Based on the article from Adam Ford on the transfer portal contacts, I am very worried about Mack’s defense. His offense seems stellar but his defense is historically bad. Maybe Muss and team see something on film that they can fix

He’s high on my wishlist along with Olivari and Dalton Knecht. Knecht looks like the best player in the portal. Not sure if we’re a player for him.

If anything, Mack would be a good bench option. He wouldn't start over Brazile and Walsh.

He's impressive. Reminds me of Ricky Council, but more polished and a better shooter. How's his defense?

Olivari looks like a pure shooter who can hit guarded 3s. I really like him, too.

I watched more video of Ware and I still want him. He's a bit slow and needs to concentrate more on playing around the rim. I'd love to see him and Brazile together.

Hearing that 7'5 Jamarion Sharp from WKU has entered the portal. He did the same last season, but returned to WKU.

Hear me out. He reminds me of Mark Williams of Duke last season. Bring him in when you need a big presence inside. He can move well on both ends of the court, but might only play half of the game. But when he's in there, we could control the boards on both ends.

I really hope we add another shooter. But I truly believe if Devo improves this year like last year he will end up a great option for us.

Devo averaged >41% from 3P in the last 21 games of the season. He became one of the best 3P shooters in the conference after we initially struggled in conference play after the auburn loss. He no doubt put in a ton of work to do it too.

Edit: of all SEC players in that timeframe (all games since 1/8/23), and considering a minimum of 50 3P attempts, only Kobe Brown of Missouri made them at a better clip at 46.5% to Devo's 41.2%.

If you look at all players that shot at least as many as he attempted in that timeframe (97 attempts), there were only 36 better 3P shooters in the country

Yeah, I think this year was a weird year in terms of our freshman class being so highly rated, injuries, trial and error with the player types Muss now knows he HAS to have, etc. Still made a Sweet 16 with a losing conference record and the injuries!

Watching Ronald Holland in the McDonald’s game.

Holy lord wish we’d have pulled him.

Fall just checked in

Holland is in an all star pick up game and he’s out there playing like it’s a playoff game. Just plays pissed off.

If Muss could build his dream prospect in a Lab, it would be Ron Holland

To go along with his motor, skill, defense, size and veratlity, he's clearly got a nasty streak in him, too.

I also can't imagine what a HS team of him and AB would be like. They must have abosoluty mauled people.

This kid Holloway going to Auburn looks like a problem.

And I hope Lebron is willing to just let his son be a college kid because he looks like a good player. If he tries to fast track him to a career as a fringe NBA/G league player that would be a shame.

It was the guards jacking up threes or driving the lane mostly, he didn’t have much of a chance to show anything. Hotdog ball, whoever has the ball ain’t giving it up.

I wouldn’t put much stock in it.

Fall has a ton of potential and will play in the NBA......he will add something to the team for sure. I just hope the fans are a little more reasonable about how physically developed an 18 year old can possibly be.


As an example if we were scouting against fall we'd all want kamani to body the frick outta his skinny arse especially early in the season.

I personally hope muss enrolls him and kamani in a cage fighting class.
