Damn, in the future we don’t let any high school kid hold us hostage.
Lessons should be learned — you can’t be a developmental program anymore. I expect him to land on the SEC.
not surprised and didnt like his attitude anyhow
Entered with Do Not contact tag. I’m guessing he is getting a bag of $ and he was probably reached out back in Jan/Feb.
exactly...these kids have been shopping around for a while...oh and they arent kids...these are adults looking for fans to pay for their lifestyle
Let's see if the next coach allows him to hog the ball and shoot 0% from 3
How is Do Not Contact anything but tampering?
F all these guys now. Unless they are held to 2-3 year contracts I'm done.
He was never staying. We should’ve never agreed not to recruit a BIG last year. Such an awful decision.
shocker. Father was in the military and Sommerville traveled living different areas of the world. This was predictable.
Got to love NIL. Thanks Geo!

Doubt it. They’ve got Morez Johnson (Lathan’s HS rival) at the 5 who seems like the future of the position for them. Lathan is not all that dissimilar from Dain Dainja who Underwood ran out of town last season
Bac, I usually think your posts are far too negative and harsh. Not this one. 1,000 percent correct. The major sports are no longer college sports. If people want to watch college sports, go to games at Monmouth or Rowan.
If you’re a Center in college basketball in 2025…that has potential…. unless your school is paying you good money, of course you’re entering the portal.
Clif was pretty obvious: don't let him shoot and restrict to at the basket plays.
And that's what it appears Bama did.
LS isn't a very good shooter. But seems to think he is. He needs the same restrictions.
But doesn't offer the defensive tradeoff.
You do realize it was part of the game plan for him to get points as another source of scoring. We had no size to hit layups under the rim. They wanted him to take those hook shots and pull up mid range jumpers. Should he have passed out to the perimeter more? Sure. But that’s another deficit in our coaching department.
Seems like some people are surprised by this. I think this was one of the most definite outcomes regarding our players.
Absolutely bro! Hated it.. sucked real bad on D, too slow and out of position all the time
Agree with you and BAC but he probably will go somewhere else and shine
Rick pitino sounded kind of smart when he said he was done recruiting freshmen…
Maybe - but it was not possible for him to succeed in Pike‘s system
Too much of a tweener for the conference. Not big enough for the 5, not fast or shooting well enough for the 4.
Every school will go through this. Totally out of control at this point.
And maybe if no one contributes to the NIL then we can get back to some sense of normalcy.
I probably have a higher opinion of him than most on this board, but I'm not gonna miss him trying to take the other team off the dribble 1 on 3 from the three-point line.
He's gonna be a better-than-average power forward on a good team ... and way, way overpaid.

Jan or Feb, more like last November after he made a few plays in the Vegas tourney.
He was never coming here for more than a year. He came to play with Dylan and Ace - and be part of something, that was in the spotlight. That's it
Not a player to sell the farm over. Good luck, Sommerville on your next stop!
Until there’s regulation or enforceable contracts signed by the athletes - turnover of BB teams annually will be rampant !
I think he’ll end up a 5 in the Big East. You need a shooter at the 4.
So if any of our four frosh work out this year they’ll be gone next. Might as well just go to the portal every year and take 8-10 scraps
Who wants to renew their season tickets by April 15th with no one on the roster except incoming freshmen? Pike will scour the community colleges for players who will play for peanuts.
