His post says Bronx NY but his 247 profile says VA so I went with VA lol.

 

[cuseallday]

Nice! His high school is No. 1 in the country in the latest MaxPreps rankings.

Impossible, it’s never been done before

If he can play man, he’s not a get!

Oh we're gonna need players.

 

[Cuse4455]

I watched his junior year highlights and wasn't impressed, his senior year highlights look Night and Day better. Late bloomer.

My guess 4 to 5 guys hit the portal and 3 graduate. Maybe Joe sticks around for a 5th year. We will need portal players. 5 to 7 my guess.

Don’t count on Joe. That’s why they appear interested in Rivera.

I can see replacing Joe with JJ Starling. To get a freshman three star to replace Joe is completely unacceptable and the reason why we have been so awful the last nine years. Are we trying to win or are we just trying to appease the average players already in the program?

I could see his rankings climb. He's averaging about 15 points per game for the No. 1 team in the country, according to MaxPreps.

In the country?? I thought that was Montverde.

Starling has been nothing but a driver this year. His perimeter shooting has been poor, as well as his foul shooting. Part of ND’s problem is they have no point guard, so don’t expect him to be able to replace Judah either.

LMAO at 4-5 guys hitting the portal. Of all years to transfer, this wouldn't be it. The playing time is up for grabs next year. Are they dropping down to a G6 program?

Yeah, MaxPreps has a top 25 for public high schools and prep teams that compete for state-affiliated titles. Then it has a top 10 for independent basketball academies and prep teams that don't compete for state-affiliated titles, like Montverde, Link, IMG, etc. In ESPN's top 25, which includes all teams, John Marshall was No. 11 last week, FYI.

I see at least two transfers and maybe 4 transfers. Judah and JBA, dependent on what they actually do, could be considered transfers. JBA has already put his name in the portal once before.​

Going to need a bigger class than one project center.​

Nah. The HS crootin' class (or lack thereof) is nearly irrelevant at this time.

The HC (whom I hope isn't JAB or a former asst) is gonna have to Pound The Portal.

And given that JAB has never really embraced doing that, I'm not sure how anybody who wants him to remain, thinks we're gonna get this turned around under his watch.

While I agree Quadir is a guard, all of his minutes I think have come at forward.

I really don't want to see Bell transfer. Maybe there's stuff behind the scenes, but it seemed like he responded well to coaching. And we put a lot of starts and minutes into the guy. To potentially flush that all now is just... not good.

I've been a Bell apologist in part because I've accepted growing pains for later greater returns. If those returns come off the table, woof.

board source. If I were to guess, I'd say it's probably the least likely outcome of NBA/Pro, staying, or transfer.

Which I understand, but that DNP against Pitt is indicative of something else. The kid didn't even take his warmups off in the first half.
