Few roster/portal tidbits

[Peter Ariz]

-Tre Donaldson pickup is really solid. I have a tough time seeing a scenario where Jaland Lowe from Pitt also comes

-Penciling in Ernest Udeh, Jr as Miami’s starting center next season

-Divine Ugochukwu return is NOT on the table unless something changes.

-As of now, I see it being a Jalil Bethea OR Matthew Able situation. Still in the mix for Able and Bethea has interest in returning. But it won’t be both in all likelihood. Let’s see what happens

-AJ Staton-McCray one to watch in terms of staying. I feel like it’s trending towards his return

 

[TwentySix]

I’ll be curious if they’ll play try to pair Donaldson with more of a true point. I haven’t watched a ton of Michigan games but he struck me as more of a combo guard.

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

I'll take my chances with Able

 

[Cane44]

was gonna ask, who do we think we'd get the most value out of between able and bethel??

Bethea would need a big jump. On the court and his effort/attitude. Hopefully coach Lucas could get him to buy in

 

[Gables Canes]

I'd rather Able than Bethea. I want to rid the stench of last season as much as possible.

 

[casualcane]

Moran would help Jalil. Not to mention Coach Lucas would be able to in all likelihood connect with him.

I could see a significant improvement over last year happening. Ofc, that wouldn't be limited to him staying here

Need more firepower though don’t we? Those 3 are an awesome start of course but we need a strong SG here

We have 3 people on the team. Yes, we will need more. Unless they are joining Ice Cube's league.

Any shot at RJ Luis? Ties to Moran’s AAU team and he’s the prize of the portal at this moment

I like our chances in the Unrivaled league

Don’t think we are in the mix for him and that’s been confirmed by the insiders on this board.

Saw him play a few times. Not much of an offensive weapon but he picks his shots wisely. Mostly dunks and putbacks. Okay rebounder for his size. Decent shot deterrer/blocker. Not super athletic. He's a space eater and not a lot more. More physical than Kidd but less offensive talent.

He was top 10 in rebounding in the Big 12 this past year

Yea at 7.5. Not mind-blowing. Would rather see that closer to 10. He'll probably get close with more minutes here.
