Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
I think it's more a comment that potential players aren't stupid. They can read a roster as well as any of us, and if there are four guys playing 20+ minutes from last year's team still on the roster, plus Lawrence coming in, then they're probably not going to commit unless they don't have better o...

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
We're not talking about a project in Zapala. We're talking about a 5th year senior. C'mon. I would have loved Wilborn. I think he's going to be a great player. I think he's a better player than Zapala. But I don't understand why you think this kid is terrible. He's definitely not a project. Talking...

I still think Traore may end up surprising some people and be a bigger addition than it seems right now. I'm not saying he will put up huge numbers, but I think he is the exact type of player we have been missing the last couple years. A "does the little things" type guy that plays hard a...

A starting center, we should be excited about coming back in a world where a lot of young,...
