We cleared him to play and he didn?t feel like he was ready (or his ?doctors?/handlers) and he just left. Nothing more nothing less. We took a gamble on a kid that had issues in the past and got burned.Quote:

Another SEC team is making a big push for Nwoko and has offered him a nice deal.
I mean you can replace 6 pts and 5 rebounds pretty easily. Nwoko is a nice piece but he still has a lot of development to do.Quote:

I'd like Warren back. Small deal with no promises of playing time. I think he has potentialQuote:

Murphy this year was a worse version of Tolu last year. Nwoko this year was a worse version of Murphy last year. Agree I'd like another year of Murphy - I really would love him and Hubbard to figure out the PnR. That duo should be damn near unstoppable next year.Quote:

He's raw but hopefully can give us good defensive presence.Quote:

Wasn't Eric Paymon from Raymond last years' POY for Mississippi? 4 star 6'9" 245# who redshirted this year? I mean, surely Jans didn't miss on him.Quote:

That's the role I see him filling.Quote:

We need more Danny Green types. Easier said than done.
It's like how Hubbard is the miles better player than Kugel but Kugel has way better pro trajectory.
I will start updating later today the players we have been in contact with and adding them to the list. Just a couple to keep an eye on right now.
Jaylen Sellers-G-UCF
Ja’Borri McGhee-G-UAB
Sellers is in the portal. I would expect McGhee in within the next couple of days.
Kugel could be a quintessential 3 and D guy if he would tailor his game to that. He is still trying to operate as a primary option instead of a 3 and D type player. And the thing is, Kugel would be our first ACTUAL 3 and D guy. We tried to make Melendez and Jeffries that but they just are not those types of players. If Kugel can accept that role he can make a difference for us and make himself some really money in the NBA because that is what he will be in the NBAQuote:

Why did sellers only play 3 games?Quote:

I don't know where but I read he was headed to an SEC school so this could be correct.Quote:

Hopefully we can sign Josh Dix and Themus Fulks! That would be fun on TV and for other teams student sections!
So that sparks a thought. We've always heard that roughly 40% of those who enter the portal never land at a new school. But intuitively it's likely a much lower percentage for SEC players? Meaning a much higher percentage are sought after and actually have a pretty good idea where they'll land. Has anybody seen an actual figure for the SEC?Quote:

Yeah this is the 100% correct answer.Quote:

MJ flashed some potential. Interested to see where he ends up.
My guess is mid major. Somewhere like Samford, UNA, or Lipscomb.Quote:
