Would Be Nice If That's All...

... because I'd be happy if Jeremiah, Gavin, JaMichael, Oskar and Eugene all return. All-world team? By no means. But it would show at least some continuity with an option to further develop. I really like what JaMichael brings with his on-the-ball defense, I still like Gavin's potential, Jeremiah is just awesome, Emmanuel could provide nice 5-man depth even if he is the #3 5-man, and Oskar is a good deep-bench occasional contributor/good locker room guy. Give me those 5, plus the 5 frosh, and then 3 transfer portal guys, one of which would be a starting 5, and I'd be happy, ha.

Ogobole had a tough time beating Woolfolk out and he appeared to be in Pike's doghouse. He also purposedly tripped an opponent. He also came from a community college.

He has size and some talent, but I can't count on anything from him.

JWill, JMike and Gavin have all said they are staying

Hahaha, oops! I meant Emmanuel. I got brain-twisted with Omoruyi on the mind, then Eugene O., then Emmanuel. Long day, bah

Yup..he can be fun to watch but we’re kidding ourselves here.

are you calling JWill a liar?

He definitrly showed a few flashes, but so did Woolfolk

Sometimes things just change...especially if someone is offering you mucho dinero.

All five positions represented by that group.

Yeah, but you can't teach that kinda size. He won't be easily pushed around, will give us a legit 5 extra fouls, a few rebounds and a put back or 2. Any improvement he makes over this year is gravy.

You can NOT!!!

 

[NickRU714]

I wouldn't be surprised if an elite transfer guard coming in gives JWill second thoughts. If his starting spot isn't guaranteed becuase the transfer guard is an elite 3pt shooter.

Of course we could not even be pursuing such guard.

 

[RUDiddy777]

He’s a junior, so can’t do a grad transfer.

 

[KevH]

I've stood next to that young man. The word imposing comes to mind. I hope they get somebody in here who can coach up big men.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I wouldn't be surprised if an elite transfer guard coming in gives JWill second thoughts. If his starting spot isn't guaranteed becuase the transfer first is an elite 3pt shooter.

Of course we could not even be pursuing such guard.

...or he is blown away by another school. Anyone who thinks they know he is coming back is fooling themselves if they think he wouldn't leave if he was offered a ton of $.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

are you calling JWill a liar?

No. I also don't call GMs who tell the media he is our guy and then fires the coach 2 weeks later liars. Or a manager who says X is our closer and then demotes them a week later.

If he’s not a grad transfer you will know in like a month.

How does that work? Timelines and all.

Have to disagree, hoping Oskar and Ogbole jump in as well. Last year’s team was terrible on offense, we need as much new talent and shooting in here as possible. If Oskar and Ogbole leave that gives us 5 spots to obtain new portal players. I could care less if Ogbole leaves, we can do better than him, and Oskar is Oskar, nothing special and relatively meaningless value to the roster.

Oskar going back to Sweden

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

How does that work? Timelines and all.

New deadline is 45 days I think. Rules changed. Everything will happen fast. This time we’re not going to get burned. Pike will make sure he’s here. He will be a starter along with a shooter not yet on the roster, Dylan, Ace and a center not yet on the roster. Nobody is paying Gavin to transfer in so I’m not sure why he would leave. But it’s unlikely he will start.

 

[Kbee3]

Oskar going back to Sweden

Expected.
