Sounds like Woodson may not want to stagger those minutes or have Mgbako at the 4 any more than he has to. Hope he’s more flexible than that, but I guess we’ll see soon enough.

Thought I read somewhere that Ohio State was after Hatton too fwiw

I haven’t seen Georgetown play in years but in general I’d prefer an underclassman for a backup big instead of having to add 2 new bigs again a year from now.

Would Ryan Mutombo be a possibility? Apparently transferring from Georgetown, originally from Ya’s Atlanta area fwiw. I assume he’s related to Dikembe M.

He’s one I’ve wondered about, along with the Reeves kid (Duke iirc)

Some would but they might well be guys the staff thinks won’t ever develop into legit B1G 10 starters anyway

I’d prefer an underclass man big who potentially could start in 2025-26 but maybe the staff doesn’t like any of those guys currently in the portal?

Does VCU also have a 6’ 11” guy in the portal? Wheeler iirc

Lot more playing time there I’d assume CU is a strange program: not much success nationally, but every time I look up they’ve got 1 or 2 players in the NBA lottery

Realistically maybe they could make a run at one of the other post players like the guys from Creighton, USC or Nevada. Or maybe the guy from (iirc) Weber State.

Allegedly Scheyer wants a more experienced lineup to surround Cooper Flagg with next season and he isn’t that concerned about some of the guys he’s losing. I guess we’ll see how that plays out. Gotta be a big adjustment for programs like Duke, Kentucky and Kansas now that everyone can buy players.

I brought up his name the other day-from Yorkville IL iirc basically a bigger, more athletic version of Essegian

I thought Kansas might go after him but I guess they just got Storr, so maybe not

Any chance they might get in touch with Jaden Schutt? Duke shooting guard from Chicago area now in portal

This is why Malone intrigues me—he might have some of Essegian’s shooting plus more size and rebounding sounds like there’s a pretty good market for him though
