I sure hope something is in the works...the silence is defining...Alexis would be awesome and make sense if 5/5 is granted

Which leads me to wonder why we are always fussing about where player minutes are going to come from? Most kids these days don't have the drive to play extended minutes night in and night out, especially in the Big. We should have a quality back up for each of our bigs.

I wouldn't mind an Allen Graves as a late addition either.

Wong again, Wang is better! :)

Yeah, I can see we are prob done for this season. Hopefully we have a break out Frosh or two.

Is there any proven production players left in the portal that we could possibly afford/add?

Lol

If you look at his highlights, he hits every 3 he puts up. But yes, that would be best case..

Maybe he comes in and lights it up like that kid from Nebraska a few years back..one can hope!

From the highlights he looks to be very crafty & great body control for a big.

The only ones from last year to add would be Wilkerson/Alexis and LW would be highest paid and a descent raise for SA, so not sure how that works with money already spent.

It needs to create chaos and confusion or the NCAA won't do it

Thats crazy..lol..would not of thought that for them. I guess I’m just impatient:{

You can wait and you can also wait too long. Just seems like with all the tape they’ve been studying for quite some time now that zeroing in on your target, getting in and getting out of the portal would be a really good thing. i’m sure that’s why I don’t get paid the big bucks but at the same time we’re talking about a fan base who is used to getting burned. :(

Very well could be, but I’d rather like to think with our new GM etc., that we would’ve targeted exactly who we want and get them signed.

Definitely not to take anything away from the staff for sure up to this point I think they’ve done pretty darn good but you just want to see them finish the race. If the $20 million spent on this roster so far is accurate then it would be great to see them spend enough on the last three players so that this team can make a deep run in the tournament next year. The longer it goes on that we don’t sign those last three player the more chances are that the quality is going to go really far down. I hope not and I hope they have a secret plan in place and will surprise us all.

So a stacked Louisville can afford him, but we can’t? The kid plays hard. We should’ve scooped him up.

We add Christian Reeves, Josiah Parker and Yak Yak and we are in the NC..book it!

It's to hard to quote a post here and respond to it over there..haha

Yeah, I agree about those 2 but Manhertz prob needs a year to put on some muscle and adjust. I'm mainly worried about the Bigs and Yig foul trouble plus the fact that we are injury prone. All I would like to see is one or two developmental bigs that actually have some obvious upside like say (Josiah Parker) not him as a depth Big, but with his level of ability. I think that is doable with the time we have left to sell.. IMO

I would love another Sam Alexis!

Of course, my point was we still need quality depth in the last 3 signings. Just hoping we can add playable players that production doesn't fall off a cliff when they sub in.

These last three players that get signed to fill out the roster I think is going to be crucial to the success of this team this year. I don’t really look at them as end of the bench pieces. I think our freshman class coming in will be that. These next three players need to be very good rotational pieces as we all know the big10 season is a grind and if we go dumpster diving, we’re in trouble.

Would be nice to hear some juicy rumors or something....why does this staff have to be so tight lipped? :{

I may go snoop around on my way home and see if there is any action!
