I wonder if the sharpshooter's name rhymes with 

Ophelian Momishomeabunch

I think our bag is about empty so maybe his long lost cousin from another mother or something like that. I’m thinking someone more like Magnus Pelkoski.

Baba miller back in the portal.  I like his game, but I don’t think we can look at this level of player unless our pitch is different. 

Needs a waiver i think

Are They gonna grandfather This 5 years of eligibility and screw an entire class of players?  
 

Would be a nightmare and schools deserve more warning if so. 

Can you imagine if that happened and we brought Lamar back with this current team?

Yeah, we've barely recovered from the whole COVID year fiasco... would be déjà vu all over again.

Are we gonna get any news at 5 o’clock today?

A couple of thoughts on back up center:

Musa Sagnia, NC State.  Entered today. 2.3 points, 2.8 rebounds in 12.4 minutes

Jeremy Foumena, UCF.  3.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12.9 minutes.

Both of these players were bench centers in power 5 schools and their fit would be similar to what we would be asking from them.

I believe the previous staff kicked the tires on Foumena. Canadian kid, I think, though the memory isn’t what it used to be.

I'd take a Mandeville. The senior version.

Yes so would I, but it sounds like we’re done for now Rabby said.

So, we’re not filling the last 2 spots?

It sounds like for now we’re going to keep them in our back pocket for a rainy day.

Just to note, we actually have 5 roster spots available. No way in hell we use them all, but the ncaa expanded from 13 to 15 scholarships last year. Still hope we use 2-3 more though

You haven’t lost all your brain cells yet.  U R correct on Foumena

Surely we have to be adding at least another big.

Seems like that could come back to haunt us if we get the injury bug…seems like it’s been a great strategy so far but passing out before the finish line?

You would think we have to at least be adding another big and wing.  Wouldn't think we can roll with those two bigs if we get in foul trouble then what?

Agreed. I like keeping a spot or maybe 2 open to fill with Euro or something else. Defintely need a playable big.  I think Moody needs to play some. But fill the roster and let the cream rise to the top. Transfer rate is always gonna be high no matter what. Don’t handicap yourself.

And Yigi is an absolute fouling machine.

Just in case of injuries I think we would have to.

0 shot we are rolling with 10 guys. We just signed 6 players in a week and have the core of the team in place. Have to look for quality depth now, so probably nothing imminent will be announced. IMO that's all that's going on.
