That is fine, we need scorers. To be honest, I am ok with neither guy giving the ball up too much.Quote:

I would too. Murphy has NBA potential with his skill set and size. And to his defense was injured alot this season so that plays a part. I'd like to keep him around thoughQuote:

Need a good guard well over 6'0" in the mix. Worry about 5'10" & 5'11" on the court together against much taller opposition on both O & D.Quote:

We just do not need another rim protector that is going to clog the lane on offense like Tolu. Cam’s only offense is cuts to the goals and driving when he gets a head full of steam.Quote:

Iowa State, Washington State, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Louisville will all have completely new teams next year. Rutgers and UCF aren't far behind.
Any news on guys we losing/recruiting?
It will probably be quiet this week. Most coaches will be at the convention in Phoenix this weekend. I imagine everything will get kicked into overdrive next week. I would imagine that is when to expect news from Murphy, Moore, and any others we may lose.Quote:

Nice. Let's find a big now
That is the big one to keep. You can get people to come play with him. Glad he ended any speculation
It wouldn?t surprise me to see Hubbard average 20 a game next year.
Hubbard returning is paramount to success next year. We would have been shit without him this year.
Shakeel has entered the portal. Had to feel this was coming with Clary.
On paper, this trade seems like an upgrade. What do you experts think?Quote:

From an offensive standpoint it is a massive upgrade since Shak just refused to shoot from about January on this year. I will have to see how Clary's defense is to see how much of an overall upgrade it will be.Quote:

I watched a Penn State podcast about Clary after we picked him up and the hosts were saying his offense is good but he played no defense. With Clary and Hubbard in the back court together we have a chance to be explosive offensively but very limited defensively.Quote:

Definitely. Elite athlete and handle.Quote:

I'm not one of those guys to think that defense wins Championships, especially in college basketball because at the end of the day you have to go get buckets. But there are stretches in games that you have to really lock in on defense and get some stops and that's where we will be limited on the perimeter. As I've said numerous times I like the pickup of Clary alot... just voicing my concernsQuote:

Shak in the portal.
According to Robbie, State is very close to announcing some portal news.
There is a big out of Minnesota I saw some rumors about, I wasn't that impressed with his game thoughQuote:

That's pretty good production in limited action
Alijah Martin (FAU) is in the portal with a do not contact. Anyone know where he's going?
I just don't see him being an addition we need, he was a solid player but we need to replace Tolu, Bell and Jeffries.. I guess he could be a replacement for Jeffries, they are similar in size but we have to get some offensive post productionQuote:

It knocks it in the head. We should move on to football.Quote:
