Is Walters gonna be ready defensively, Joka?

You say all of our players and recruits are underrated though.

Latrell Wrightsell is visiting tomorrow, according to on3.

I'd love to get Estrada,Mack, and Wrightsell. Would be a great portal haul!

Can Wrightsell give minutes at the point?

I’m not sure where Wrightsell fits. You have Q, Sears, and presumably Estrada. You also Griffin. Maybe Griffin slides to the three if you so small, but he’s really small for the three imo.

I would say yes, but in very limited situations. He's more of a 2 guard who can handle the ball than a true PG.

I was getting ready to respond to that with this exact reply, but then I remembered the last time I called him out for it was when he said that Miller was Jabari Smith with a better handle (when he was projected to be the #1 overall pick). That honestly couldn't have been more spot on, even though his scouting report in High School was way different than what he turned into this season.

Blind squirrels certainly do find nuts, and he's definitely had some other calls that didn't pan out. But I'm not a huge fan of crow, so I'll sit this one out

I love Joka but The dude acted like JD was God despite being arguably the worst 5* player we have ever had. (I know Devonta Pollard)

I think Griffin will likely play more 3 than 2 next season already. I don't have a problem with that, but I would like to see us go after someone longer. I do really like Wrightsell's game, but if we added him that means one of him or Estrada sits, we go super small, or both get like 10-12 minutes per game.

It does seem like Nate is very confident in his incoming freshman class with the relative lack of interest in the 3-4 spots in the portal. I would love to add RaQuan Battle, who I think would be a great complimentary piece with what we already have and are projected to get.

It's almost a waste of a scholarship to recruit prep kids these days if you aren't very confident in their ability to contribute early.

He has to get in the weight room. Sam looked like he's gotten bigger but he still has a ways to go.

Walters is super skilled though.

I don't believe I've ever said all of them are but hey I like it though.

I spoke on Clowney & Pringle being underrated last off-season.

I never thought JD was "God"!

Last seasons team was downright terrible.

Check JD out now.

I might be back after we are done filling all the spots, I can't handle this constant "we're missing on everybody we have no NIL" crap. The top guys we are after haven't committed yet Walton and Estrada were obviously our top two targets and it looks like we will get both.

So doom and gloom in here, we just made two sweet 16s in the last 3 years after making the tournament like 4 times in 20 years. I don't get it.

I'm excited bro. It's just that time of the year. Ain't much to talk about so folks just post that type of stuff.

I don't really speak on the NIL stuff shoot honestly I'm just waiting on Estrada to lock in with us.
