Woodson is stuck in 2008. 

And I'm 2000 & Late.

Ballo coming here would be a big win.

I hate the 2 big, clog the lane, line up as much as anybody, but if we're going to run it; you have to get a guy like Ballo in the portal. Would be a tremendous pick up for Woodson's system.

The more I think about it the more I think it would be worse than last year. At least last season Ware could step out and hit a 3 or jumper. Ballo can't do anything other than clog the paint. Hard pass for me, also because he would demand a huge NIL deal. Let another team empty their NIL on him not us

Sounds like he will take 5 visits including North Carolina so lots of competition. My guess is he will want top dollar.

Only way I see this working is if MR becomes more confident and consistant outside. If MR can be a stretch 4 this would work. I would prefer Ballo over Payne because he is a better rebounder and that is where we have struggled in the past.

What are you talking about Chris? This is Woodson's dream. We don't shoot the 3 point basketball here!

Which I think can happen, just not sure it will. I do think Reneau and Mgbako will rebound better next season. That's why I don't think we need to add another big

[Chris007 44,066]

I think this is the best news for us today.

He's this years Dalton Knecht to me, just not quite as athletic

I guess I  just don't see it.  Knecht was a 20 and 7 guy with much better handles than Humrichous is a guy that is one year removed from being a guy who didn't even dominate at the NAIA level.  He wasn't even named to even the third All-MVC team.  From what I've seen, I love his ability to shoot but he's got holes his game.  Not a good defender and a horrible rebounder, particularly for his size.  Would I take him at IU?  Yes, because he's a big who can't shoot.  But he's not a must have and I can't put him at the top of a transfer list.

Woodson is stuck in his Tyson Chandler and Amar'e Stoudemire day and Mgbako is his Melo

Yeah if I'm not mistaken he was down to Florida and Auburn. If rumors are true his grades aren't good enough to get into Florida.

Yes, I believe so.  Article I had read once their point guards left had only mentioned two guys -- Pegues and Rice, and Pegues was the main target.

I'm not going to fault you. Sometimes people just don't see it. I see things others don't a lot of times. It's a gift.

Or I'm wrong and you will remind me of that in 8 months :-)
