Who will replace Wong and Portal analysis (video)

[gogeta4]

Did we ever show interest int he guard from ST FRANCIS?.

Thats 1 i like

 

[Gables Canes]

We need to get on this Clarence Daniels kid from New Hampshire, if we aren’t already.

 

[jkdood]

Did he light one up ?

Close... he went to JR house for dinner and to look over some contracts, and the power went out.

Summary:

Mostly softball questions at first.

Rightful praise for Zay. One of the greatest players at UM. Great work ethic. Kept referring to tremendous attitude.

Says we have 9 on scholarship. But I count 8. Says reevaluating transfer portal daily.

When pressed on backcourt, only mentioned Benz, Wooga and Nijel. Two interpretations: either he’s not sold on Watson and/or Jakai or it’s more historical upperclassman bias. Looking to add “one” to backcourt either way.

L leans on assistants for portal evaluations/targets. They need to fit his criteria.

Sounds like Nijel, Wooga Norchad are returning. No guarantees though. Walker/Aire/Danilo returning never brought up.

No mention of portal names (obviously).

“Recent success” breeds success in the portal. Nothing specific though.

We have 7 enolled:
PG - Pack, Joseph
SG - Poplar, Robinson
SF - Watson
PF - Omier, Casey
C -

And 1 incoming Frosh
C - Nwoko

An understatement, the 23-24 team needs an infusion of depth and talent.

Yup. I included Nwoko in the 8.

But I can see Danilo coming back. A 4 and 1 backcourt help are musts.

Of the players who hit the Portal (Danilo, Walker, Bev and Aire), no way of knowing which ones we wanted to keep but left voluntarily, which ones got a little nudge toward the door, and which decisions to leave were mutually arrived at.

This thread is the only piece of info I’ve seen linking us to Cleveland in a meaningful way. Really hope that comes true…

Not a very encouraging interview. He says at the end “Our assistants better come up with a few guys”.

 

[Stan The Bat]

Glad to see these discussions of mens basketball. We need more of them.

I'm not convinced. He would kill our spacing

Is Robbie Beran just the american Ivan Cruz Uceda?

Doesn't look like it

I must’ve missed something with Cleveland. Any time I watched him I thought he had a pretty good jump shot and was a nice player. But maybe I didn’t watch enough of his games
