Would he be slotted in to start, or is the plan to be the backup C?

I would hope not a starter. Our targets thus far are very concerning.

Agreed

They aren't. You just don't know all of them.

I also know we were interested in a pt guard last year that shot only 17% from 3. The horror. His name was K Richmond.

So true. Not everything is instantaneously published on the internet.

Hey everyone complained about our missed FTs this season. That's why I brought that up lol.

We are casting a very wide net. That is for sure.

Cuse received a mention in this article.

He's a rim runner that blocks shots and dunks everything. He’s more athletic than anyone on our team. I have no idea if he can help us, but it’s not because he’s not athletic.

In case anyone else besides me is wondering what a rim runner is, here you go...

I don’t care who they are as long as their height doesn’t start with a 5’.

As long as when we pull the net in, we have some trophies on the boat!

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

Seems like Syracuse is involved with UNLV PG Dedan Thomas, excellent player but he’s getting expensive apparently.

Something about this post and the fact that Red and staff have kept recruiting tight lipped has me excited that the first time we hear of us reaching out to a great player is when they commit.

Yup hence the “thus far”. I would hope I don’t know all of them based on the names mentioned so far. People react to information they have at hand that’s it.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Not surprised from what I was hearing.

I just watched his tape. He’s really a solid player. He would balance the floor being a lefty. Shoots it well, shows a really good midrange, can finish and find people. I thought Kentucky was involved with New Mexico’s Dent too. They can’t get both of them. If we’re involved, that’s a good thing.

Some of these kids are shopping themselves around to maximize their earnings to see if someone bites early. The smart play may be to sit back and wait for prices to normalize.

As I would hope. Leave no stone unturned.

I was thinking the same, but hopefully they have prioritized their targets. Cuse is not Duke or another Blue Blood, but hopefully can compete moneywise with the SEC. Otherwise average pay equals average talent. Why settle for a 3rd or 4th round draft pick when the program needs 1st rounders to get back dancing.

I think we really need to make a splash portal get. This program needs a jolt of energy and hope. There’s a lot of good players out there. We just need to get the right ones. We need major upgrades in athleticism and skill.
