I Grossly Dislike Stating The Obvious, But ...

Juwan and Clifton to the rescue.

For instance, there's a team in the B1G that has:

• 6'10", 240
• 6'10", 220
• 6'9", 225
• 6'8", 230
• 6'7, 220
• 6'7", 225
• 6'6", 220

All on scholly. How are we gonna defend them?!?

Oh, wait...that's us. We'll be fine with the size we have, though if DeRon gets hurt we'd suffer for sure.

I guess ya never know, and if the staff has a personal relationship with him they know better than us, but he sure seems like a pain in the arse that's not worth the talent. Same with JaQuan Lyle.

OSU boards are saying it was grades and not trouble making. Given the circumstances I would take a flier on him.

Holtmann said that grades were the start of his off-court problems. Not the entirety of them. The press articles say he's a likable kid but with no self-discipline. Sounds kinda Troy Williams-ish, and that turned out as a net positive for us, but with many bumps in the road along the way.

I still have a bad taste from the last Funderburke from Ohio (yes, I know they're not related) we had on the roster.   I pass.

Yes! That's why we are all excited about the prospect of Lugentz Dort from Canada. Absolutely no bad precedent with that name combo.  ;)

Kinda where I'm at. I think it's worth the risk kid could be a very talented 4 year player for us and already has a year of quality coaching under his belt. 

A risk for sure but one worth taking.

Grad transfer possibility for *next* year

Mike Daum - South Dakota State 

He's already gotten on the map for deep hoop fans. He averaged 25.1ppg and 8.1 rpg. 51/42% from the floor (and those 3% #s are legit as he averaged almost 6 attempts per game. 87% at the line while averaged 8.25 FTA/game. All in a 6'9" 240lbs body. He will likely be eligible as a grad transfer next year and if he goes that route, that would possibly be the biggest recruiting battle we've seen yet in the grad transfer market, as he's a legit All American level player (might be one this year anyway). I think it's also possible that he's an NBA draft pick next spring, so who knows what path he might opt to take, but he's a name clearly worth paying attention to about 8 months from now.
