I was listing different levels...somewhat in Jest, and somewhat because I know nothing about pro ball in Serbia, the league he is in, etc... Some highlights below from league play.

How does the top Serbian League translate skill wise when comparing to College basketball? MAC team, NAIA, D2?

Well glad that's settled haha. Also..are we still pursuing Brzovic or Lampkin if they get another year? Any further movement/news on Platteeuw?

Was Hawthorne on campus? Have taken several weeks off from the board...trying to get caught up.

I think what I saw is - the argument would be, COVID Year is free + another year that he only played 11 games with very little minutes and had injuries. Would try to get that year back. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

As a fan base we spent years complaining about our offense being driven through the post. I liked Federiko because he seemed to potentially provide a rim presence without needing touches on the offensive end, but also serviceable enough around the basket. Could Alexis not serve that role for us? Admittedly, have not watched much footage of him or know a ton about his game other than he has decent height at 6'8 and a big body at 240-250. What other high defensive impact bigs have been out there, that wouldn't expect a decent usage in the post on offense? I like the idea/strategy of a perimeter oriented roster make-up, with a defensive minded rim protector/rebounder/opportunistic scorer.

Didn't see that either...even with NIL, think that is a good sign regarding CDD and the vision he has for the team and these guys.

Just reading that Sam Alexis committed before even visiting? Slated for his official visit tomorrow and Thursday. Interesting.

Shot 46% from 3 on the road (2.5 makes / 5.4 attempts) 80%+ free throw shooter. Had a couple big number games, with a 32,27,28 three game stretch. I'm sure we could find a spot for him...haha

So at guard we are getting an elite passer (20th best assist rate in the country), a pest on defense (3rd best steal rate) with a strong body who can get to the rim and finish at a high clip (70th percentile finishing at the rim).... Sounds pretty good to me.

Where does he post the gifs now, his discord?

Looks to be deleted. What did it say?

We got him. Lets go!

Not a dig at you, I've just seen this posted a couple different times in different places. What makes people think that it's pretty clear he wants to go to UK? Why not commit on his visit to UK then? Seems like he is seeing the process through, taking visits, narrowed it down to two and will make a decision after discussing with his family. But...I have not been following this one closely.

Welp that was quick. I didn't even have a chance to watch his highlights haha.

They can have 7-8, if we can get the other 2-3 haha.

Thanks. But are we actually tied to any of those guys (Flory apparently visited/visiting)? I have seen them listed here, but is it confirmed we are actually pursuing, they have interest, visits, on any of their lists?

Alright guys...besides Freeman and Dix, who else are we actually in on right now? Anyone else out there listing interest? Are we still in on the San Francisco kid? Any Flory news? Rodney Rice visiting? UCLA Mack still in play?

Wonder if Payne will follow Buzz to Maryland.

There is lot of time left in the portal season. A lot of players still to enter and visit. Many more will turn us down, many more will commit. Winning the offseason hasn't gotten us anywhere as of late. I know its hard given the last 20+ years, but I'm willing to have some patience, see how the next couple weeks play out and give CDD a chance to get the guys that fit his system, regardless of where they are ranked on x,y,z site.

Saw a post on twitter stating Kaleb banks is down to UK, Purdue and Syracuse... But I am going to trust nothing that I see today on the interwebs.

So Norton and Adams joining. Cliff Marshall announced on his twitter he's not being retained. Will be interesting to see what happens with Jody and Calbert.

Different Adam Howard than the one that was on staff here under Woodson.

Specifically, Adidas, Indiana Elite and A-Hope Foundation. EDIT: Hadn't searched or looked it up in a long time, but I can no longer find an A-Hope website. Mark is still on the Indiana Elite website as Program Director. Funny enough, just saw that Alan Huss (current High Point Coach), used to be listed as the VP of A-Hope.

Wonder if we will we take a look / kick the tires with Kanon Catchings?
