Josiah Jordan-James returned to Tennessee.  Has started 87 games for Tennessee in the last four years.  Plays the 2 and 3 spot.  Have to think those minutes for Ledlum and Knecht both decrease.

That would leave them over-signed by 1. Interesting situation to follow.

Ant Wright speculating?

Many reports coming out that Oscar Thsiebwe is staying in the draft.

Would that take them down to 6 scholarship players?

No. They have seven confirmed; five freshmen,  and seldom-used sophomores Adou, and Onyeso. 

Three have decisions to make by midnight; Thsiebwe, Livingston, and Reeves.

There's more to life than NIL.  FAU has little/no NIL program.

Bad offseason for Missouri.

Of course, there's not guarantee that he wouldn't get drafted prior to a team offering that guarantee......

He is in Oklahoma City today visiting the Thunder.  Thunder own the 12, 37, and 50th picks.  Obviously Edey isn't going with the 12th pick and he's probably a better value pick at 50 than 37.

Doubt we’d push Mbako to a stretch 4 role if our pitch was centered around him being a wing. There will probably be 25 min a game for a reliable scorer off the bench. Kind of what we envisioned Bates doing last year.

Jalen Rucker (Army) enters the portal.  5'10" point guard, averaged 16.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.6 assists.  Shot 46/30/83 last year and 42/32/80 over three seniors, all starting.  First team All-Patriot League this year.

Mark Cuban should say yeah we will offer you that…just to help IU!

Love what Woody has been able to accomplish this off season. That said, it’s one season at a time in the current era of cbb.  You can go from hero to zero quickly!

I haven't seen him play but looking at his numbers there are a couple of things that confuse me:

1) Why he announced for the NBA draft in the first place

2) Why IU is a possibility for him at this point. He doesn't fill a need.

He absolutely fills a need for us.

He’s a ball handling two guard that facilitates and passes well, and is a perimeter shooter.

This may be our guy.

He's a guard? 247 and sports reference have him listed as a forward which is why I was confused.

Not gonna lie, I don’t care about his stats, love that kid. He could be a legit 6’8” PG if you wanted to use him that way. He’s got such great vision. He’s super creative in pick and roll. Exceptional instincts playing the passing lanes. 2 issues: 1) His shot is a little funky and he’s steaky from 3. Can make 5 straight then miss 10. 2) He’s built like a stick figure and adding 20-30 lbs doesn’t look at all likely. 

Saves typing on Sharavjamts. I’d take him without a thought. 
 

 

[Stuhoo 85,483]

He needs to gain 20 pounds, but he has great handles and great court vision.

He’s exactly what we don’t have with our current 12 players.

Ernest Udeh (Kansas, casualty of Dickinson signing) commits to TCU.

I hope Udeh tears it up and Dickinson sucks
