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...

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
I'm taking a 5th year senior 7 footer over a dime a dozen 6'8 guy like Wilborn at the 5. We can find someone else like him for the last spot or in the future pretty easily.

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
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...

I/ll take him, like his low post footwork. Was watching the Houston Longwood tournament game the other day and he matched up pretty well with those guys.

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Man, our message board is incredibly negative. Have people forgotten that we have a starting center? And not just any center, but one who had a solid freshman year, better than many good A10 bigs in the past. A starting center, we should be excited about coming back in a world where a lot of young,...
