I need another fix man, I need another commitment. 

Yeah, today was boring.  They messed up and had all those guys commit all at once.  Should have spread it out.

He’s a slow Malik Reneau + 40 lbs.

I’ll leave this to CDD, but nothankyou 

Got to have some bangers if he can pass and play hard for CDD; I like this video he appears much more active than Malik.https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/44252400

Interesting. I never watched buckyball but get the impression it calls for very active players on both ends of the court. Does not seem like a MM thing but maybe Woody would not let him loose.

Mgbako playing Bucky Ball is crazy.  Hopefully Bucky can unlock something in him Woodson couldn't.

I have it on pretty good authority there’s no love lost between Mgbako and Woodson which I do think affected his effort especially toward the end of the year. I’m sure he sees A) a big bag, knowing college deals may be as good as it gets for him B) sees himself in a star role on a relatively long leash with a new coach in P5.

I figure Bucky is happy to take a lotto ticket on Mgbako in year 1. I think he will do better at his next stop like Gunn, Bates and Banks. Some of those guys were thought to have attitude / motor / selfish problems but have done just fine for themselves. Not saying he will be a world beater by any means for the record.

A&M has deep pockets so happy MBako got the bag for both him and Indiana. Unlimited potential we saw flashes early.

Bucky plays elaborate defenses and I think this is just odd. Mgbako, played on an incredibly talented aau team and had God given shooting chops, but he was not a very intelligent young man and had never been coached. Honestly, N. Florida would've been perfect. They were 353rd I think in team defense and got up a crazy amount of 3s. He could add 25ppg there.

A lot better defensively than Reneau.

That said, not sure how he still has any eligibility left.

I've felt like a Sherron would be a tremendous add to the staff and Singleton would be a great player to develop over the next 4 years. I know it's not likely, but imagine if he landed Singleton, Sisley and Mullins in his first year?

Bummed to miss Conwell but there are no shortage of efficient scoring 2s. Not a criticism of him but it’s who you get that matters, not who you miss

Didn’t know the name “Lamar Wilkerson” when I posted this but feel vindicated.

Sherron is right where he needs to be.

Sort of. Ish in that area, but I don't feel in big games he will be on the court that much. 

I stand by... "hes not a 3" though. I think with his frame he plays college basketball at like 6'8 220-230

I think you're about right. I'm sure the year at Montverde helped him physically. Oddly, he went there to get wing reps and they had to play him predominantly at the 5. He can defend mumtiple positions. I think he's a great connector player, in the way that OG is. I'm not saying for a second he's OG Anunoby but that's how I see him impacting games at a similar size.

Honestly as much as he's bashed here, I'd bet $1000 he does well at A&M. Woodson's complete lack of any perimeter schemes killed his play here, the guy's a good player, he'll do well.

Didn't TJD put up 75 on him in that road game? Felt like it anyway..
