I get it, it's pointless exercise
And how would that solve the problem?
We haven't stopped aiming high
I get what your saying and I would say Hima is out the door and Carey might be also, Mcleod has 1 more year so I think he stays but we at least have to give Patterson a break as he is redshirting this year I would have to bet we pull in another center through the portal hopefully we can dish out some NIL$
We got role players this year we didn’t spring for Edwards or Girard so far this year has been a boring thud we need an injection of life into this program. I love Red and Gmac….hopefully it happens next year but a lot of players should of been told bye bye this year
He was rumored to transfer to Duke last summer, why would he consider us? Everyone would be after him if he portals.
Beauty of NIL
I am curious how much NIL Cuse bball will have, especially with football seeming doing well (I don't follow football so not entirely sure). NIL numbers for bball players will increase and some of the top bball NIL budgets last summer have been $2M-$3M for basketball alone.
Then find a competent center and pay him…we have zero leadership on this team
I saw nothing to warrent Mcleod's return even as a backup. Would really want to trust him as a backup to an unknown quantity? You'll end up in the same situation as this year!
Curious as well. I know Villanova was reported as $3M.
Just curious (and admittedly, I know very little about Jonathan Beagle/UAlbany hoops), but why would any head coach, assistant coach, AD or fan actually want a player like this in your program?
I don’t really know anything about this particular player either. I think the point OP is trying to make is that we are better off aiming for fully developed big men at the mid major or lower level than backup centers at the power conferences that haven’t produced and are underweight compared to our peers. We appeared to focus more back in the day on developing centers to be defensive minded first and building muscle.

We need coaches and bags that can attract the best portal players available. I find these suggestions to mine the lower ranks disturbing.
I disagree. The coach is a jackarse and has had a few issues himself. He had one issue in which he was fired but the Albany black community protested until he was unfired. He had enough of the coach. I don't think this kid's character is an issue.
Sorry, that's called real life. There are jackarse's everywhere.
Literally forgot this dude existed ever. So many player movements these days it’s hard to track
That is too bad. Sorry to disappoint you. There are great players at the lower ranks. The NBA draft shows us that every year. Plus, these are kids we can win with.
Might want to go check and see who the best players are on Alabama and Tennessee along with a few other schools in the SEC.
Obviously he’s not a big man but Dalton Knecht is probably one of the players you’re talking about and i dont know how people here don’t realize this considering he cooked US. Like are people here not watching our own games even ?
