I feel like Muss will never been in the position again where half the team is made up of true freshman. This is the year he combos not being bullied by size or caught off guard by lack of experience.

And it's important to have a larger nucleus where the team knows how he wants things to operate outise of Devo, Kamani, and the walk ons.

Battle and Watkins are Hogs, just not publicly.

Battle helps us the most out of any realistic transfer get.

Gonna savor post March Muss while I can. I don't think the portal looks this way in 2 years.

Just another reason why taking that freshman class was so valuable.

last year's portal commits: Brazile - Mar 31 Graham - April 7 Mitchells - April 7 RC4 - May 16

However, Devo's limbo may end up meaning all of this lingers longer

Syracuse big man Jesse Edwards just hit the portal and apparently Muss has already reached out.

Big time, big time player:

quote:

The 6-11 center started every game for the Orange last season, averaging 14.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in 32.6 minutes per game. He also shot 59.2% from the floor and 72.9% from the free throw line. 


He's apparently looking for a payday, however, he is a Dutch national and cannot enter into a traditional NIL deal like American players can.

However, some teams can get around this by playing a game outside of the US and he can get paid a lump sum for a "marketing appearance" while out of the country like Kentucky did for Tshebwe last year while they played in The Bahamas.

Welp... Guess who is in the Battle for Atlantis next season...

quote:

Celebrating its 12th year of elite collegiate tournament play, the 2023 Battle 4 Atlantis will include Arkansas, Memphis, Michigan, North Carolina, Northern Iowa, Stanford, Texas Tech, and Villanova.

That’s the guy that gets us past the Elite 8. Pay the man and let’s go.

Just saw that he's going to be visiting West Virginia on Friday. Hopefully Muss can get in his ear before then.

This looks like a huge pickup for whoever gets him. I’m afraid to be too optimistic, a fella can only stand so much disappointment…….

Did WV fall into a bunch of NIL $ or something? That's the second big time portal guy giving them a serious look.

Wilkerson also indicating that Battle commit will come after AB announces he's leaving.

Kevin McPherson also said this afternoon that he expects TWO commitments in the next day or two.

Edwards and Brazile would be fun to watch together.

I don't think Muss wants any more freshman on his team anyway. He's going out to get men this go round.

Get Edwards and I'll agree. Brazile is incredible and Graham is a valuable piece, but they're not dominating inside presences. I don't think Fall is ready and might not even play much next year.

Give me a big guy like Edwards, who will average 10+ rebounds per game and doesn't care about taking 3s. As Cheshire said, that's the missing piece for getting past the Elite 8.
