I thought the Mitchell twins had two years left when they transferred.

.

Muss mentioned in the post game presser how well Uconn's prices fit together and said multiple times how well they and how much they passed the ball.

He also talked about how much they mixed hard interior scoring and defense with perimeter shooting to from a deadly combo.

He also said they weren't as physical as Tennessee or any morso than any other teams in the SEC, but that they just executed everything at such a high level.

It sounded like he was taking mental notes of those things, but I guess we will see in how he constructs his off-season roster.

I'm sure he will also have a lot more NIL $$ to put toward transfers this cycle because he doesn't have all those highly regarded HS HS kids coming in this year like last.

That same $ put toward NSJ probably could probably land 2-3 elite portal guys instead this year.

Yeah, I feel like you rarely see both elite big man play and elite perimeter shooting. They felt impossible to guard.

So moving forward, what are some of the portal names being mentioned lately outside of Hunter that have legit interest?

BJ Mack has us in his Top 10




One thing to remember. Unlimited transfers is over.

Mitchell’s and Graham would have to sit out a year if they transfer so curious to see what they decide. I’m assuming Graham is gone if Mitchell’s stay. Would Mitchell’s want to play behind Mack and Fall??

Hutch at the DemGaz says he thinks Pinion stays and Ford leaves. I hope it’s the other way around.

Having watched his highlights, he looks like he plays really soft for a guy his size.

More of an offense guy than defense thus far.

Can knock down an open 3

I don’t get all the Komani playing time. He didn’t belong on the floor against these elite teams.

he's the best we had. he isn't that big. he's 6'8 basically. that dude they had had him by 40 pounds and 2-3 inches.

but the twins are too soft and shy away from contact at least he tries.

Kamani actually fights for boards and had a big Outback against Kansas. The other 3 options just stood around the perimeter and refused to battle.

I at least saw kamani get sick on sanagogo beating him and push his arse.... The others got worked and did nothing about it.

Yeah Kamani plays because of his attitude and physicality.

This. A pg who can knock down threes would also be a huge addition

Kamani was a role player and he played it well. Defense, rebounding, and 5 good fouls. He has made several crucial plays at crucial times the past two years.

He won the sdsu game for us. He knew his role and played his role.
