I think we’re all on edge because after yet another tourney-less season, we lost our best player to a league rival and have yet to land a PG. However IF we land a solid PG, I will feel like we have upgraded the roster and will feel like we should be better next season. A lot is riding on this one roster spot. Land a PG and I think we’ve got a nice balance of depth, experience, size, shooting, and athleticism. Certianly lots of “Ifs” that have to break right to have the season we all want and need, but I feel like far more potential answers than in the past few years. If we’re bringing Moore, Cuffe, Westry, Davis, and McCleod off the bench - we’re in a lot better shape than when we were starting Justin Taylor, playing Maliq 40 mpg at center, and bringing 2 playable guys off the bench last year.

I read that Jaquan Carlos recently visited under the radar and is following the entire team. Hmm 🤔
Writing is on the wall, it looks like?

Erik Reynolds is staying at St Joes. Bummer.

Carlos committed. Beat our Bonaventure for a recruit! Nice!
Feels like I'm rooting for the football team.

I guess all of you Leffew haters can breath a sigh of relief. I didn't want either, if these are the options then my initial thoughts are Red isn't the guy. This screams middle of the pack. I hope I'm wrong.

This screams middle of the pack. I hope I'm wrong. These reeks the 2021 offseason all over again. We're losing proven guys and replacing them with honorable mention Mid Major players and a "sure thing" freshman. It's the old "is what it is". Obviously we can't afford to be a player in CBB right now so we'll have to hope to hit bubble.

Only positive is Carlos is a 2x all defensive player in the CAA. But this isn’t a move for anything more than depth. I am okay with depth as I have said having a bench allows to sit players who are off during games and have quality who can replace them. We are just one impact player away from being a safe NCAAT team. Carlos can supplement Starling when he can’t guard a cone.

With a DBPR and STL % lower than Judah. And he's 5 foot nothing. Listen, I love that he's a passer. But the defensive stuff is smoke and mirrors. I'm sure he tries hard, but the metrics would show the effort actually converts into stats. Jose Alvardo who he was compared to. Averaged a 3.6 STL% with a DPM of 3. In the ACC.

Jaquan Carlos…. Meh. I hope it works out this year or it’s going to start getting pretty ugly for Red. We need him to be better than Gillon was to have a chance next season.

Assuming he is the backup and we land Dakota. I'd say we did a very nice job in the portal.
