Roll with what we have and bring in bench players. Perry and Lewis can rotate in and out at the one
Oweh and Collin at the two
Jasper and Kam at the three
Garrison and Mareno is the four and five
Just need a one or two more for bench pieces
Magoon returns to sdsu
- Thread starter chasingwildcat
- Start date

Garrison as our starting center is a scary thought.
So who are the top post targets now?
Folgueiras
Lendeborg
Bailey
Bol Bowen
Anyone else?

I even rather put Moreno as starting center than garrison
I really think it's the only explanation for stuff like this. Pope runs a fun system, everyone seems to love him, this team all said they loved it here. The only missing piece that jumps out is the NIL, even though people keep saying it's good. And UNC's is supposed to be pretty bad, so if there's can be there's zero reason ours can't be in a similar spot.
And it seems like in the beginning everyone said all this NIL spending would come crashing down to earth after a few years, but so far it the numbers just keep going up. If our NIL was good last year or the year prior that doesn't mean it's good currently if we haven't kept up.
Then we have a problem. We are UK not some MAC school.
You have to win bidding wars to get the best players that's the game in 2025.
I have a gut feeling we will land that Indiana guy
If so, I will feel very pissed
But I just think this may actually happen
Agree, but we cannot lose him if we do not sign an upgrade!
Garrison would probably transfer if he’s not getting starters minutes is my concern
Mgbako does not excite me at all. I’m not in panic mode, but I expected we might have more than one commit by now. I do like Kam Williams a lot though.
Hope we can finish the week with something positive.
We did great last season with a bunch of not so highly ranked transfer players, but the writing was on the wall all year long that we had glaring weaknesses. Pope is going to have to bring in some elite talents or we are going to be capped at how far we can go again.
Aaron Torres doesn't know shit.
Like I said before, if the sky ain’t falling, you ain’t in Big Blue Nation.
Sometimes I swear we should change our name from Wildcats to Chicken Littles!
Sheesh!

Your chicken little ass is always “concerned”
The coach literally said it.
If you want him bad enough you pay him a number he can't refuse.
You can't lose battles to SDSU. That's outrageous.
Him and cornbread are the same person. Just put them on ignore. Makes the board a bit more enjoyable.
We may very well end up fine, but I think this will be looked at as an impactful miss. He seemed to be a perfect fit for our offense and is an elite defender to boot.
Following and chatting about the kentucky wildcats basketball. If we were playing this Saturday. I be following and chatting about that.
Thanks for posting this. We didn't lose a bidding war, he just wanted to stay where he was for less money.
Definitely one that makes you a little concerned but I hope some good news is on the way cause it’s seems the staff & bbn could use it.
Well it pisses me off to be lied about. Would it bother you?
Again, this is why I don't love the "insiders" doing the "done deal" talk, because things can and will fall through. Just setting unrealistic expectations and making things harder than they need to be for the staff.
A committment from the Indiana forward that seems like a bad fit will not inspire much confidence, and I think that's coming next. I'm willing to see how this all plays out, though.

We HAVE to try for elite rim protection….there is no way you watch that Bama/Duke game and think anything other than…”wow if you stop teams from getting layups, it’s REALLY hard for them to hit enough perimeter shots to beat you.” Pope’s system requires either elite shooting or elite passing from the Center and that really really hard to find with a rim protector.
I hate that it is like we all were played, Its not our staffs fault, but an agent or someone was bullsh*tting big time, things dont go from done to nope that fast. But , what I saw from Moreno , I'm perfectly fine with him, Folgers and god please Yaxel, at that point Garrison can stay and get their mop up minutes if he wants . I wanted Magoon but not really that much for this coming year, it was his upper classmen year/s that I wanted, who knows we might be able to still get that but after this upcoming season.
You guys need to find Jesus and not trilly.
