Correct, that was part of the Blaze strategy. A by product of that is you may get lucky and then get plan A. We need to get over APR PTSD and be comfortable to have guys transfers out for not getting playing time. Calhoun was a master of that but the academic side of the house did not ensure they finished school clean. Most successful schools do that.
 
I hope we lock down Nembhard this weekend. He and Carey are both excellent players but Nembhard just has this cerebral court awareness thing going for him. His passing is amazing and he makes it look easy. Really skilled with an all around complete game. More of a 1 guard team oriented player that is a really proficient scorer. Love to have this guy, I think he would complement any lineup.

I think we should be focused on class schedules and campus tours personally
 
Corey Evans of Rivals posted that he doubts this visit happens after Akinjo's commitment. He is going to check if the visit is still happening.

Well that's a buzz kill if true

Not what I wanted to hear, so out on Nembhart and Carey now.

It seems like we r the only program in America that when we have 3 guards on the roster it's a problem selling PT to recruits! It's insane we run 3 guards all the time and nothing about alterique screams reliable health-wise. Here's hoping that changes but risky

I don't understand it.

Jalen and Anderson will be gone. We absolutely need another guard for next year, Carey or Nembhart would be perfect for what we need.

This is just all part of the negative recruiting being thrown at us - too many guys transferring or too many guys on team narrative - don't get hung up on it - it's all a game to get someone to go somewhere else.

Remember if we have 5 guards - playing a three guard lineup - the two dudes on the bench are backing up 3 guys. Lots of minutes then and more if we have injuries and fouls.

Has anyone but Oz said we're out on Carey? That's the only mention I've seen

I don't know why people think we will get Carey and Nembhardt with a commitment from Akinjo, who wants to compete for playing time with Gilbert and Akinjo.
I think both of them are out but I still think KO will still recruit them

Seriously? Because we will have only 3 guards on the whole team next year, two of which are 5'9-5-10. Nembhart or Carey would play a ton.

I understand what you're saying, but it's possible that Nembhard and/or Carey are looking for 30+ mpg. I don't see why that's impossible, especially if we run a lot of 3 guard sets, but I can see why either of them would have doubts about playing time on a team with Alterique/CV/Akinjo (good problem for us, for sure)

This, Nembhart or Carey or any big guard would play plenty with those three guards on the team. Other teams have a lot of guards on their rosters also. This could all just be speculation by the beat writers.

Sounded like it was his opinion. He said he was going to make some calls and check to see if the visit is still happening. So nothing official yet that he's not visiting. We definitely need another guard so I don't see Ollie giving up on Carey and Nembhard.

yes seriously, however I think they can get a shooting wing/guard like Mathews Jr. I think that's why they extended the offer
 
Maybe it's just the optimist in me, but I don't buy that we're out on Carey/Nembhard. Both of them would slot more into a 2/3 role on our team since they're a little bigger guards. It shouldn't be hard to sell them on playing time when really the only guy we have at their spot is Vital (and Anderson who's gone by that point)

We can't go into 2018 with 3 guards, that's not even enough to scrimmage with. Maybe it's not Carey or Nembhard but we need to add another guard. We just witnessed what happens when there's no depth

I'm fine with going into 18 with a heathy Gilbert,vital,akinjo and a fifth year senior and maybe picking up a scoring wing.

I agree we do need a guard, what I'm saying is that it wont be Carey or Nembhard

Cool off on two top PG's we've been after for some time in hopes of landing a grad transfer? No thanks. Sell one of the two on the playing time that certainly exists at guard for '18-19.

We'll agree to disagree there. I'd be willing to bet 1 of those 2 ends up here sometime soon
