I am in but I am not reading or listening to anybody telling us how good of shape we’re in, etc.
If he commits, I’ll get excited.

Seems it’ll never happen, but maybe start him over Bell…..

And also that means we could have started a frontcourt of Donnie/Maliq/Lampkin if Red was going to bail on Bell anyway. But I don't think Red would move away from either of Bell or JJ.

If we were serious about trying to win championships, figure out a way to get more NIL this year, start this Evans kid on the wing, get Kadary at PG, and pay Bell enough that he commits to being 6th man for one year (Evans is a 5th year). I'm in fantasy land even thinking about it -- but that's what a big boy program would do.

Seems to be a fair amount of traction with Ken Evans on the other board, and a bit of hype/push, something we don’t normally see unless there’s something there. Otherwise the Nazi’s that run the board steer fans away from a player… he’s a “hybrid” sound familiar? 😉
I’m actually pretty high on Evans. I’m totally down with bringing him.

The other board indicates that we have reached out and likely offered Evans. AND all the players and coaches are following him just like before Carlos committed. Color me impressed.

My only concern is whether or not JJ or Carlos can be a full time point guard. The fact that the bigs are better passers will help to alleviate this some. With our financial handicap this is probably as good as Red can do. Whether it translates to winning basketball and at least a sweet 16 remains to be seen. I want SU to be relevant again. At least Red is offering more than just guys we had previous ties with unlike JB. Cautiously optimistic.

I watched some of his games on YouTube and he isn’t what I would want. He plays like Mintz or Starling. We need bodies so I am okay with getting him but this team needs more defensive and pass first type of guards then shot hunting high usage guards.
Again not beat a dead horse but find more players like Carlos who are PGs than combo guards.
We are just trying to be a bubble team I get but I feel this season is going to be frustrating unless Freeman is a lot better than I think he will be next year.
Chris Bell and JJ Starling need a defensive guard on the floor so teams don’t abuse us on defense. PnRs, cutting guards, motion are vulnerable with Starling and Bell. Mintz was more interested in going for steals and just being lazy than being a natural bad defender like the other 2.

If he’s healthy, we should be good. If he’s not, we could have another rough year.
