Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Do tweets like this help? They're a little weird if you ask me, since the recruit has no idea about this multi-personality fan of ours. And there have been a few like this. https://x.com/BlockIslRalph/status/1789398623349784601 I feel more confident in Block Island Ralph closing the deal than Austin.

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
This is a guy who couldn't get off the bench for Utah State for 3 years, transferred to Longwwod and played 16 minutes per game. I guess we just need a big body, but he does nothing for me. That's the best we can do? I can't even bring myself to feign excitement at this potential commitment. 1.2 PP...

I know Pepperdine is a dead end job but this is the best they could do? A re-tread who hasn't been a head coach in 20 years and was below .500 at Wright State between 1997-2003. There had to be some young plucky assistant coach eager to climb the ranks as opposed to a 58-year old re-tread.
