Title needs to be 2026 recruiting, not 2027.

I would be surprised if Liam gets much PT this year. Obviously Charlotte isn’t the most talented team, but they are quite deep now especially at the wing positions. I think he needs to become a much better shooter if he wants to earn consistent minutes in the NBA.

I don’t think that tea leaf means anything. Hadn’t really seen an indication that we were pushing for him very hard.

Never seemed like a UConn fit. Was surprised he visited.

Where you seeing this?

Where you seeing that?

I hear you - but it’s a lot easier to sell now than it would have been to Steph at the time.

Wasn’t counting Mullins in the 5…but yes he is in the group of likely gone which would get it up to 8 or 9. Koroma and Millender are also seniors without eligibility left. Solo and Silas could both end up being gone. If they’re both back, Mingo could end up playing that Castle type role as a...

Eh - maybe yes, maybe no. Tom is quoted as saying our recruiting strategy is to go after one major blue chip kid each class, and he seems to fit the bill here (despite Landrew rising significantly lately). His game is perfect for Hurley and he could easily play with Landrew and County. Not that...

Where did you see this from Finkelstein?

Yup. Wanted him but between NC State being the hometown team and the Will Wade bag, was just too much to compete with.

It does but we knew this a week ago.

I mean…why’s he using 15 scholarships then? He definitely didn’t have to take the last two international guys he took.

I initially thought 4 but I actually think it’s 5. AK Tarris Malachi Koroma Millender All out of eligibility. Then you have 3 guys who could potentially go early to the league in Braylon, Solo, and Silas. I’d venture to guess we end up with 7-8 spots available.

Yeah I'm not sure if I agree with this. County and Landrew are nice players but neither are at the level of Mingo....who is at the Steph/Liam/Braylon level of recruit. We absolutely should still be going after Mingo even if we get both of these guys.
