I’d love for him to be back but I really hope that’s not the case. I don’t see how an Oats system works with just one guard, who’s not naturally a PG, bringing the ball up for us all year. Think about all our prior teams. Every team had multiple veteran guards we could plug and play.
Ewin is in the portal. Seems like he would have been a decent fit. Too bad he didn’t enter earlier.
If you go back and watch, Bathea was completely lost on defense. It was like the game was too fast for him. Picked up the wrong switch, was constantly looking for the right person to guard. Biz might get bodied, but he knows who to guard.

In other news, Mo D is joining Will Wade. Lost all my respect for that guy.
I’m out of the loop - what happened? Thought he sustained a leg injury and just missed too much time.

Also, how do we have so many players with medical conditions? Are we just more conservative about not playing them?
I watched a lot of Carolina basketball this year and last. Trimble is in the portal. He would be an amazing fit in an Oats system. Uber athletic and plays excellent defense. Would be an awesome get.
Not defending Bryne at all but honestly our recruits we landed couldn’t be cheap - 3 top 50 guys. Plus I’m sure we have a decent package put together to bring Allen back.

I think Oats and staff are likely looking for the right fit rather than throwing money at anyone in the portal. That being said, I hope we throw some money at Mingo and bring him here.
I wanted him too. Think it’s a sleeper pick up. He’s clutch and plays decent defense. Oh well.
Thinking we should reconsider what we are calling a disaster….
Kentucky lost out on Gwath two years in a row… oof. Gave poor Pope the nope.
Allegedly Malone is parting ways with Mingo. I know we were recruiting him at one point. Would be a good get and seems like a solid fit. I think he could do really well in our scheme. Good replacement for Philon.
Doubt we paid anywhere near that… seems like bullshite.

I wouldn’t put too much stock on any number, for any recruit, being thrown around right now. I’m sure some of the agents are throwing this out to help drive the price up for their clients.
Remind me why Claude’s name is so familiar? Did he commit to us at one point?
I know he’s been linked to Kentucky as of late but Magoon Gwath would be a good get for us. Averages 1.4 blocks per game and shot over 40% from 3. Seems like a better fit than Dak actually.
I hate losing him but I’m also realistic. He’s asking for $4m. Cal, Scheyer, and Izzo wouldn’t host him if they thought he was not athletic enough to be in the NBA. That’s a wild take.
He has an NBA future if he gets in shape and plays the 4 position. I don’t want to lose him, but Mike Malone is a decent fit as a coach. We asked him to play 5 all year. We were extremely limited there hence the Bediako experiment.

He could be great here, too, if we rotate between 4 and 5. We desperately need a 5 to give him flexibility between positions. Granted, still has to put the work in to get in shape.
Probably a big price tag for the uncertainty.

We need at least one PG, two 5s and probably a 4 as well.

I’m hoping we look at David Punch, Chol Macot, Moustapha Thiam, and still think BJ Davis could be a sneaky fit. Also, weren’t we final 3 for Zoom Diallo? Wonder if we look at him.
I’m 100% going to a few PC games this year. Not too far for me and happy to support Hodgson.
I don’t hold it against him if he goes to Michigan St. the same way I didn’t hold Stevenson for going to UNC. Speaking of players not progressing under a new coach.. probably a different stat line for him if he stuck it out with Oats and company…
I don’t blame Bradley for leaving considering the situation. Hard to say he got better at Arizona. We played him as a true freshman on a loaded team. Could make the argument he would have had better numbers if he stayed. Who knows.
Has anyone left a succeeded/surpassed their stats here?

I think people underestimate the Oats system. Damn short sighted decision but oh well.
Lol no clue mostly trolls I think.

I really hope we give him a look. Not sure how many programs are contacting him. He can drive, decent numbers from 3 and plays good defense. Seems like a perfect fit.
