Possible new Portal Target

[FIJI'83]

So this is probably unlikely now that we have signed Ogbole and the main need is a guard, but UMass starting center Wildens Leveque just entered the portal as a grad transfer. Not the most impressive stats but Noah Fernandes former teammate and could be solid depth at center if Ogbole isn’t ready to play immediately.

We need to add a guard, not another big man

 

[RUPete]

We’re probably done with recruiting big men now, but it’s always good to have current information since circumstances seem to change by the minute these days.

 

[MV9000]

Like said guard is the next focus. We’re good on bigs with 3.

Hoping the CM leading scorer hits the portal, kids from new coaches school.

Just overall need someone competent to round out the lineup.

That would be a good scenario.

Unless it's for the opportunity to truly compete for a national championship, why would any grad big man transfer to a school where they wouldn't likely be the starter?

Because he sucks?

Visit a new part of the country. Have different experiences. Go to a school with a better academic program. Make future employment connections. Make more $. A ton a reasons.

Not needed we need shooters from the wings

 

[darkcheck]

I say take him if you can get him. We need quality depth and shooters are going to be hard to find in the portal right now. You’d be lucky to find one who can be a rotational player. If you do find two use the 13th scholarship. But don’t pass up a player who will allow Wolf to go to his more natural four spot and slide the rest of the depth up the lineup. Mag had to guard the five when we beat Ohio st last year. While he can let’s not do that again. Gavin and Aundre at the 3. Aundre can play a little two the same as Mag can play a little 3. Derek Noah one solid portal guard and Jamichael. It can’t be a problem to have too many 5s in the B1G.

No 5's are portal targets. We don't need to be rostering a 4th string 5

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers needs another 3 point shooter to complement Griffiths.Opponents will play zone against Rutgers to stop dribble drives to the basket and force outside shots by mediocre shooters.

We do need another shooter but Fernandes can shoot

 

[darkcheck]

I’m not saying don’t get another shooter, if one can be found. But with three scholarships left is it so bad to have a third true center and move Wolf to his natural 4?

We have no 5s left….they are all slated to play the 4.

Is this our Roster than?
4 Cliff, Mag, Woolf, Chol, Ogbole
5 Sheridan??

😆😆😆

I disagree with the premise

In a perfect world I agree with you Scangg, I just think it’s very disappointing who’s left in the portal this late in June and it might be two wasted scholarships trying to fit our needs. Was only trying to go outside the box to find depth.

No way is Sheridan playing 5 in the modern game
