If we have the money to pay… we have a nice chance. If we don’t… hello blue blood.

Got to make sure you have the funds for the starting 5

They need a difference maker at PG and he’s the best option. He even has the positional size GMac wants.

 

[35kcuse]

I think they have a real shot if they poney up like you said. A lot of schools that have interest in him can’t guarantee him a starting spot like we could…

Said it last week. Reiterate it. Barring some good shakeup at UConn, they aren’t quite in the situation financially or in available minutes. Kentucky has reached out to every kid in the portal. There is a real chance here.

Depends on where that might position us a the 5 too…

Staff was working hard on getting Tobiason done. Expect to hear some more news relating to next PG and center soon.

Plus, if we have donors on the fence it's a much different conversation when you have a specific guy considered a top 5 high school player and Gerry can say "get me another $X and we can get this done."

Yes it’s strange, Essandoko was a name online. But as others have said, completely crickets on the 5.

Yeah that name seems bogus and would be out of character for what we’ve been up to so far honestly. Unless they want him as a third C on the cheap..

I think I got this thread and the Mingo thread mixed up.

If Mullins leaves I’d have to think Wilkins is where they turn …. If Mullins stays well I can’t see minutes or money for Wilkins there …

I have a hard time seeing Mullins walk away fro
5 million dollars and a chance at a natty

Well, they are losing Reed and Karaban.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Kansas, Kentucky, UConn and Alabama seem to each be involved with tons of guards. Syracuse appears to be hyper focused on a few. Hope they can close here.

 

[35kcuse]

Mingo would slide in front of Wilkins in terms of priority for UConn.

I guess my point is that if we have the money (which is a huge if), we can position ourselves to close it quickly.

UConn, Kentucky, etc aren’t prioritizing him right now. Alabama would probably be toughest competitor.

Why would dual come here then if we want him?

 

[granthath9]

Hurley will replenish.

 

[Orangezoo]

Dual didn’t start the whole season and isn’t coming in having played huge minutes and that’s at McNeese. Sharing the workload at the 1 or coming off the bench shouldn’t be an issue for Dual..

This right here is what we call a little drop of dopamine.

I hope you’re right. Would be a nice duo at point with these 2.

 

[orangefog]

Hurley will replenish.

he's unlikely to replace Luke Murray, with someone as good, though

That’s very true. Might have a little bit tougher time on the recruiting side. Offense as well.

He will be back

 

[OptimusOtto]

Why would dual come here then if we want him?

Maybe Dual was pitched a “ be a star in your role” as a super 6th man / defensive stopper that will play 20-25 mpg between 1-3.

We can hope.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Just my opinion but I feel like from reading the tea leaves that this is the guy we are probably targeting. I dont see Mingo being in play...guess we'll find out soon enough.
