Kind of like these surprise commitments that come out of nowhere, and seems like another one could be coming soon

Thanks for updating @huskymedic

I agree with this. His scout became really predictable. He needs to be able to play 15 feet from the basket, and he needs to kick out and reposition himself. Also his later passing out of double teams needs to develop.

Weird that that tweet may have been deleted, but yes, based on Hurley's comments it seems like he's confident we're getting another commitment in the next couple weeks. Have to imagine "potentially getting to 13" would still be the possibility of the Castle reclass.

I love Sanogo.

I mean, I think he also ran out of gas -- he was awful down the stretch, missing a lot of layups he made earlier in the year -- but I'd be interested to know if they have a plan to counter the fact that teams know how he plays.

Yeah I feel like it’s been awhile since a player has said it and believed that they could actually achieve it, but I feel like he believes it’s doable and that he’s good enough with help to get us there. It kinda gave me chills because I think with the right pieces and the right kind of year this year, next year, his senior year, we can really really achieve it.

Nice when the team's most impactful/forceful player is motivated by a group goal and not just his NBA stock

He needs to be stronger to be honest, I can't believe I'm saying that about Adama, but down the stretch he got blocked so often because he would go up so soft. He's a wide body with long arms, he should be able to make space a lot more than he did.

I wonder if that finger injury caused an issue as well. Could've been a mental thing with that injury which made him a little less confident

“We will be at 12 (players) by Summer Two,” Hurley said. “There’s a chance we get to 13 if there are some players that have high upside and we can bring in here. We want some younger guys and developmental guys.”

Let the speculation on that 12th player begin!

The dislocated finger (vs. Gtown I want to say) at the end of the year was what I think crushed him. After that injury he just wasn’t the same.

not complaining but i dont haha. it means i have to check in more frequently because i'll never know when there will be big news. i also enjoy the insider sneak peak re. how the recruitment of a player is progressing.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the coaching staff is not leaking much info to insiders. Calcaterra was on campus last weekend and no one had any clue. No one seems to know about this new “mystery player” either. Our 2023 focus has also shifted entirely compared to what we thought it would be. Makes the Boneyard a little less fun, but maybe the staff feels it’s ultimately for the better?

Yes.
