Sorry @shizzle787 :

Hurley has said that the recent additions of Hasson and, more recently, Greek native Apostolos Roumoglou to fill the team's final two scholarship openings for the 2022-23 season was, as much as anything, a way to add more depth and competition in practice.

They're not playing, folks. At least not this season.

This is the mentality you want from the guys taking scholarships 11-13

"He’s ready to work," Shaham added, "and if he gets playing time, great. If not, he’ll keep working. That’s the mentality."

That was a good article. I also love the quotes from Jackson. He sounds like such a good kid.

Jackson has tried to help make Hasson's assimilation in the U.S. as easy as possible.

"I know that if I was to just go to Israel right now and be smack dab in the middle of Israel, I would have no clue how to do a lot of things," he admitted. "So, just trying to be there for those guys to help them out. They love basketball, so that's why they came here. They're in (the gym) a lot, every day."

Borges seems a little out of touch with just how old a lot of high schoolers are now. So many parents are delaying kindergarten, especially for their sons (it’s almost always unnecessary but that’s a discussion for another time), and it is not at all uncommon for athletes to start their freshman year of college at 19.

Also, Andre is just a good dude.

I found this clip of him. He will bring so added toughness
