Yes

 

[imno1]

We’ve already got Landrew coming. And the possibility of Mullins returning. Plus although I’m less impressed than some here Furphy is on our bench now.
Wait I forgot to mention Ross

 

[Mr. French]

Won’t he (at least potentially) follow to LSU? Or is it his NC roots that make that unlikely?

I believe he’s already enrolled at State, not that that matters much.

 

[navery12]

I'd take him depending on how the roster shakes out in a few weeks. But the recruit I think makes more sense from a departing coach is Dylan Mingo

 

[karstenkibbe]

Strange that my comment from an hour ago disappeared. Cloer is a wait-and-see since he suffered a knee injury and hasn’t played all year.

Good point - these guys likely both back on the board. I think the Mullins leaving approach may make the most sense.

From the portal, we need a bigman and two penetrating, skilled ball-handling point guards. With two incoming recruits and five players graduating, 5 in 5 out.

We need some physicality at the 4 and the 5 and some penetration/defense at the 2/3. I don't care how he does it.

This… I have no idea if Mingo would even be a consideration, but that would be the much bigger move. Cloer could be a good player, but we will
Desperately need some veteran athletic bigs in our front court.

 

[HooperScooper]

I thought Demary is a Senior?

Junior. Played 2 years at Georgia.

 

[Brochacho]

We don’t need a pure PG, but we definitely do need a secondary creator to be the Robin for Silas. Idc if it’s a Steph Castle, Andre Jackson, or Cam Spencer type. But we have to have a secondary ball handler on the court next year.

An Alex Wilkins type perhaps.

 

[kobebeanbryant]

We need:
1. Karaban replacement
2. Reed replacement
3. Secondary creator

 

[BuffaloHusky]

I’m sure it’s been mentioned but Wilkins reminded me so much of Newton.

 

[Excalibur]

We need a power forward, a second center, and a bucket getter regardless of position.

 

[Brochacho]

We need:
1. Karaban replacement
2. Reed replacement

My wishlist:

1. Murauskas
2. Hines from SHU (if he enters portal)
3. Wilkins (if he enters portal)

 

[Hurleyman216]

Any kid that chooses to play for Will Wade over playing for Hurley is a hard pass for me…he obviously lacks judgement

 

[Fishy]

We desperately need ball handlers and some grown men in the front court.

We're all set with small forwards and wings.

I suspect there was a significant financial advantage there.

Sign me up for this. I'd also be on board with Pettiford if Wilkins doesn't enter or decide to come here

Hurley won’t go after Hines, he loves Shaheen and that program. Would be very surprised

 

[Jaydumo20]

Hines would be my #1 choice. Even if everybody came back (including Stew) it fills a skillset we don't have. We'd be dangerous even if he was our only big transfer. If we are too scrupulous to go after him I know a guy in Queens who isn't.
Also, Did we collectively move on from Vaaks on this board?

 

[RuffRuff]

I cannot see a world where Wilkins didn't enter. HP has the exec plan and some $$, but if he's serious about hoops, he's coming. LJ from McNeese is interesting.

I think it's a stretch. How much loyalty would he have to Hubert to want to enter portal? Especially if they get Donovan.

If Hines has his mind set on leaving, you’re not hurting SH by taking him instead of letting him go somewhere else.

We'd lose him to Pitino. But I didn't even ask, why are we even talking about Hines? Did he say anything? Or are we just looking around the sport cherry picking dudes we love.

We 100% need a backup center. I'm pretty confident in our staffs track record of developing Bigs for Reibe. Even earlier this year he improved pretty quickly as a starter. But we still need someone behind him.

Hoping we go with County as the backup guard but we’re going to need a third guard regardless.

The past two years we've brought in two PGs that haven't been big pluses in Mahaney and Smith. Hoping we give the freshman a chance to put up similar production as those two while having the upside to possibly take over for us later on rather than leave got us to start over again after a year.

I'm confident in Reibe too after a summer of work. I fully expect you to face blowback championing him as a starting 5 on here. When he pans out too, between him and Ross, you may get a job on the bench.

(Although, Im happy with Smith lately. If he continues playing like this Id chalk it up as a success)

Why would he get blowback? There's maybe 2 posters on the entire site who don't like Reibe
