Thanks. Strange, I always just Google the player name + Rivals and for some reason his page doesn't come up
For some reason people miss how it works every year in college basketball. There is always room. It just takes a conversation with the last guy on the bench. "Im sorry son, we all had big hopes for you when you came here and we really appreciate what you have done for the program, but right now I just don;t see you getting much playing time here. Now I know you love to play basketball and if you want to get out on the court again, I know the coach from Southwest Lesser College State and he thinks you would be a great asset to their program..."Insane to even think this way...is there room in the 24 class? I know, we'll make room, but seriously if Harper and Ace are still in play...
Some coaches clearly push kids out the door though and Pike seems to be on the opposite side of that spectrum, but we'll see what happens. It's the best problem to have. Too much talent, too much demand, not enough spotsFor some reason people miss how it works every year in college basketball. There is always room.

NIL is a bigger issue with football. For the most part, basketball has been able to work around it.If it weren’t for all the NIL shit I’d be inclined to think that there is some sleeping giant coming awake stuff going on these days with RU basketball.
At the very least, we’ve certainly arrived at a place where a lot of top players are taking a good look at us.
Anybody hearing anything about Donnie Freeman from the DMV. Mom loved Pikiell.
