Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Ok so you don't think Lawerence and Bassy are upgrades. That's fine. I disagree. I think Zapala is as well. Lawrence is probably the best of the group, but if you want to look at it they got Lawrence and Bassy and lost Weston, Hammond, Luis and Montgomery. Hammond had big time potential and was som...

Saying "we don't have starter minutes" to me means, "we don't want anyone better than we already have." Depressing....I hope that's not the case... Sure, we may not "get" anyone better, but I'm thinking for the right player... there's starter minutes available. Saying ...

Our new coach Whitford in the last couple of days started following Mark Freeman and Tyree Ihenacho. Austin has recently followed Tana Kopa, Jailen Bedford and Sin'Cere McMahon.

I think it's more a comment that potential players aren't stupid.
