Strange that we haven’t been linked to any true wings so far. Guess you could count Wright but he falls somewhere in between the wing/guard mold. Understand why not many big man targets have emerged since we won’t be targeting top-tier guys, but overall intriguing to watch the transfer strategy unfold

As an edit: suppose the wing could be McConnell — grows more likely by the day that he returns if more wing targets don’t emerge. That said, would still be a little surprised if he came back

I saw a tweet from Caleb recently that said "I love being a Scarlet Knight." I don't recall seeing any reaction to it here, which was surprising to me.

Spencer did not come out of nowhere. Pikiell has been in contact with him as soon he hit the portal. Been talking to him building a relationship. Any narrative that Pikiell only targets 1 guy at a time is nonsense.

It was the culmination of a recruitment that started when Rutgers contacted the 6-foot-4 guard over the phone after he entered the transfer portal earlier this month. The relationship built from there, the basketball-obsessed coach and player hitting it off thanks to their mutual love of the game. It led to a visit to campus at the start of this week and a commitment by the end of his stay.

“Earlier this month” could mean anything. Could mean last week. Wright and Hammond were known about since we lost to ND. That’s just a fluff piece so I don’t really read into those too much.
