Trazarien White into the portal

[cbrwalt]

Would be a huge get


And it's an awesome name

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Get this kid to go with Osboro and those are your two major shot takers next year. Surround them with guys like Saunders and Carr, and you've already got a second weekend team.

UNC Wilmington's Trazarien White in portal

A woman who seemingly covers CAA hoops says Kentucky, UConn and Texas should be the "major favorites." Take it for what it's worth. She doesn't have many followers but seems reliable. Another name to the list...

We know he’s super comfortable shooting in Rupp. Get him to LEX!

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

This guy is good.

 

[Coach Marrow]

It worked for Ray Davis on the football side.

Don't sleep on Chandler.

Must get

I believe he's going to be great eventually, but probably a rotation piece off the bench all or most of next season - and that is very important to winning also. The fact that he's 20 instead of 18 makes a difference, but he hasn't played in 2 years. I think it'll take some time to get him playing close to his potential. On the other hand, I also don't think he'll stay in college more than a couple of years, so we need to at least get a great sophomore season out of him.

Yes.

That only applies to our opponents.

I’m actually not wild about him even if he did light us up last year. He’s a fairly ball dominant player who took the most shots on that team by a good margin while having a negative assist to turnover ratio. He also takes a ton of mid-range shots and doesn’t make enough of them to justify it (33% on 143 non-rim 2s according to Torvik). Doesn’t really seem like a great fit for what we’re trying to do in my opinion.

Appreciate the good analysis. This is the kind of good basketball stuff I come to this board for.

Doesn’t seem UK is pursuing him, for whatever reason.

Kentucky needs dudes and this is a dude. You get him on campus and coach him up to a team specific role later.

UK has reached out to him.

Per Joe Tipton of On3

 

[JonathanW]

Definitely worth bringing in

Yeah I tend to agree with you. Go back and watch the highlights of that UK game. Scored majority of his points on layups in isolation on Edwards or Mitchells typical uninspired defense. Edward’s man D on him was unbelievably putrid that game.

He'd be a good 6th man. He actually came off the bench to smoke us in Rupp.

That’s promising quote from him

[cats#1again]

He's a player

 

[crawfords corner]

Sophomore year

19 points 7 boards against UNC. Took 9 free throws.
19 points 3 boards against OK. Took 6 free throws
2 points in 16 minutes against UConn.


Junior

27 and 10 boards against Kentucky. Took 13 free throws
28 and 5 boards against Arkansas. Took 15 free throws.

34 points and 15 boards in 2 games against Amari Williams and Drexel last season.


5 games against top 6 conferences in last 2 seasons and averaged 19 points and 5 rebounds. Sure it's a small sample size, but he passes the eye test.

 

[TX-Wildcat]

Looks like Calipari University didnt make the cut:



Solid top 3 for him. He earned my respect in Rupp.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I wanted this kid. I guess Pope feels good about Robinson returning. Both are small forwards.

That's the problem. A lot of these dudes want to know their roles upfront.

Sounds familiar to every Cal recruit.

 

[kyboy1998]

Looks like Trazarien plays like Jane. Don’t need him.
