'19 JUCO C - Dimon Carrigan (Florida International)

[DC_Rams]

I think Iggy said he is visiting in April.

Yes, he is going to visit. I believe it will be the weekend of April 12th or 19th.

Thanks 83 - are you hearing anything with our involvement with Kareem Reid?

Carrigan is priority.

Sounds like Cuse and Houston are still interested.

Syracuse looks for this exact type of kid for middle of their zone. Wouldnt surprise me if they were still interested. Seems like his offensive game never caught up, but strictly for his shot blocking abilities he is a very compelling addition.

Lay out the seashell kisses for him cause we may be in for a fight!

This might affect his decision.

[Blue Man]

Most intriguing thing about Dimon is that in the role we need him - we don't need offense.

If Cyril is out you'll still have 4 people capable of scoring on the floor from anywhere else. It's more important that you have someone who can step up on defense in the middle ready to go.

10-15 minutes at the 5 allows Cyril to rest, allows another body for fouls, and can prevent the kind of runs that plagued us this year. Would love to see this kid in Keaney Blue.

And blocks lead to live ball turnovers, turnovers create easy scoring opportunities...and we need as many easy buckets as possible.

Anybody seen this guy play, or any worthwhile recent video out there?

I think if this was going to happen it would've happened. You saw how quickly they closed on Sheppard.

Have you heard of what weekend he might visit?

April recruiting calendar leads to lots of stops and starts. Dead period ends on Thursday.

[Rhody83]

Right. Live Recruiting period starts at noon on Thursday and runs thru Sunday. There is another Dead period next Monday - Thursday.
So expect Ty on the road this Thursday. Potential visits this weekend or next. The weekend of April 26-28 the coaches are on the road at AAU Tournaments.

Cox is being patient and picky at this point.

[Rhody83]

I do think Cox has pumped the brakes on using the last scholly on an average JUCO. Go after top transfers and if you don’t hit just hold onto the scholly. Remember KI and Walker were mid year transfers

Good to hear, smart move imho. Now if only the KB Board would pump the brakes

[PeterRamTime]

Get us a good transfer point guard that's preferably over 6'2 or 3 and a big like Carrigan

Has he made a college choice yet ?
