He looked like a 6'7" center. He made a nice alley oop pass to Cliff last year though. Idk the next time we will see a big to big alley oop at Rutgers.

- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Hmmmm. We had 2 lottery picks and 1 highly sought after transfer portal big in the starting lineup. And we had a losing record?
Solid list, lot of Money paying schools. He def requested a number RU was not willing to pay.
Unfortunately we will spread our money around for a bunch of Tyson Acuff and Jordan Derkack types, heck we will need about 5 players

I could see Sommerville developing into a Great Esobor type player in a couple of years. He needs to play alongside another big who can rebound and defend. I don’t see him as a great fit here alongside Grant. Grant will have more upside due to his athletic ability.
Remains to be seen if the Big$ schools offer anywhere near the $1mil he wanted from RU. I'm sure a ton of schools would give him a few hundred thousand and develop him to be a better all-around player in 1-2 years. I bet Pikes did the same.
Yes - Richie reported that his agent said all communications should go through him.
when we see he’s not a starter at a power conference school, we will know it’s not much.
MSU has two BILLIONAIRES who fund the team, one who was a walk on for Izzo, you will never hear about what players are getting there as it is taken care of inhouse
I assume the point is that he’s not fielding any inquiries directly. Everything must start with his agent. I have no idea if this is the new norm or what. But that’s how the podcast described it.
Bad roster construction, one of the lottery picks is a wing that had to take on the roll of a center because there was no one to fill that roll on the team. Main reason I feel like this is a good transfer for all involved.
Get the argument straight. Clueless posters talking about Lathan this past year preventing Pike from getting a rim protector and threatening to leave. No one commented about this year except you . Are you confused ?
Huh? No. Richie just said it in the latest podcast. Did you listen to it? He mentioned the thing from last year again in it too.
Who cares? I guess the dude who it meant so much to that he said he'd shit if it happened. Other than that, I care, be able to see how he develops at this same level. Well, at least until next portal window when he moves again.
I’m in the same boat, I think Grant has potential, but much of his time on the court he was left completely unguarded as teams focused on Dylan and Ace. He may find that he draws a lot more defensive attention next year. Hopefully he adapts, but I don’t think you count on it.

If true - potential list of offers maybe BS.
Sounds like Pike said bye bye.
Sounds like he may be uncoachable.

Nah - it’s all about money. Wasn’t worth it to us to pay what he wanted. The top dogs can get better. So he found a team willing to go into their pocket for his services. That simple. It’s no guarantee he beats out their center either by the way.
Washington paid Great Osobor $2 million this past season to come in last in the B1G & they have lost 7 players in the portal already this week. Lathan don't care about winning its all about the money!
