2026 Recruiting: Ratliff Twins

The ideal center to backup Reibe is going to be a Reed/Sanogo type to provide contrast -- not another guy who can play on the wing.

So if a center plays PF minutes to spell Stewart next season I am going to bet it is Reibe. Which does function as a way to make the backup center position look more attractive (more than 40 minutes per game available between the two centers).

Disagree for several reasons. First off, Reibe is going to be a force inside and out so he can be paired with any type of big.

Second, We haven’t had the inside/outside duo you’re referring to until this year. The last three seasons our starting and backup centers have all been paint dominant on O. they were more complimentary on the defensive end. Which leads me to my last point…

Third, While Reibe can play as a stretch 5 on offense he’s not guarding opposing PFs on D he’s too slow, and As I said, I want this transfer to compete with Stew for starting PF

We will have to agree to disagree then -- as often is the case. Respect your opinions though. I can't imagine the portal is going to have many "can consistently hit 3's, defend 2-5, play backup center 20 minutes a game, and willing to be a reserve" guys.

If Stewart can't handle the job, they will import someone from Europe and bring in a backup center.

Rumor is USC

 

[Mr. French]

The Muss Bus! He’s got some upstate NY connects amongst others.

As long as it’s not Arkansas

 

[RuffRuff]

Muss bus! Package deal.

Muss bus! Package deal.

I’ll take that. I like Muss and wouldn’t mind him making USC good at hoops.

Bring back the Quincy and Monica glory days.

Guards next year: Furphy, Paunovic, maybe Solo and maybe Silas. We added County too. 3-5 guards.

Forwards next year: Stewart, Ross, Ross, we added Landrew. 4 total.

Centers next year: Reibe, Elezaj. 2 total.

That totals to 9-11 players so we are due for 4-6 more on a full roster. Probably we will get one more recruit then portal a C, a F, and maybe a couple guards but portal out is TBD as well.
