End of the day Graham had 16 points against USC and Bama and 26 points vs Florida. There's obvious upside too.
Seriously.
Dude is a damn good player. People are excusing the fact we couldn't figure out team defense to help him out. Our offense looked badass when he was given runs in multiple games, including Bama.
This fans/muss BS of every dude on the floor needs to be Tony Allen is ridiculous. Tired of it. Man up, adapt and utilize his skills.
He's an all Pac 12 Player and showed some ridiculous flashes. I don't hate giving him a spot. We didn't use 4-5 this year anyway.

Pinion and Ford always were, Muss didn't put them in late in the NCAAT for nothing, that was to get them a little experience as much as anything.
Pinion is another that showed flashes. 38% from three and 100% from FT, he has a great looking shot and at 6'5" 190 has size too.
Another year in the system, weight room, and general development and he can get minutes next year for sure.

Gotta understand that with Muss’ limited rotation and what we had coming in, Pinion and Ford were always going to have a tough time cracking the lineup. That shouldn’t be a reason to say they can’t get playing time eventually. They’re more developmental types
The fact that they played at all in real situations is promising for them

Yeah Pinion was borderline in the mix as a true freshman competing with two lottery picks and a couple upperclassmen. I don’t know why everyone is giving up on him. He’s 100% on track with expectations.
Teams would be lining up to sign him if he hit the portal.

Also, sounding like Dunning is returning. Nothing against the kid, I was just hoping we could free his spot for a potential impact transfer, especially if Muss and the Hunts are supposedly going all in this year.

So as of now
Graham
Fall
Makhi Mitchell
Makhel Mitchell
Brazile
Ford
Pinion
Dunning
Menifield
Blocker
Declared but Possible Return - Devo
Waiting to Hear from Black & Walsh
At some point, If Dickinson, Ware, or any of the Guards we are on wants to come in somebody who said they are returning is leaving.
I think if we can get Dickinson or Ware the Twins are told to head overseas.

Blocker
Fall
Brazille
Graham
Menifield
Pinion
Ford

Agreed and I'm hoping we are able to do so. We are still in on some solid prospects with Battle, Pack, Perry, etc...
Those guys are easily upgrades over guys on the current roster.

Just my personal guess at this point but I'm thinking we also get Walsh and Devo back and the twins leave
Blocker
Fall
Brazille
Graham
Menifield
Pinion
Ford
Devo
Walsh
That'd leave room for 4 more transfers.
Just speculating on the twins but the fact that Brazille is back, we're bringing in Fall, Graham is back, and we're by all accounts pursuing Ware hard - makes me wonder if the twins fit into this team
I'd be thrilled if we got those I'm thinking back then rounded out the transfers with
Ware
Mark
Cryer
+ an athletic wing type/Council replacement
Spears would be a good backup option to Cryer but I don't feel like we need both

Also, today is the end of the dead period. So, hopefully, there's a lot more news put out now than just who has been contacted and zoom meetings being held.

Love the kid, but not sure how he will find minutes with all of this talent.
Dude isn't a great defender and looked scared out there several times this year. Hopefully he develops and stops being so fearful.
Give him another year. He may not be the greatest athlete but can learn defensive technique which can take you a long way.
A lot of the mid majors don't have great athletes but do just fine come tournament time.

This graphic might be helpful keeping everything straight. Couple of the twitterz folks keep this updated every time someone makes a new announcement

Sounding like Devo is unlikely to return as of now

What's being said?
Posted on 4/6/23 at 10:47 am to The Sultan of Swine
Thats its unlikely Devo is returning lol

Jamison Battle has committed to Ohio State.

He could go play in Europe. Probably shopping around to compare NIL money to what he think he can make elsewhere.
Depending on who's interested and we can get, he may not have a spot to come back to.
