[IthacaMatt]

Gavin Doty 86% on high volume
Aiden Tobiason 80% on high volume
Garwey Dual 76% this year (63 and 66 prior years to your point)
Mark MM 75-80% in his last 2 seasons
Kiyan Anthony 63% (needs to be better)
Ryan Moesch ?

I’d say we are in pretty good shape here

Especially if we could add Cox from Colgate. Lots of good FT shooters on this team, but which ones will be handling the ball at the end of games?

Yeah who is going to be our go to ISO guy. Forbid we actually run offense and plays pretty much every time.

We need to add him and a solid scoring center and then we have something going

I would thoroughly enjoy a Cox/Dual backcourt.

 

[orangenauburn]

Would the backcourt nickname be swordfight?

At this point, I could care less if we get Freeman. Whatever happens, happens.

I will be upset if we lose Folefac. I have seen this kid play quite a bit, he is only a freshman and could provide solid minutes at the 4 and 5.

Yep, we need more MAAC level players and less high-major players.

He just reposted a story from another Auburn player who noted he was coming back… I’m guessing that’s a bad sign

Not something you want to see

I am not going to get worked up about anything until I see him commit elsewhere. Trying to read tea leaves with kids is too tough for me. If he goes home, we are probably still in it.

 

[CuseMan4]

Neeeeeed to add Freeman and Folefac at this point. They are needs. Cannot lose players like them

Really bad couple days for us at PG if we are being honest with ourselves and what is happening around the league and others teams. Lost out on a couple guys and heard that we were in the drivers seat the last day with Wilkins but Kentucky obviously got him.

Point blank. If we lose out on Freeman and Folefac, plus losing out on Wilkins….we are in trouble. Still need a PG. Really want to see us get involved with Cox from Colgate. He needs to be a target big time now. Cox and Dual at point. Tobiason, Anthony, MMM and Doty on the wings. Sadiq and Freeman as our starting bigs. I can get behind that. Still not the team I thought we’d be if we had all this money. But I do think it’s an improvement over the last couple of years. Neeeed to get back to the tourney

Fair enough- looked like he was in Vegas last night

While I love Vegas, what was he doing there?

Don't we have some WWE guys that could talk to him?

Josh Black and Quinn Ojinnaka

 

[djorange1989]

He left our campus, didn’t commit in the following day or two and has made other visits since, not a good thing right there

It's not, no sugarcoating. Unless the staff has already moved on when they brought in Siby and we are underestimating his role on next years team. They are likely still pushing very hard on this one. IMO, we are so damn close to having a well rounded competent roster on paper. Not there yet though. And time is starting to tick to get there.

 

[AckermanAve]

Josh Black and Quinn Ojinnaka

Adam Weitsman was there too (ducks for cover).

 

[AngryOtto]

Yep, we need more MAAC level players and less high-major players.

So these other mid major players going to other P4 programs are no good also?

Seeing Phish at the sphere, duh

Did you read the post I replied to?

Well, some of them probably aren't.

If they were in the running for Wilkins, without having signed a center yet, that leads me to believe they are still flush with cash. I’d like to go for upside with the FAU center. I’m sure he’s going to cost a lot because he’s a big, but I’d rather see them pay for his upside given that he’s young and a little more position versatile than freeman.
