Cam Johnson officially released from Pitt

[Jaker]

Tilmon wants a release from his commitment with illinois. We should be after him as well.

most think he's going to mizzou

I mean mizzou only has so many scholarships, right?... everyone seems to be going there these days. All the turnover at mizzou after next season is going to be a thing to see!

I can't believe anyone really wants to go to Misery.

 

[tzznandrew]

It's like peanut butter ANYTHING and ketchup.

I've done the August_West edit for you; we can all laugh or something and perhaps we can now avoid this derailing into a conversation about rappers' favorite condiments or wherever this may go.

Back on track: I get the sense he can look at our roster and see possibility. The core four we have are really good and KO can plop down a ring from this conference.

 

[kansashusky]

This has been in the works for awhile.

 

[Jaker]

We should make Rip our closer.

 

[intlzncster]

If we get 3 of Blake Harris, Cam Johnson, Mamoudou Diarra, Kanter, Mamukelashvili that would completely negate the transfers and MAL.

Negate? It would be a massive upgrade.

 

[intlzncster]

Their saying he graduated as a junior

Fantastic APR guy. Sign him up!

 

[auror]

Honest question....Is he a boneyard pipe dream or is there a connection that makes this a real possibility?

No inside info, but I would be shocked if we landed him.

 

[intlzncster]

I don't know if KO can be that convincing, especially in light of all the defections.

Time to make the Donuts Chilli.

 

[Chief00]

This is one they can't afford to miss out on. We won't have to compete with ACC schools, and we have a gaping hole for him to suck up 30 min of PT. Oz made it seem like the staff is prioritizing him, hopefully that's the truth.

Oz is right about that.

No it wouldn't. I don't care that Durham only averaged 2 points and 2 rebound per game. Losing him completely diminishes the ceiling of next years team in a way that a low-end four star recruit and <20 MPG grad transfer can't undo.

Johnson would be a huge get but he isn't filling the gaping hole we have in the middle and I suspect he will see that and head elsewhere.

Does the loss of Steve Enoch and Juwan Durham leave a gaping hole?
They were the gaping hole.

I like their potential but they are replaceable.

The love affair with Juwan Durham on this board is absolutely absurd. Did he show flashes that he could be a good player? Yes. That doesn't make him irreplaceable. He was essentially a non-factor all season long. If the injuries are the excuse, I don't buy that he'll ever be a great player. He's not the first guy to tear an ACL and he had plenty of recovery time to show more than he did.

This is soooo far off. Lol. Juwan was not that good last yr and wasnt going to be that much of a game changer next yr. He was not this "inside pressence" you speak of. Because he was a 6'10 bean pole who wasnt good off or def. Sophmore Juwan Durham is easily replaceable

Id actually argue that both diarras are exact replacements.

The point isn't that Juwan was good, but that he had a very high ceiling, which raised the ceiling of the team.

He made about two good plays this season.

I just may see one problem, Kentucky!

A high ceiling, yes. For next year!?! I dont buy it

 

[Walker11]

A high ceiling, yes. For next year!?! I dont buy it

Unfortunately, we will never know. He clearly wasn't impressive this past year but I won't forget that video of him giving Tony Bradley work. Back to back acl's is no joke (see Giles, the one time top recruit in this loaded class) but there is a lot of talent in there somewhere.

It was two torn ACLs back to back

Even more reason to believe that he's replaceable
