Hopefully we can land Murphy and Philon come back and that’ll be a good roster

Philon
Reid
And I'd like to see what Xaivian could do in our offense

I think I am most excited about Bethea. This guy was the number 7 overall ranked recruit in the 2024 class. 6'4" plus athlete that can shoot it. Give me guards like this dude and watch out.

TIFWIW According to the insiders on CC discord: staff isn't going after Murphy, Reid to portal, Rylan back soon, and Philon leaning NBA/portal.

Someone that tends to be fairly reliable posted similar negative vibes on Reid as well. Haven't heard the rest of that. All of that combined would be.... the nightmare scenario (relatively speaking... we should have a top 15 roster regardless). Hopefully, it all turns out to be bad info or it swings back in a positive direction.

I don’t know why Reid would portal out. I could see the rest happening. I think I’d be happy to get Rylan back although I think he should send me flowers and chocolate to apologize

I’m going to preemptively cope over Reid. IF he does leave then we’re only missing out on potential and not production. He was out half of the year and he didn’t necessarily amaze while he was in. Our 2nd highest recruit after Sexton and he looked great but we’ve had several freshmen make a bigger impact.
All that being said…please stay.

Bol Bowen is a very similar player to Stevenson, but is currently better in just about every facet of the game.
Have to agree here although I havent watched him enough to judge his defense:
Bowen: 6'10, 195, 8ppg, 41% 3P%, 5rpg, 25mpg
Stevenson: 6"11, 215, 5.4ppg, 30% 3P%, 3.4rpg, 18mpg
Bowen on paper should be a good fit for what Nelson and Stevenson were providing.

I wondered about Murphy due to fit and lack of spacing but I would like to have him and feel he'd bring a toughness we need. I'm not as high on Reid as others but definitely don't want to lose him due to his potential. Don't like bringing Rylan back. Numbers significantly decreased this season and he's kind of stiff and shooting is questionable. Would rather spend the money on Xaivian. Philon leaving is rough but understandable and another reason to pull Xaivian or another lead guard.

It’s NIL era CBB, just let it play out.

He was out the most important part of the year where growth and development take place, and while the offense left a lot to be desired, when he was healthy early on he was up there with Mo in defensive impact.

He must’ve forgotten Mo won us the game against Grand Canyon. He also saved our butts in the tournament his year hitting two threes to put the game out of reach against st Mary’s. I don’t get why some people are downplaying Mo D to hype up Jarin. It’s honestly no comparison. As mistaken said if we have Mo D in instead of Jarin against Tennessee we easily make another final four. That non box out was a killer.
yep, pretty much the only silver lining to both them being gone now is the jarin bros can finally stop living in a world of petty butthurtness about it. that said i do hope jarin doesnt end up in the sec as i just know that one game out of a dozen where he grows a pair would be against bama.

His defense is by far the best part of his game. Easily the best defender on the roster thus far.

Don't know why Philon would lean NBA/Portal but I guess to leverage more money. Do we risk overspending?
Dylan Darling
Xaivian Lee
Rylan Griffen
Amier Ali
Another seven footer (maybe)
Derrion Reid is a question mark for me...I know he was hurt this season for the most part but he doesn't shoot it very well...his potential is through the roof though. Defensively, he's good !!
Have anybody heard any coaches names for the opening position?

If Reid leaves, it's a big loss. Plus defender and athlete at 6'8".

Feel like we’d take a pretty big step back next year if all this happens.

If Philon AND Reid leave, I think it is fair to downshift expectations to tournament participant rather than contender.
