If we're going to keep signing Canadians, just once I want one of them to sound like a stereotypical Canadian. Oh ya, we're aboot to go oot and shoot some hoops.

You must not recall much of the Grant years if you don't see the value in always having contingency plans for unexpected departures or recruiting misses.

Must mean Primo is seriously considering leaving. That’s my only guess. So they’re reaching out to make sure they have someone to fill the last scholarship in case he does.

I don't think it really means anything other than we are always trying to stay prepared - Primo could stay in the draft, someone on the roster could decide tomorrow to leave, etc.

College basketball rosters in 2021 and forward are constantly changing - coaches have to be prepared for anything.

Unless Primo completely blindsided them about his draft intentions, they'd have just kept Wilson on board.

2nd round picks can get up to 2 years guarranteed contracts (about $800,000 minimum) or one year or some combination; can also get 2 way contracts with G league. Most 2nd round players have signed with teams with one of the above options. This is good money for someone 20-22 years old. I have no idea what Primo may do, but missing the 1st round does not leave players stranded with nothing if they get a 2nd round pick. After 2nd round, things are iffy, though many of our former players have made good livings abroad - like Dudley for 14 years in Turkey. Richard Hendrix is still playing - in Japan. Retin doing great in, I think, Italy. Saw video of Levi winning a game in New Zealand.

People talk about his offense being the thing that killed us, but this was the biggest reason in my opinion. The dude would swing for the fences, finish as the kid's second choice, and had no plan B. I've said it before, but his biggest downfall was that he was too good of a guy to succeed at a high-major program. He never over-recruited and never played the recruiting game. It seemed like every year we'd go into the season with 3 unfilled scholarships which puts your team on thin ice where injuries are concerned.

Yep. Totally agree with all of that. It happened every single year. You'd read about the kids we were recruiting and it'd be like 4-5 guys even though we had 4 spots to fill. Then we'd sign 2 of them, one guy on the team would transfer out of the blue, and we'd find ourselves down 2+ scholarships with no clear backup plan for filling them. A big reason Oats is such a good recruiter on top of his having a well defined set of characteristics he is looking for in players is the fact that he casts a very wide net. So if something doesn't work out he's not left holding the bag out in the rain.

Wasn't there a year where our only signee was Devonta Pollard? That shot back quick. Dakota Slaughter, a walk on, played a good bit.
