Adding these two players would 1. Address our two weaknesses. 2. Make us way more athletic 3. Balance the classes nicely

[PeterRamTime]

I like these two as a package deal!

Reese was knocking down shots against us in the scrimmage last year, looked solid.

Pretty athletic, good height.

Carrigan as a defensive specialist/good rebounder at 6'9/6'10

Heck yeah.

[rambone 78]

Reese also comes with less baggage than Sheppard, besides being higher rated.

Getting a visit is huge. Lock him up then!

I don't think we're taking both Sheppard and Reese though.

One of them plus either Carrigan or Reid.

[Iggy1979]

Reese will visit with Carrigan ONLY IF Sheppard doesn't commit.

[Rhody74]

Reese will visit with Carrigan ONLY IF Sheppard doesn't commit.

Makes sense.

[KevanBoyles]

What if Coach Cox really wants Reese? How does that play out?

[Iggy1979]

You or Cox?

[rambone 78]

So if Sheppard commits we don't have a shot at Carrigan either I guess.

I must admit if Reese and Carrigan would commit as a package deal that would be awesome!

Too bad those two aren't visiting first.

I'm sure Sheppard would be a nice add by himself though.

[KevanBoyles]

What if Coach Cox really wants Reese? How does that play out?

You or Cox?

Not sure I understand. I have no idea who would be better between Reese or Sheppard. I’m just trying to figure out how it works if Cox really wants Reese as opposed to Sheppard.

[Iggy1979]

I think the order of the visits is telling. We'll see.

[rambone 78]

Unfortunately there's a lot of risk if the staff passes on Sheppard in the hopes of getting Reese and maybe Carrigan also.

Could get nothing.

Carrigan and Reese are not a package deal. If URI offers Carrigan will accept.

[theblueram]

If we take Sheppard we will still have an in with Reid? That might work.

[rambone 78]

Seems like some people already know who will likely commit.

Only Reese is a question mark?

[DC_Rams]

Sheppard is Priority #1.
Reese will visit is Sheppard doesn’t commit this weekend and no other suitors pop up.
Reid is the priority over Carrigan.

[rambone 78]

Got to trust the staff on these things. Good to know, DC.

[Billyboy78]

Sheppard is Priority #1.
Reese will visit is Sheppard doesn’t commit this weekend and no other suitors pop up.
Reid is the priority over Carrigan.

But do we even have a realistic shot at Reid?

[rambone 78]

Only the staff knows I guess.

The fact that Reese will visit here if Sheppard doesn't commit is a good sign there I think.

[Rhody Sody]

Agreed Sheppard should be a priority over Reese. Despite the rankings, Sheppard is proven against a top 6 conference...2 years ago so you would expect he has improved and probably significantly.

[DC_Rams]

Reid is the priority over Carrigan.

Who really knows the answer to a question like this? We’ve been in to see him, so that’s as a positive a sign you can look for?

This kid better not be a thorn in our backside ???

[Jersey77]

Just entered the portal from North Texas started every game.
Averaged 11pts/ 4 rebs/ 42%FG

[rhodylaw]

Would love to see him here but I don’t see it happening. So many good players in the portal though, they all can’t go to a P5 school and get playing time.

[Iggy1979]

Pass
