Class of 2020 G Nate Kingz (OR) Portal from Oregon St

[littlereg]

I don’t know what we may end up with, but you might have to take what you can get. Wagner‘s a combo guard and he would be a lot better than anything we’ve had.

I would rather Claude but I’d really prefer none of the 3 and getting PG that can shoot but doesn’t seem likely at this rate so based on what we know I’d go Claude.

 

[Wrinkle]

We're getting both Kingz and Claude

Prediction or guess

 

[2B20Again]

I think they’re trying really hard to get the most talented and best fit for what we need. They’ve put a lot of feelers out on point guards and combo guards.

So far nothing that is relevant to what we need. We have all the high20% low 30% 3pt shooters we need. K. Anthony good shooter but so was Choppa. Tough for freshman to get used to size and speed. Need at least 2 40% is 3 Pt shooters probably wing and PG

How is Kingz not relevant? Some people on this board have lost their minds acting like we have our pick of perfect players.

I heard we only have enough money to sign Cooper Flagg, that new skinny assistant AD from Davidson, and whichever of our incoming frehlshmen's parents happens to be the best badketball player. Total failure of a transfer window.

Keep this in mind, all ye that are convinced there's no point in recruiting high school players.

There's no guarantee that you will get exactly what you want out of the portal. It's not like coaches get a grocery cart, roll through the portal throwing dudes in it that they have on their shopping list, and head to checkout.

In at least some cases if there's a kind of player or set of skills you want, you'll probably have to recruit and build that talent. Now you just also have to be able to sell the vision a lot stronger than just the player's first year.

I suspect you haven’t watched Kingz video. He seems to be a really dynamic offensive player who isn’t a ball hog. Scored 12 ppg on only 8 shots per game. Needless to say, that’s insanely efficient.

 

[OrangeinNH]

What’s the word on Nick Boyd from SDSU? I know he was mentioned briefly in some threads, and seems like he would be a great fit as a PG who is long enough to defend. Is he in too high demand? 40% 3pt shooter on milder volume his first two years, and mid-30’s on higher volume last 2 years. Maybe we’re just not in the mix? I would prefer him to any others mentioned and think he would complete our guard rotation nicely.

Sorry if info has been shared on his recruitment that I haven’t come across.

He would be a great fit and he’s from downstate. Not much has been said about him or what schools are interested.

Looks like he’s visiting UNC

They need a point guard.

Kingz shot 44.6% from three point range this season.

Not referring to Kings. Love kings. Speaking to mostly guards with low D ratings and poor 3pt %. Just going by what I’ve read. I saw one good defender at G no everyone shooters and PG’s mentioned had lots of warts. Didn’t mean to imply SU would get 4 5star players but after this past season need to buy up. All just opinion on my part, again no expert. Everyone saw what Easy Bargain Center spending produced. Statements have been made saying SU has the funding. Just hoping to see it.

Kingz 100%. I was speaking of guards with very unimpressive stats. Again KingZ great.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Maybe Oregon St. assistant Stevie Thompson puts in a good word for us here. No real connection to Red, who came to SU the year after Stevie graduated, but I’m sure they met each other during visits.

What’s up with the Oregon St court having WCC and PAC 12 logos?

Temp membership in the WCC for 2024-25.

They're getting the PAC back together for 2025-26.

 

[Cusefan69]

So this player at this early stage seems like a critical get. You can at least start to envision some things next year in a positive way with this guys "game " as part of the mix. Do we feel optimistic board insiders or more 50/50 at this point for this guy?

Who knows how reliable?

He reads this board… We all know how reliable dasher is when he makes a hint.

After last portal season, I resolved to never watch video of a guy we were “supposed” to get.

I guess I trust dasher enough, cause I watched Kingz’ video.

This guy trusts him enough to tweet it. We all pay homage in our own way.

Can you really trust a Mets fan?

Tread lightly. We’re a hardened bunch.
