2024-25 Portal

Really feeling way better about our portal additions. After seeing UK’s radio guy tweet that he thinks they have a top 5-8 roster after getting Aberdeen from Florida. I looked at their additions and not really impressed. They got Lowe at PG from Pitt, I think George is better. They got Quantance from Arizona St who will be coming off a torn ACL so who knows how that may affect him. Dioubate from Bama and Kam Williams from Tulane to round it out.

Of course they have a huge advantage with Mark Pope being a great coach. Getting these guys to their potential. But my point stands I think our additions can stand up to some of the top teams. Not to mention we have JJ and Freeman coming back.

Even when you say something positive, you still have to take a jab at Red.

We recruited Ian Jackson hard in HS. Went to UNC. Now Pitino lands him in the portal. The kind of guys you need to win if you want to play with the big boys. Slick Rick does it again. Jealous.

It’s not taking a jab. It’s stating the obvious. I don’t feel confident yet that he can coach our guys up to their potential. I hope to be proven wrong this coming season. I’m finally starting to see some light here give me a break. Not everyone is a born optimist.

I didn't take it as a jab, FWIW and generally agree with what you said. Not sure why people are triggered by stating the obvious.
 
Maybe a possibility if he gets another year and Deng doesn't happen. Seems to fit the profile of what they want.

Some people on this board are fixated with negatives about Autry. He's so bad that 4 stars Kiyan Anthony and Sadiq White wanted to attend SU this year and our top two players from last year elected to stay. Everyone complained about JB's outdated zone defense which was a negative in our recruiting. We get a coach that is moving SU away from the zone, thus resulting in improved recruiting.

Miserable season, but the players on the court were sub standard and with a subpar NIL we were handcuffed in who we could bring in. Red needs to get better players in the portal which it looks like he has done, and then show that he can coach with a more quality team on the court. Didn't SU sin 20 games his first season but I guess he forgot how to coach after that.
 
i dont understnd the logic of going after another 6 8 guy when you hvae 4 of them on your roster already but have no one taller than that...why not go for some actual height a la 7ftrs?

forwards and guards are set...its center that is the question mark

You think those guys are coming here cause Red is a good coach. Oh boy.

I don’t try to fixate on Red’s negatives but show me some positives to look forward to after last season.

Relying on better players to fix your coaching is like putting lipstick on a pig.
