Do we go after Cole Cloer or Focus on Transfers?

[Jaydumo20]

He'll want a guaranteed starting spot - so that would mean either Mullins leaves and/or Solo is relegated.

I don't see it happening anyway. Hines is my #1 if most of our guys come back.

 

[Jaydumo20]

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

I forgot, you don't really use the chat much.

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

This is how a child thinks.

A player in the portal is a free agent.

I never go in the chat. That doesn't surprise me at all. If that's the standard then I'm pretty sure we'll be recruiting 15 new players for next year lol

 

[Mr. French]

No real posters are down on Reibe for next year, but he’s going to need someone to back him up.

Ok let’s see how it plays out. You’ve been on a roll lately with your predictions 🤣

Smith has been solid as a starter filling in. For the most part, I think guys play a lot better for us when they play with more of a leash in general. No matter who they are.

I've already told Ruff that Stew breaking out as the starting 4 is the hill I'm probably dying on this summer.

County being our backup PG is going to be the wish I push for 😂

Also, there's a better chance of Ollie returning to the bench than there is of me moving back to CT for any reason haha

If he's in the portal already because Sha can't afford his market value, then I could see Hurley asking for Sha's permission (or whatever the coach code version of that is). If Arkansas gets him in the portal because they're offering 2.5 mil, then we offer 2 mil and Sha can only afford 1.25 mil, Sha might even recommend he come play for us over Cal.

Are we sure he’s staying? Sounded like his handlers weren’t happy. I hope he’s coming back because I think he’s got a big jump coming. Absolutely need a big high-flier to back him up. Shotblocker and rebounder a must.

 

[Horatio]

We need to replace Alex, Tarris and Malachi.

To compete against him in the Big East? Sounds improbable
