Would love to get him. He reminds me a little bit of my all time favorite, Jamal Mashburn

I'll text Pope and let him know. He might not be aware of this guy. On it.
So, do you call him by his first name or his last name?
I wonder if he knows how close Richmond is to Lexington? It's just not possible to not be good and have a PER of 30.
We might have to commander Vandy's "Achor Down" for when he crushes an opponent.I saw what you did there.
HUGE! I think it would be damn near the perfect get!
Agree completely. I try not to get too caught up in hyperbole but he would likely push us into top 5, 1/2 seed territory next season imo
Well if you want this kid, you better fork over half the money you have to the NIL . for him to come for just 20 minutes a game and for Carr , Williams, and Garrison to accept 20 minutes a game its going to take a lot more NIL for it not to devolve into locker room frustration.
Yeah, I just wonder what this would do for Williams given what Pope just went through to get him to stay. Is he going to have to meet with him again if we land Achor?
Williams is a true center as far as I can see. I also see Achor as a stretch four. I don't know that there'd be any issue there since I think Williams will get his biggest push from Garrison.
And then Garrison and Carr ? this all depends on if Pope sold those guys on 20 minutes a game or not.
Is this post serious? Achor is a PF who is out there shooting 3’s. He and Carr would split time. This would be akin to Williams being mad that we signed a point guard. Totally different positions.
My granddaughter plays at Samford. I have seen him numerous times. A player for someone.
Yes, it was a serious post. I don't think Williams should be bothered by it given that I think it is C vs. PF positions but given what the simple commitment of Garrison did, it just made me wonder. Not the same in comparing a point guard to one of the big positions (PF/C). By all means, I'd love to add Achor!
Pope was team captain and averaged 20 minutes a game in '96. Not saying the minutes shaking out that way will work here in this situation, but it's possible.
It looks like it's pretty easy for Pope to promise 20 minutes a game based on his history. Just looking at his last 3 years, he played a lot of guys (8-9) about 20 minutes and I think a number of others got 10 min./game. He plays a lot of guys.
but when Carr was the first 4 taken, was he told it would only be 20 mpg or did he think he was playing 26 or so. That can be a big deal to many players
I have edited my post in this thread, so scroll up to that
Yeah, I obviously don't know what any of these guys are expecting. I also don't even really know why Pope plays so many guys - is it his guys expend so much energy? I don't know, probably because I didn't watch BYU every game like I did with UK.
Williams played 22 minutes per game at Drexel last year.

Carr has at least heard about the beating MP laid on Williams; he'll keep his mouth shut.
I’m gonna name my next kid Burrito Burrito.
I think Pope already reminded him of that. lolWilliams played 22 minutes per game at Drexel last year.

Would people rather add Watkins or achir with Robinson, or get poplar and Robinson and go all out shooting. I lean option 2 because we have defensive pieces, but I think it doesn’t matter. I can’t see players like Archor or Watkins coming here to split time
I like Achor and Robinson but couldn’t really go wrong with any 2 of those 3, I suppose
