He would've started for us this year. Leading shot blocker in the country. He's a 20 mpg guy.

Kyle Evans has impressive numbers. 2.4 offensive rebounds and 3.3 blocks in 28 minutes. 8 shots a game 62%, 77% ft shooter. I'll have to watch some video in a bit.

I think it would feel like wearing worn out shoes with a new suit. Last year felt thrown together and random. This year feels calculated and serious. I appreciate those players, however....

Interesting about Sherrell's measurables https://www.tuscaloosanews.com/story/sports/college/sec/2025/03/30/alabama-basketball-big-man-aiden-sherrell-clears-the-air-about-height/82730972007/

Franck Kepnang??? I mentioned him what seems like weeks ago.

Tavian Banks anyone?

Perhaps there's still a one shot one kill load of money we can get for a "special Yaxelish difference maker" and we're playing the waiting game.

Using the old number system, the portal got us 4 players to cover 1-3. Then you have the freshmen. A lot of buzz around Karvala. Lindsey can play the 1 or 2. Moody can get some time. Then there's the bigs. I think they'll play 15 minutes a game together. We'll play some small ball 4 out half the game. Trent is the key here. I think another big is inevitable though. That would be 11 players. See who all drops out of the draft. That's where Dusty changed everything.

I'd take a Mandeville. The senior version.

Two years ago when we started doing this I'd jot down Fr and so. that were people I thought would be good fits assuming that some amount of them would be available. I've kept doing it especially post covid with bigs and pgs. Baba has been on all of lists but always as a 3rd big in a 2 big offense. He's a great athlete, but a very situational body type for the big ten. I think he will struggle to get a waiver. He could come in and provide rim protection and get up and down the floor for us. I even Thought Pryor from Louisville if he could give us a full year. Still thinking we're trying to elbow our way into the high end euro market. More like wishful thinking. Haven't heard a peep about Suigo.

Baba is in, looking for a waiver. That would be exceptional in 3 man 80 minute big rotation.

Drew Fielder would be a nice stretch big add. I would still like Khamenia. Oddly both are trending toward UCONN.

This other versatile larger person we could use. Will we have him when I get back from the bathroom.

Man, I fell asleep, and Bryce Lindsey? Is someone making a statement " No mid-majors! " seems like it.

I think we have one more up our sleeve that could push Harris or Mustaf to 6th man. If we don't and fill out the roster smartly, We still have to be pre-season top 25. Someone that can give us 15mpg at point is point of emphasis. A combo guy, which I think someone mentioned. Brumbaugh fits that description. Dude shot 7.3 fts a game, he can get down hill. Mikka would be the icing on the cake right now. He can play the 4 and some 3.

Who's our big man coach?

I think Carr has another shocker in him. Anyone remember who reported the Sherrell offer on here a week before the portal opened?

Well,,, Bummer, but you are correct sir. Brumbaugh Scharnowski Hall

My driverside canine tooth was still a baby tooth and I'm 55. I just had it pulled about the time he committed. Son of a B. Getting a good big was literally like pull teeth for me. OK, Leave 13 open Luigi Suigo Khamenia Stink Robinson

Thank you Chris, I'm in the dentist office. I'm in my feelings a little.

Was Samet our pivot away from Sherrell? Feels like we are in a bidding war maybe. Is MSU back in?

Good morning my friends. Today the talking heads of the internet are all going to have to eat a big giant bag of D"s. We're shaking up the world of college basketball. Because we deserve this. We've been through hell for too long. We've fought amongst ourselves We've tolerated administrative malfeasance, we've been tortured by stupidity. C'mon Aiden. Bring it all together. Preferably before me dentist appointment.

Where our GM has an advantage is being able to map the agencies that rep these guys and contact them at any time. It's legal tampering. I would say Coach's familiarity with that part of it was lacking. In the end Coach has to close the deal. So it probably looks a little bit like an NFL war room somewhere in that building. I'm not so sure he's in the trenches much though. Nor should he be.

Watching The Turkish Towers highlights. From his frosh to soph year a nice jump. He keeps it simple. A surprisingly good feel for the game. He knows how to set up early, get behind his man and drive him up the lane for position. Soft baby hook with the right. The counter back to the left looks slow and deliberate. He runs the floor well for 7'2 270. He tries to jam everything. Has some nasty to him. Good day in the portal. It's what we deserve.

You're both right. He knew he was f'd 2 weeks into the job and got what he could. He did begin talks with GM Carr not long after that. So I have to respect him knowing he would need help with a level of talent he was unaccustomed to. Then he squeezed 9 conference wins out of that dumpster fire. That's the worst roster we've had since Jordan Hulls was a sophomore. 20 years? I appreciate the effort Tucker gave that last 5 games. He did all he could do. Sherrell, Reibe, Khamenia, and a back-up point. I feel it.
