    Grad Transfer deadline May 1st

    He would’ve entered the portal now and it would’ve meant perhaps his classes to complete his degree wouldn’t have been made as much of a cake walk. In reality, Cam is a good student so he would’ve done what he needed to do to finish the semester and graduate anyway. We wouldn’t have found a...

    Big Man

    It’s a different world now as RUFan4Life explained. Cliff is going to collect $1M+. We don’t have “nothing” but we also probably don’t have more than $750K total to spend in the portal and we weren’t in a position to use every penny of it on a center. So the top tier was out of reach to start.

    Big Man

    That’s not “all we got”. We already secured the leading scorers from both the MAC and the NEC along with a starter from a 24-5 Princeton team. The reality is there probably aren’t that many desirable centers out there who want to play a complementary offensive role, period. Forget even...

    Grad Transfer deadline May 1st

    For the most part, top Tier Big men would be welcomed back in most places. Think we wouldn’t take Cliff back? We would in a second. It doesn’t make sense for them not to enter the portal to keep options open.

    Michigan is one of the few schools that probably has unlimited funds. They also will feature their center position more than we will - another selling point.

    Quitting on your team at the end of season does not help your chances of landing elsewhere

    I’m sure he wasn’t 100%. And was probably afraid of reinjury. I agree with Jersey. It probably didn’t go down this way, and was more of a hybrid. He knew he wasn’t 100%. Our team was basically out of the hunt anyway and he probably felt there was a risk of further injury in playing...

    Big Man

    Epic fail seems like a bit of an exaggeration. Josh Gray was beat out by better players on a team that finished 26-8 (only lost 6 times in the regular season). His resume from the prior year does fit the profile we’d be looking for. The issue is that SC was so bad the prior season that it’s...

    Grad Transfer deadline May 1st

    Pretty much every one of them should just enter the portal, no? There’s no downside. At least not for a decent BIG man where there’d literally be almost no risk of not finding a landing spot and most likely having the option to rejoin their original team.

    Big Man

    I suspect Pike must think he can find a better defender / rim protector than Wolf. I’d like to think he probably can/will. Folks forget that back when we brought in Agee, we were in the market for someone who was at best going to compete with Dean Reiber to earn the back up role behind...

    Big Man

    Agee’s rebounding efficiency was poor on a terrible San Jose State team. His biggest selling point was the 11+ ppg but that was a fools gold stat as most of his buckets were earned in garbage time of blowout losses. What we’re likely in the market for is an MJ type. His 2018-19 line...

    Big Man

    The market for a Cliff level BIG is $1M plus. There’s probably only a handful of programs who can easily dish this out (and not that many proven BIGs to go around - supply and demand). Put into context how much money that is. It’s likely more than double what we’re paying the 3 incoming...

    Quitting on your team at the end of season does not help your chances of landing elsewhere

    He should read all the threads with you raving about the defense in the first half of 2022-23… It’s a bit different. It’s one thing to want to play for a certain coach and then that changes. It’s another thing to be told your going to be a major contributors / starter and suddenly get...

    Quitting on your team at the end of season does not help your chances of landing elsewhere

    I don’t see what your alluding to taking place much. Could backfire in a big way to have kids on your roster resent being there as a coach.

    Gavin Griffiths to Nebraska

    Maybe if you didn’t come up with theories that were so “out there” people wouldn’t draw conclusions like this.

    BB Recruiting Rutgers lands Merrimack transfer G Jordan Derkack

    It should also be pointed out that Kiss’ offensive output from 2021-22 is not close to what we would’ve wanted from Gavin or Dercack. He may have scored 25+ ppg but that was at Bryant on 29.6% shooting from 3.

    BB Recruiting Rutgers lands Merrimack transfer G Jordan Derkack

    Let’s just wait and see - ok? A Nike showcase or other all star event is not a collegiate regularly coached basketball game. Your seeing stand out iso / duo skills on display across the board. There’s a limit to how far that can take you in team basketball. Dylan was an absolute stud in...

    BB Recruiting Rutgers lands Merrimack transfer G Jordan Derkack

    Not to mention that his best season was 3 years removed from playing at Rutgers. Over a 3 year period, many players get better at everything. What did Kiss average his first season at RU when he actually played? 3 years later he would’ve been a double digit scorer if he chose to work on his...

    BB Recruiting Rutgers lands Merrimack transfer G Jordan Derkack

    J William’s goes left plenty. And finished left in those first few games. Teams learned to adjust by bringing double team help defenders at him faster which is where he became less effective with penetration. The problem wasn’t his dribbling rather it was that there was nobody to dish to who...

    Gavin Griffiths to Nebraska

    I have no desire to waste energy rooting against Gavin except to debunk posts with nonsense like this suggesting that our coaching was why Gavin sucked so badly last season- worse than many other less heralded recruits we’ve brought in through the years. Ridiculous. Plenty of frosh struggle...

    Unlikely. Why hold out at this point?
