the earliest. It’s very weird.Hmm interesting, see what @Stoerner Fumbles has to say. I do wonder if something came about on why he left La Tech…
Well yeah there’s time but that’s kinda how it went down last year but not as late? I assume most of the work has already been done with these kids by now behind the scenes. So we could be behind the 8 ball again.If he chose to follow his former coach then whatever, but I’m sure we will have plenty of other options to choose from in the near future.
They both likely will need to play in my opinion backup minutes at least. Only thing that could change that is if we get a big in portal. Otherwise all we have returning is Aidoo and Awaka at the position. Phillips played some 4 in this offense but he needs to get alot bigger and is more suited to 3.Are the freshmen coming in at PF/C expected to contribute or need a year or two? See a lot of posts about bringing in a big man, and thinks it makes sense if we can get an impact guy but also really like what we have in Awaka and Aidoo going forward.
If the freshmen can give some decent minutes, plus we go small some with Phillips/jjj if both/either return, not sure how much a PF/C is a must have unless they’re an impact guy.
Correct. PG and a big are necessary in the portal for the 2 spots we had left. If anyone else transferred maybe we go for a third. Even so I would think a good perimeter shooter would be next in line, given we lose Vescovi. Murray doesn’t fit that either. Murray should have joined us last year. Even if he entered the portal just doesn’t seem to be a need for him now.Reaching much? Besides, I said I want no part of Will Wade players...not players he recruited or tried to get (that'd eliminate half the country LOL). Phillips never played a minute for Wade, Murray did. Big difference.
Are you Brandon Murray or something? You seem to be pushing hard for this guy who isn't even in the portal.
I think we've already got the type of body/player Murray is with Jahmai Mashack, DJ Jefferson, & Freddie Dilione on team already with much more time in our system. Even if we lose all our seniors the portal pickups will be need based and Murray just isn't going to be a need especially if Phillips returns.
PG is a need and we'll likely have a need for another seasoned/proven big with ON and Uros both potentially gone.
Well, chitlins. Didn't expect this.View attachment 541032Why would he choose Tulsa over us if we were actually a viable option?
To be fair if work has been done behind the scenes it would be considered tampering again, which i don’t think Barnes would do.Well yeah there’s time but that’s kinda how it went down last year but not as late?

thanks for mentioning GW days -- woht pursuingJameer Nelson Jr. was at George Washington for 2 years and then Delaware for two. Has improved each season though, would be a good get as a grad transfer.
Think he has 2 years left with the COVID season.
Edit: also he averages over 20 ppg, but the bulk of his points come from driving to the rim and getting to the FT line, would be a perfect PG to bring in.
