miles deserves some blame here. jordy wanted out back in january, and miles essentially pleaded for him to stay. the team was playing better without jordy in the starting lineup anyways.

 

and now here we are in late july without a legitimate big guy. brady is barely 200 pounds and borchardt is a 3rd string center at best.

 

unless miles can pull off a evan taylor type signing, this is a bad start to the 18-19 season.

Would you like to still have Jordy on the team?

True dat; but we are sort of are in that you "reap what you sow" paradigm.  We have had players leave, at least in part, due to advice of handlers, parents or friends; but we have also been on the receiving end of that revolving gift by receiving players such as Petteway,  Palmer, Copeland, Burke, ecetera.

 

The other advice is provided as well, and we may be the beneficiary of that "work harder" advice; if the stories I have heard about Glynn and Isaiah are true.

 

I guess it is the nature of our current society, like it or not.

Scott Frost has a lot of guys leave too.  Basketball is different but still if a player’s main priority isn’t winning then the team will be better off without them. It’s ok to want to be successful, but self above team usually doesn’t work.

Yes.  My take of your post was Miles messed up by not getting rid of him, but since he didn’t we are stuck with two big men that aren’t D1 ready players.  So We could have had a grad transfer or we should still have Jordy.  Comparing what those two bring us to what grad transfer big men have brought us I’ll take two guys that fill their roles and help the team.

Its a small sample size, but im pleased with our front court so far.

 

Roby and Copeland are dudes. And Tanner and Brady seem capable of getting a combined 15-18 min a night when needed.

As opposed to having three of them if he were here?

Another big man would provide the option to RS Brady, which could pay off down the road.

[uneblinstu]

Would it pay off in March?

I forgot has Jordy landed at a school yet?

Dayton or Davidson with his brother I think.

Goodness, hard to believe this thread is still kicking around.  By the way, Jeriah Horne was a member of Jordy's recruiting class (with Isaiah) and here are his current stats at Tulsa:

 

SEASON	TEAM	MIN	FGM-FGA	FG%	3PM-3PA	3P%	FTM-FTA	FT%	REB	AST	BLK	STL	PF	TO	PTS
2018-19	TLSA	21.0	2.5-6.5	.385	0.5-3.0	.167	2.0-2.0	1.000	3.0	0.5	0.5	0.5	2.5	2.0	7.5

 

So, would we rather have Jeriah or Nana backing up the 3-4 position this year?

I wouldn't mind having them both...

Good to know!

[Fullbacksympathy]

1.  I'm glad we are rolling out what is, perhaps, our most talented team ever.  

 

2.  I'm glad our former bench (or doomed to be bench) players are getting good minutes contributing elsewhere.  

 

3.  1 + 2 = TM is a miracle recruiter.

He might have been Kenya Hunter's first recruit
