I saw this kid play for Link Academy a couple years back. He never met a shot he didn't like. It was borderline ridiculous, but I think he scored about 40 points in a loss to Brewster Academy and Purdue's Jacobson. His running mate was Tre Johnson now on the Wizards and Johnson was clearly the smarter / more mature player. Jasper was not trying much on defense.

I know his family has had a very negative experience with the UK fans, supposedly. And he didn't get much run for Pope this year. If he could be swayed into a Cadeau like reclamation project at a price that doesn't break the budget, I wouldn't hate the move, if the staff thinks they can address some of his deficiencies. The shooting stroke is pure.

What's the right situation for Karter Knox?

1) open system 2) a coach who understands that the cost of his good stuff, and there’s a lot, is that there will be plays that make you want to kill him. 3) an alpha PG who understands where and when not to feed him.

You’d think so, except all those Georgia kids start school at 5 and graduate at 17. He was really young when Ya offered him. I’ll bet he’s still 21.

Did he announce he is entering the portal?

Pretty sure the staff was involved with him before he committed to SHU. He played pretty well for Shaheen as a freshman. He'd be a great back up big guy for defense and rim protection. And we can definitely pay him considerably more than SHU without breaking the bank. I'd be excited for this one since this staff was involved previously. One to keep an eye on IMO

Re:  Najai Hines.  We kicked the tires but never offered.

Ok then, this is my boy. Was originally a ‘26 who classed up. Built like an offensive tackle. One of the hardest playing true 5’s you will ever see. Great feet. Has fantastic timing as a shot blocker. His post offense is still crude but his hands and his feet are so good that it’ll come. Sets giant screens. 
 

Forget 3mil centers, I want this kid right here.

Jamier James, Providence small forward, 6’6”.  Freshman.  Ranked 43rd in the class of 2025.  Averaged 11.9 pts and 4.5 reb

Sorry, a guy with IU interest either has to be too expensive or not good enough to play at IU.  There's no in-between.  At least that's what I have learned from the "Transfer Portal w/ IU interest" thread.

This portal stuff will drive you crazy. Remember what Coach Knight said about the obsession with recruiting all the reporting on it and following it-"It's just mental masturbation". With that being said let's dive in and see what you think of this of this potential portal haul. And yes forget the 3 mil centers!

Najai Hines-$1.5

Kwame Evans or Desean Goode-$2.0

Stefan Vaaks-$3.5

Jalen Haralson-$3.5

Markus Burton-$2.0

Daquan Davis-$.5

Finley Bizjack or Michael Cooper-$.5

been watching Vaugh Karvala and the Belle Vista team in the Chipolte Nationals and have been impressed with his 7'0" teammate Amadu Seini he had 15 points and 18 rebounds in todays game and is a presence inside. Just dug into him a little and see that North Carolina and Kansas are starting to show interest. I say sign him now and pair him with Hines in the middle.

Add this crew to Sisley and one pick any one holdover and the 3 freshmen and lets go.

Wow, yeah that kid would not get pushed around in the Big Ten. I went and did a quick little research on him. Nicknamed "Baby Shaq" and plays with a lot of force. In 11 games where he played 20+ mpg, he averaged 9.8 ppg, 8 rpg, and 3.3 bpg.

I also brought up Seini in the Karvala thread after watching one of their games a few weeks back. No clue why he's unranked (might be newer to the US not sure of his background) but spot on with a presence inside. Wouldn't mind having him at all as a big off the bench.
