Robert Morris starting PF transfers, great fit for us. Robert Morris gave much problem to Bama in first round. 14pts+9reb+3ast+41%3pt per game
- Thread starter chasingwildcat
- Start date
Haven't seen him play but his stats certainly mesh with what Pope wants.
Being a coach at a mid major must be maddening. You get a kid that can make your life easier after you developed him, and he leaves.
Talent always gets plucked. It’s extended into high school and probably middle school at this point.
Gotta suck
We could use him for 2 years, he even does not reach his peak yet.
Had 15+10 against Bama, he def can contribute in SEC.
Great fit for us...
Would like a player like this and then a physical PF or center to go with them
The way he moves in those clips is really reminiscent of Grant Nelson to me. He doesn’t quite have the same size as Nelson, but he appears to be a more consistent shooter. Seems like he’d be a really good fit to plug into Carr’s spot if we could get him.
He looks like combination of Nelson and Carr with smaller size, I will take it everyday
6-9 is enough for PF
Think he and Carr are already similar caliber player now
WE could use this guy just like how Florida uses Alex Condon... Really hope we can get him
Probably a good fit. Shoots well and passes well.
Probably needs to add some weight. 215 on a 6’9 frame is a little sleight for an SEC 4 man. Add 10 lbs. of muscle this summer and then we’re talking.
Overall, I like the upside. Two years of eligibility left.
He at least has tournament experience.

We’re interested in Lamar wilkerson. That would be a huge add man
Listed at 215 but looks bigger. Wouldn't surprise me if he's closer to 230 already.
4 man who can shoot, pass, rebound, defend. Player of the year for his conference, best player on a tournament team that competed with Bama.
Also this stat doesn't mean everything but he lead his conference in both offensive and defensive rating. Not many people across the country doing that.
He's a winning player.

NCAA also hurt mid majors even more by increasing the number of scholarships from 13 to 15.
It used to be that the focus was trying hard to land a McDee AA. The portal has changed recruiting so that McDees are a big deal, but not nearly as big as in the past. Now, landing the previously over looked player who starred at a mid-major is probably as big, if not more.
Have you heard anything about yaxel lendeborg or is he pretty much nba bound?
There are 3 or 4 good offensive mobile bigs that stand out to me. Any of them would do well in Pope's system IMO. Get a couple of them and a couple of guys that can play the 3 and a good 1.
When it comes to a Big man, we need to look at that assist stat. That is critical here, especially if BG is back. We need someone that can fill the role in the offense that Williams plays now. I don’t think BG will do that next season. I could be wrong, but he’s not as good in the high post as a distributor. We need a guy that is an accurate passer that can initiate the offense like Williams.
any one heard anything about the 6'10 from Davidson?
think his name is Reed
think his name is Reed
I like the game of both this kid and the German kid... Hannes Steinbach
Either of them look like they would be great replacements for Carr

Get Wilkerson, folguerias, Thomas/smith, a center and let’s throw in Williams from Tulane and let’s go
He looked really good in the video. Very mobile and agile. Can handle the ball. Would love to have him.
Looks like he can barely dunk based on highlights, but good Lord can he dish it and shoot it. Looks like he's solid defensively, too. Bring him on board!

I’d prefer Yaxel but if he heads to the draft or costs 3 million plus, then this Folgers guy works for me
Just watched the RMU vs. Bama game. Folgueiras got embarrassed a ton on defense. Held his own a couple times. Hoping it's more than just not having the athleticism to contest lob passes and PnR. Good fit for Pope, but we might want to get a shot blocking specialist at C.
Comparing six of the big men it seems that Cluff, Davidson and Folgueiras might be the better players overall.
Nick Davidson: 6-10 forward, 15.8 pts, 6.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 37% from the three.
Oscar Cluff: 6-10 center, 17 pts, 12 rebounds, 19 double doubles, #2 overall defensive ranking and top 40 offensive ranking.
Hannes Steinbach: 6-9.5, Fiba U18 averaged 16 pts, 13 rebounds, high motor, great hands and high IQ.
Reed Bailey: 6-10 forward, 18 pts, 6 rebounds, 41.5 three point shooter.
Owen Freeman: 6-10 245, 16.7 pts, 6.7 rebounds and 35 blocks before injury.
Alvaro Folgueiras: 6-9 215, 14.1 pts, 8.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 43.3 three point shooter.
Cluff really sticks out to me with his defensive ranking, rebounding ability and a fine offensive player. Steinbach is also intriguing with his offensive instincts, high motor and rebounding ability.
