So, if they left in December, they'd be eligible for 2nd semester for next season.

Yes please!!!

Wouldn’t be shocked that if they came here, They’d both be starting the majority of their careers. We need major help up front big , immediate playing time.

They're both centers. I don't know how they both start. That's another reason why I don't understand why they want to be at the same school.

Rhody22 · Unread post by **Rhody22** » 4 years ago

I’d see one starting with Harris at the PF. The other twin as the backup C and Walker backup PF.

We would be a huge team, St. Louis like. Throw in our guards....I like it.

Still would be a bad shooting team if we don’t get a shooter...

Can't find fault with this move

Tjrams91 · Unread post by **Tjrams91** » 4 years ago

One of them is better than the other. That’s the knock on them
Coming as a package deal. Coaches are hamstrung trying to make them both happy. Not to mention the mother seems a bit outspoken on her social media.

Nonetheless, they are finesse bigs with a larger arsenal of moves than anyone on our current roster.

They’d be worth the gamble.

rhodyfan3000 · Unread post by **rhodyfan3000** » 4 years ago

Listen, the lesser of the two, should still be able to get plenty of playing time. We're likely looking at a starter and a guy coming off the bench to spell plenty of minutes.

Cyril is going to leave a hole in the roster the size of Arizona when he's gone

Do they have any connection to Cox and the DC circuit?

We were at the Maryland game and if I recall, Jeff stayed around and took photos with some of the Maryland players that he played AAU with. I don't think it was the twins though...

They know Cox well.

They played with AAU with Mehki Long as well. Not sure if Long potentially leaving will negatively impact this recruitment. They are close.

Isn't Berry supposed to be a good shooter? I think so.

That's a start, but we need at least one more, for sure.

Preferably a wing.

That would be Ellis. But I'd have to think he's a long shot, seeing who his other offers are from.

Berry is a really good shooter.

This is why we needed to merge the threads.

I still have no idea why we would merge the threads. They are two human beings, each individual human being that is being recruited by URI gets their own recruiting thread. Makes no sense to suggest they be merged.

To piggyback on TP's thoughts here - While this is annoying now, when they're basically recruited as a duo, as they actually play for URI their careers are going to diverge in some ways. One might play more minutes but be less efficient, one might play better in Game X than Game Y, and presumably, they'll be on different pro teams at some point.

The front court is going to become so good from practicing against each other.

So can they play right away or are we in another Walker-esque situation?

Depends on the ruling for transfers.

Obviously they play best when they are on the floor together. At URI, we can make that happen.

Think we could play a 3-2 zone with the twins down low? Oh man, what a show that would be!

CHICO 78 · Unread post by **CHICO 78** » 4 years ago

We have never had a big like the Twins, never mind two of them! Not 6’10, 240, mobile, offensively skilled, able to pass. Team them up with Toppin with 15 lbs of muscle at the 3 and it’s going to be F’ing scary!

All that length with Toppin and Malik!

Then you got Fatts, one of the best stealers in the land!
