It's Juke Harris from Wake. Would be an insane get.

sure would like to see at least one portal piece announced today 
Posted on 4/8/26 at 7:37 am to ElDawgHawg
No one committed yesterday anywhere, this isn't free agency with a bunch of day 1 signee's.

Right. There's going to be some exceptions, but a lot of these dudes are at least going to want to visit the school they're committing to. Maybe we see some action over the weekend.

Crazy how fast we went from in the driver’s seat on Somto to out of the running. Maybe we were never really in the driver’s seat

It seems to me that no one is really in the driver's seat before the portal opens. You can tamper, premptively agree to deals, etc. But once the portal opens, all it takes is one team willing to overpay and you're done.
I just wish we'd be the ones overpaying a big for once

Sylla >>>>>
That's why. Same player but much higher upside for Sylla. Better athlete and better fit.

Trills says Arkansas will go after BYU PG Rob Wright
Posted on 4/8/26 at 9:35 am to Woopigsooie20
Interesting. Wright doesn't seem like he would want to be a depth guy on any roster. Wonder what this means for Thomas? I guess I was hoping to hear some good news on bigs we are targeting. Not saying I don't want Wright, just seems strange at the moment. Wright got 3.5mil from BYU it appears.

I think even if Thomas stays you still need another true PG with the team we have. JSJ can play off the ball and I see JJ and Toure as GF combo types. Leek kinda a true 2 also so unless you want JSJ to be the primary ball handler I think you need to sign another PG now that DJ is gone.
That said.... it doesn't matter much if we can't upgrade the front court.

I agree, we for sure need another PG. But Wright is gonna cost and you'd think we could get a solid depth piece PG in the portal that costs less. We need to go all in on bigs, IMO.

I heard on a podcast that we were looking at the PG from Colorado (Johnson?) and it looked promising.... don't know a lot about him other than he's smallish at 6-1 but a good 3 pt shooter as far as percentage. Led them in scoring I think.

Hard fact is that DJ Wagner is better than anyone we're likely to attract/afford.
I'd rather see us invest in a couple nasty bigs and let these very talented guards work together. Three all american level 2/3 guys should be just fine without a 'true' PG. Once we have bigs, sure...try for a solid PG if you want.
Earlier I posted that Cal will use resources for guards first then bigs. That equals a really fun team to watch and a Sweet 16 or Elite 8 loss every year when we run into teams with a frontcourt.

that fact isn't as much fact, as hard opinion. He was good, not great. We can do better fwiw.
