Now all we need is a closer.

[catben]

Whether it’s Jaxon Robinson or someone else. We have everything else now. With the roster our coaching staff has assembled, it shouldn’t be hard to find a Go-To-Guy.

WHO are the possible dudes that could fill that role???

 

[BleedBlue13]

I feel like Wells, Robinson, or a Peterson reclass would be the best options and any of those will require some patience

 

[Beamin Steamin]

All those role players definitely need a go to scorer.

 

[shaudyshaud]

Hopefully Robinson or Peterson

 

[BleedBlue13]

We may see one more guy soon but it’s June 16th to withdraw from nba draft and middle of July for reclass announcements. I imagine the last couple spots remain vacant for a while

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Any of the names suggested sound good to me.

Any of those names will also push another player to the bench.

 

[Ripcord65]

Hopefully Robinson or Peterson

Shaudy ... What about Kadary Richmond from Seton Hall ?

Shaudy ... What about Kadary Richmond from Seton Hall ?

I don’t know much about him . I’ve heard his name through the season though . That wouldn’t be a bad option either .


I reallyyy want us to land Peterson . Even though he’s young he has such a mature game .

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Robinson or Peterson, or a longshot with Lanier

 

[lazycat75]

All those role players definitely need a go to scorer. All them roll players? Explain I don't understand

 

[TM2013]

Add Robinson, Poplar or someone similar and this team has everything it needs to be a title contender.

 

[jwm24_2000]

Need a combo guard who can shoot and get to the basket, hell honestly Chandler and Perry could be that guy, don't know yet. Would love to have Robinson and another big that could give a few minutes if our bigs get into foul trouble. I believe Carr, Williams, and Garrison take most of the bulk of minutes at 4 and 5. Another big who can stretch the floor would be huge on this team.

 

[catfan220]

I wonder if we get maybe one more guy within the next week, probably a back-up PF type player, and then things settle down for a while. Then maybe one or two more late decisions from guys withdrawing from the draft, or lower tier multi-year players with potential, etc. Possibly even a late HS de-commit.

Among the NBA guys -- Robinson and then Wells are the obvious candidates.

By the way, is the deadline for the transfer portal at midnight eastern time? Pacific time? Anyone know?

 

[catfan220]

Add Robinson, Poplar or someone similar and this team has everything it needs to be a title contender.

I think we need one more big body, a backup PF ideally like Garrison, ie high potential and multiple years to play. (in addition to what you said)

 

[bucsrule8872]

Give me Peterson. He is exactly what we need to go with the experience we have: an elite athlete.

I know we are sick of hearing about elite Freshmen talent after the last 15 years, but it’s not like we are going to rely on Freshmen. One stud Frosh might be exactly what we need.

 

[kybloo92]

I'm all for Robinson and having a guy like him that knows Pope's system has its benefits.

 

[BStockfan01]

If we get peterson cal will kick his dog down the road and burn the stroller

 

[Justwantadecentteam]

I say pickup a couple players, with a chance to move up the roster after the 24/25 season. Most of the players we got coming in will only be here, for 1 season, so building 25/26 season needs to start now, so we don't have to do another complete rebuild again.

 

[Ripcord65]

Who's to say that Kobe Brae can't be your go-to guy ? Shoots 49% from 3 ! He gets 6 points out of every 4 shots !
Is he just not a guy who can get his shot any time he wants one ?

 

[Aike]

Would like to grab a bucket getter. Similar to 2022 when we could beat anyone, but still could have used someone like Shaedon Sharp.

That being said, I still contend that Chandler will be far better this year than most seem to be expecting. 3 level scorer who will be 21 years old. Pretty sure he hasn’t been living in a cave these past two years. Doubt the rust will last all year.

 

[MbergCat]

Not gonna lie, I'd love to see a Jasper Johnson reclass to UK.

 

[Snarks0]

Still need 1 or 2 elite guys. Have some solid guys but no stars.
