AK is back - are we not done with Portal ?

[Marat]

Still seems we need a quality big to be on the bench, and anyone else ?

 

[husky429]

Need a backup 4/5

 

[JustbrewitMan]

I'd expect a big or a 4/5 combo-type guy, then maybe another 3/4/5 wing backup insurance piece?

 

[DisabledVet]

Need a big at a minimum for practice

 

[Lafayette]

Are we not entertained? (sorry, title screamed Gladiator to me).

• 3rd C in case of injury
• A PF backing up AK - Stew and Ross kind of tweeners on PF/SF so likely a bruiser

At 12 is about as much as we can do without 100% pine riding.

 

[mauconnfan]

Great news!

Need a big body either large 4/5 for a 8-18 minute role and things look good.

Never in doubt on Alex from me

 

[TBHreal]

We need 1 big (PF/C) and 1 guard, both who will likely play minimal minutes unless there’s an injury.

 

[bendm]

It would be nice but The transfer big doesn’t need the ability to play the 4 anymore since Alex will be getting 30mpg and Stew will get the other 10mpg.

We do need a 3rd string C behind Reed and Reibe tho. Reed is prone to foul trouble and Reibe is a frosh. A guy like Singare would be great.

That would bring us to 11. Finally I’d like a 3rd string PG since we only have 2 on the roster and it’s onto #7.

 

[TheRealKBuks]

Is Baba Miller still in play?

 

[firstnline]

Agrreed. Prefer a big who has physicality and can hit a jump shot from inside the foul line.

Alex Karaban is BACK

 

[husky99]

Need a bench big

 

[80shusky]

yep another big. Rim protector who is a strong rebounder would do nicely.

 

[Horatio]

Let Reibe back up the 4 and 5.

Get a true rim protector back up 5.

Pick up a Fr./So. Joey California guard later in the summer to develop.

 

[NewBlood]

I hope Miller is still in play. There is something dynamic about having a battery of the 4/5 positions with

Karaban Miller Reed Reibe

 

[Hey Adrien!]

My newest backup big interest, Malcolm Wilson of Queens (NC).

Remember him from Georgetown? He landed at Queens and finished last season as the Big South Defensive Player of the Year, finishing the season averaging 5.2p, 5.5r, 3.3b(!!!) per game in just 22 minutes per game. 7'0 215.

Proven at the mid-major level and I'm sure he'll be hungry to get another NIL check in the Big East, even if his PT is modest, at best.

 

[JesusAllen11]

Another big is NEEDED. One injury, then the healthy center gets in foul trouble? We have no options lol. It would be terrible roster building by Danny to not get another one.

Another Guard preferably a PG. We still don't know if Demary is back as he is testing the draft.

 

[UC Billy]

Great news and lets go for his 3rd NC

 

[nomar]

Another Guard preferably a PG. We still don't know if Demary is back as he is testing the draft.

He's playing for us. At least his dad sure seems to think he is.



He said he's not entering the draft if he's not a first rounder. He's not a first rounder.

Yeah I heard the interview with that religious nut that interviewd him. I know he is just trying to get a better idea of his draft stock. Either way it would be nice to have a 3rd PG as both Demary and Smith could be gone after this upcoming year.

Need a guy you can put at the 5 for 10-12 minutes a game without it being a liability. Could be a 4/5 if Reibe is going to contribute in the 5 spot. With AK back there won't be a to of minutes at the 4 beyond him and Ross.

If you don't think Reed can stay effective without getting into foul trouble for 30 minutes a game, and Reibe can hold his own for at least one Klaiber, then you need another big body to give you 10-12.

I think Stewart will play more minutes at the 4 than Ross. I really don't see Ross playing much especially with Mullins having to get minutes at the 3 too. I didn't even include the Australian wing who also could be better than Ross. Ross is going to really have to improve his game from what we saw especially getting a more consistent outside shot if he expects to get any minutes.

Reed averaged like 2.7 fouls a game - I think he fouled out of 4 total games including the Memphis debacle. But we need a 3rd C/PF because injuries happen. When Samson Johnson went down @ MSG (Gonzaga game) - Singare was 2nd up, but Johnson came back.

With 11 on the roster, we have less than last year but 2 more spots max than last year per NCAA changes.

Stewart should start at 3; Furphy is his backup and Mullins is Ball's backup or 3rd guard.

 

[navery12]

Ideally we'll add another 3rd string PG and 3rd string C. But we're probably a few weeks away from hearing names there, right now guys committing still have dreams of minutes. And we have 0 minutes available
