Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Archie is staying away from players with red flags. I feel like he initially tried to go big, get the splashy name- poaching Freeman from GW, getting a former 4 star in Harris, even Kenny Johnson probably fits here. Now, just get the guys who can play, who fit, and who you can develop. I am very OK...

First I would like to say that I have always been a Bassey supporter, but I've been having some thoughts about how this may have transpired.

I guess it didn’t costs us much to send him down to down to single A ball for more seasoning. I guess Ways to a goner, I guess Bassey back is a poster for the strange times we are in. Hope he makes his first shot as a 3 ball.
