I hope Fordham doesn't come knocking on the door if he wants to be closer to home

You might be right there. All the same, could someone please create a Myles Foster thread?Billyboy78 wrote: ↑1 year ago Remember this is the Vault who is saying this. And we know why...so when it doesn't happen, it's a bad look for our coach.
And do we want another big who can't shoot whose also only 6'7?steveystuds06 wrote: ↑1 year ago Abdou is a stud. I like Foster, but another big that can't shoot doesn't seem like the best option. I'd gladly take Abdou and I would still love to land Buru..
Some good programs on that list. Will be hard to get him back here I'm sure.
I'd take Alex and his 6'11 athletic potential over a 6'7 low major guy.steveystuds06 wrote: ↑1 year ago If getting Abdou means you bring on a dude like Foster that averaged 12 and 6 I’m fine with it… Not my top choice but id rather have both then none…I still think Alex may transfer and idk if Bilau plays next year. Top priority is getting a pure point guard that can shoot.
Not sure they have room. Tsimbala is definitely back and Novitski has only played 2 years at Fordham and 2 years at a Juco. For some reason some are saying he needs a waiver. Is it possible you don’t get a COVID year if you have 2 years at a Juco? Doesn’t make sense, but, then again this is the NCAA.jcru wrote: ↑1 year agoYou have a point there.rhodyram22 wrote: ↑1 year ago I hope Fordham doesn't come knocking on the door if he wants to be closer to home

Is it one or the other? Watching Myles it looks like he's a 6'7 center. Wouldn't make sense to get both.Ramfan22 wrote: ↑1 year agoWouldn’t be a package dealsteveystuds06 wrote: ↑1 year ago If getting Abdou means you bring on a dude like Foster that averaged 12 and 6 I’m fine with it… Not my top choice but id rather have both then none…I still think Alex may transfer and idk if Bilau plays next year.

That is interesting. Maybe he picked up a knock or something? How could his PPG fluctuate so much?PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year ago https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/pl ... elog/2023/
Abou has a very odd stat line
37 points against UTSA then two games later 0 points against FIU
Went 0-9 from the field and 1 point against Saint Mary's
A solid 12 against FAU then scored 1 the next time they played.
Maybe foul issues.rhodyram22 wrote: ↑1 year agoThat is interesting. Maybe he picked up a knock or something? How could his PPG fluctuate so much?PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year ago https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/pl ... elog/2023/

Yep could also be confidence issues. I would still take him though.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoMaybe foul issues.rhodyram22 wrote: ↑1 year agoThat is interesting.

Most definitely. He's also gotten better every year so no reason to think that would stop.rhodyram22 wrote: ↑1 year agoYep could also be confidence issues. I would still take him though.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoMaybe foul issues.rhodyram22 wrote: ↑1 year ago

Yeah, if that's our group of bigs (minus Bilau for most/all of the season) then I'm happy.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoMost definitely. He's also gotten better every year so no reason to think that would stop.
Him, Bilau, Brown and Foumena is a very solid group of bigs.
I think Bilau should be ready by January.rhodyram22 wrote: ↑1 year agoYeah, if that's our group of bigs (minus Bilau for most/all of the season) then I'm happy.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoMost definitely. He's also gotten better every year so no reason to think that would stop.

It’s one or the other, if we get Ousmane then Alex is Au Revoir imhoPeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoIs it one or the other? Watching Myles it looks like he's a 6'7 center.

Yeah I like those 4 bigs tooPeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoMost definitely. He's also gotten better every year so no reason to think that would stop.

I thought Robinson, Foster, and Abdou wanted to play together? That’s the rumor going around. I don’t want Foster but if that’s true I’m fine with landing him. He’s better than any big we had last year besides Bilau. Also, if we are still going after a few bigs it makes me wonder how ready Foumena is.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoIs it one or the other?

I hope so but I heard it could be a long time and we may not see him play next yearPeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoI think Bilau should be ready by January.rhodyram22 wrote: ↑1 year agoYeah, if that's our group of bigs (minus Bilau for most/all of the season) then I'm happy.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year ago

He had surgery to repair the ACL in December and guys seem to be coming back from that injury faster all the time.
A 12 and 6 guy who starts isn't going to transfer to another mid major to sit on the bench.luke wrote: ↑1 year ago Hey if it has to be both , so what ?//// Remember , 11, 12 and 13 on the bench don't see the floor , so if Foster can't crack the lineup and is okay with
sitting , that can be a good thing . You don't want highly talented guys grumbling on the bench and who can't wait to leave.
Could Alex go average 12 and 6 at Monmouth? His game high last year was 11 pts in a dogshit A10. I think he’s a great kid but he’s so far away from making an impact on the offensive end I’d rather bring on guys that can make an impact next year. I can’t handle another season like last year. My only hesitation with Foster is fit. I’m not sure we need another player like him if we are bringing on Abdou.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoI'd take Alex and his 6'11 athletic potential over a 6'7 low major guy.steveystuds06 wrote: ↑1 year ago If getting Abdou means you bring on a dude like Foster that averaged 12 and 6 I’m fine with it… Not my top choice but id rather have both then none…I still think Alex may transfer and idk if Bilau plays next year.

Well the A-10 was still way beyond the CAA let's be real. 12 and 6 at 6'7 240 with average athleticism doesn't translate much better. Alex has a way higher ceiling.steveystuds06 wrote: ↑1 year agoCould Alex go average 12 and 6 at Monmouth? His game high last year was 11 pts in a dogshit A10.

I was impressed when I watched him drop 18 and 15 against Seton Hall. That's the only time I saw him play.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoWell the A-10 was still way beyond the CAA let's be real. 12 and 6 at 6'7 240 with average athleticism doesn't translate much better.

But if we get Ousmane he's probably gone. Or Keegan Records.
Hell Records might be better than Ousmane
Records would be a great backup option to Abdou! I like the way Abdou defends more
I don't think it feels like we are getting Foster (I don't suffer from chronic pessimism)
Would any of these be able to play the 4? Do any of them have a good mid range or 3 pt game? Or playing two of them at the same time will clog up everything inside and not work very well.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑1 year agoMost definitely.
