How was Karaban in any way related to Adams? As to centers, I am expecting international or next year's portal. I think Favour Ibe is a third center that could help us from the 2026 class but it seems we must not be involved.

I don't remember the clip, but after watching, isn't it obvious we should have been playing Abraham? (I'm joking but he did look better in the clip than in the high school games I watched)

In this clip Jacob Ross certainly looks offensively like he has something to offer. At this point I don't recognize Dwayne Koroma unless his number is visible. Was he in these clips? I hated noting several of these shots were over Solo and the cut to the basket on the inbounds seemed it was...

Having kids come in without a clear path to as much playing time as they hope for has always been a challenge but it is going to depend on the kids whether there is a starting point guard or 2 centers already on the roster. We will have 3 point guards on our team this year that were major D1...

Tristan Reed's listing at #96 in the rankings is 6'9. No idea if that is accurate. I probably watched the same game because he was a beast when I saw him.

I have liked Mingo & Rippey but the Rippey ship has sailed. I think Mingo would be a great get but I can understand him being less of a priority with Demary here. On the other hand, Demary's impact here is assumed, as is his staying in place for a second year. If he has as big an impact as we...

I missed this if posted but it is listed on BC's schedule

Pretty tough call Okafor National Defensive Player of the Year in 2002-03 AND 2003-04 Thabeet National Defensive Player of the Year 2007-08 AND 2008-09 Clingan 2x National Champion & dominant The only way I parse this defensively to pick one guy is based on Thabeet's imposing size

Physically he is almost exactly like Stewart when Stewart played Peach Jam at +20lbs more than he has been in college. They are slightly different in that Landrew uses a bit more creativity getting to the basket, where Stewart initiated offense for his team as a primary ball handler. When we...

unusual highlights. Ahead of the field a half dozen times and laid the ball in vs the spectacular dunk.

There have been several backup centers that have committed this month to teams that already have centers on their rosters, Oregon a couple of days ago a 6'11 250lb Nigerian center playing in a Turkish league with athleticism and talent but with a starter in place and other bigs on the roster...

Haven't you been following the narrative? We are all set at center regardless of any potential injuries or foul trouble. I've been told repeatedly not to be concerned. Just a minor situation, sit out 2 weeks and all will be well. For sure nothing similar could happen during the season, and...

Pretty in depth detail rather than just a list. A good walk back memory lane. Conference realignments and loss of amateurism are as big as it gets. Including a detailed recap of North Carolina getting away with academic fraud is satisfying to me. Covid affects and mentions of the FBI...

Excellent analysis. Rather than spend any time watching Samuels play, get a quick read by watching his sister play. I could have saved some time. Clearly it follows Cooper Flagg's brothers must be as good as him, if their games are anywhere near the same. I very seldom belittle a poster's...

In the last couple of days Seton Hall picks up 6'10 250lb center in 2026 class top 50 to reclass to play this year, & Oregon picks up 6'11 260lb athlete from Nigeria playing in a Turkish league to be a depth piece. In other words, there have still been guys out there.
