I'd be open to that. I'd take Leslee in a heartbeat on this team. But it also ties up a scholie for next year too. I think the guy from Colorado wouldn't be terrible. He'd be similar to Jordy and be able to give us competent minutes over Borchardt. He's not great but he's better than Okeke and/or Abraham. I think the UMASS guy would be a nice get too. Shot blocker and finisher. Not much of a shooter. That's fine. We already have scorers, we need a guy who can finish when he gets the opportunity.

Dont mind that idea. Still would like a capable post to allow Copeland and Roby to play their more natural positions

Our true posts are Jordy and Borchardt. So yeah...a role player is more than enough. Also think we have a bit more to sell this year. Usually grad transfer guys want to win. We potentially return the majority of the parts from a 22-win, 4th place Big 10 team. Our angle can easily be that we have a ton of parts that we can surround him with and that guy is the missing piece.

Personally, I like Johnson's quickness and explosiveness. Not that Amir isn't, just that I think Johnson's is elite. I'm also a little hesitant to buy in when guys have freakish measurables for their position. 6'5 point guards, 6'3" corner backs, 6'6" wide receivers.....of course thatd be great to find.....but everyone else is looking for that too.

Were not that lucky

Johnon better. This is a good fallback get. Credit to miles for closing quickly in a bad deal

It should be a grad transfer big man regardless

Liked X better but we need a PG and he has length and athleticism. If you’re going to be a subpar shooter, you better have those two things and he does. Under the circumstances it’s a solid get if he truly is 6-5 and has the handles and fluidity to play point, it’s a tough variable for a lot of college teams. Allows you to get creative with some zone looks too because of the length offensively, if his shot is as questionable as it’s made out to be, we’ll need to surround him with shooters, which has been easier said than done but he can be functional with his ability to get in the paint and work on smaller guards

All for a grad transfer big. Guard or wing, go freshmen unless he’s a lights out shooter

Nice

You're right. Was thinking he only had one year at Louisville.

I like the chemistry between Gates and Lewis, or at least the appearance of. That matters. Impressive hire considering the situation

Never said I blamed Miles. I actually agree with him on passing on him the third time around. I also wasn't the one who randomly brought Agau's name into the conversation either.

Believe Akoy was a 4th year junior last year. And I wasn't comparing careers. I was comparing seasons, which was the OP's question when bringing Agau into it.

Which is quite a bit more than Duby here and on par (slightly more points, slightly fewer rebounds) with Jordy

Depends on expectations. Far more productive than Okeke here and on par with Jordy

You can oversign by one. And I’m guessing Miles has an idea on what might shake out

I don't view Borchardt's scholie as one that should be permanent. And not everyone has come back yet.

Guessing our open scholies have better work ethic and play better defense than Wingett

Assuming Teddy wants to come. And it didn't have to be one or the other.

Disappointing. We have room for open scholarships, random international players and transfers who will sit a year to a play one, maybe two but not a top notch scorer from our home state

He did need another year. Then again, not sure that open scholie and/or Thor was worth the backlash and not having him

In hindsight, should’ve just kept him

Offer him

No
