Early on in the process here’s some guys we’ve had contact with in the past or guys I think might be worth a look. If Marek, Sidibe, JBA and Braswell are gone, and we lose Quincy (our only beef) we need to add some size to this roster. Jesse and Frank have promise but we need some muscle somewhere. Here’s an early list...
Centers
Qudus Wahab -Georgetown Aidan Igiehon -Louisville Ejike Obinna -Vandy Ira Lee -Arizona
Forwards
Dimon Carrigan -FIU Kevin Marfo TxAM Earl Timberlake-Miami Christian Brown -Georgia Jimmy Boeheim -Cornell Tari Eason -Cincy Jayden Gardner -ECU (really like this kid and our connection with ECU and Elijah Hughes could perhaps help here?

Would he come WITH Symir? That'd be a great package deal.

Haha. Such a sad commentary, but true.
Rak was the last one we had, and I think we probably hampered his development more than helped it.

We just have a bunch of factors against us right now in trying to land some decent dudes. We let our best (only) PG walk. We play All-Zone. We have an old coach who sometimes trashes players to the media. It’s hard to get good transfers anyways. We’ve had decent luck with them lately so hopefully that continues.

I do think Jimmy can bring value for us. But it is as a reliable shooter and smart player off the bench for 18 minutes, not the 33 mpg his dad has in mind.

Almost all the players we have could provide value if in better roles and fewer minutes. As we know, we haven’t been landing the better and elite prospects so they could be placed in those roles. I bet though that if we had a Tyler Herro-UK or a current Johnny Juzang on the team, Buddy would still be the one starting and that’s a problem.

I've been pretty negative, but a lot of these guys are great "value" pieces. It seems like they're all going to be assuming larger roles than they seem capable of assuming though. We shall see, but I'm nervous for next year just being a redux of what we've seen lately.

Just like all of you I'm shocked he didn't pick SU (sarcasm alert)

So outside of Symir and Cole who have we even offered in the portal? (Jimmy doesn’t count). Are JB and company sleeping at the wheel again? Watch us miss out on Cole too after our early confidence... smh

Watch us miss out on Cole too after our early confidence... smh My concern is that it is the lazy approach. Just going with players they recruited before who couldn’t cut it elsewhere. There are better players out there they should be targeting to really improve the roster.
