Awesome get, we've been after him forever. Per Jason's other post, there's seemingly a logjam at the PG position and it's inevitable that we're going to see some transfers at the 1. We need some large SG that can also play the 3 next!

Yeah - that there is a logjam isn't a reason to be against getting a very talented guard. Seems like we should be set at PG for at least a few seasons. Definitely need more wing players.

Let's see if he actually makes it to campus and even when he does, will he be there his sophomore year. That's how I feel at this moment in recruiting and the transfer portal. Sad you can't even really get excited anymore about this kind of news.

Why? Does Baseball America think they Yankees are going to draft him and offer a zillion bucks to sign?

I'm also less excited. This used to mean we got to see a young person grow over 4 years. Now it means.....really....not much. They might come play for awhile. Might not.

I like our chances much better with Stack and guys like West than with coach 20-losses-in-a row.

Me too, but that is setting the bar on the floor. I'd like to see us consistently make the tournament and there is a pretty large distance between 2019 and that.

But the distance from barely losing in the 3rd round NIT at Xavier after beating Belmont and Dayton....to making the big dance which I think is about to happen.... it's not that far of a stretch except for the most hard core bryce drew loving Stack-haters. And they do exist.

And they are irrelevant minority, like the people who wanted CKS fired following the 2008 season.

That we made the NIT is what is a little frustrating - we are really close to making the tournament (and turning the corner), but two of the players who were critical to us getting that far are gone, and we've replaced them with a ton of uncertainty. Getting a solid SG would have made us a lock for the tournament - we may still make it but an injury to Wright would likely mean we will struggle. Zero proven depth at the 2 and 3 beyond Wright. That is the issue, not some goober who pines for a coach we fired 3 seasons ago. This is what 95% of the board is going over right now.

Dunno, man. Looks like he just landed Kevin Durant.
