Entering the portal - 2026

[Umami Zen]

In another week. Can start playing the what if game. Portaling. Not hard to see that we will be strong at the wing/SF position and the outside chance that Braylon returns. The 4 spot will need to facilitate as a rebounder to help Reibe/transfer at the 5. Unless Dan retools and goes to a four and out scheme. Doubtful. A smaller PF who isn't banging on the boards is a problem. Karaban was a unique PF who brought other skills to the table.

Dont need wings!!!

We certainly do especially if Braylon doesn’t return. Landrew looks real good but he’s a freshman, never know!

I thought wings were one of the early sources of mojo.

Agreed. Which is why we should pursue him.

 

[Excalibur]

He would play the 4 here like he did at PC.

He played more at the four than he otherwise would have because Powell was hurt much of the time. When he was on the floor with Powell, he guarded the 3.

 

[Palatine]

Power forward.

I believe Cloer is coming off and injury and I would much rather have a proven kid replacing Alex than a freshman

He is going to lsu

Braylon is staying, will be top 5 next year

Why so sure? A NC kid that was targeting his families alma mater is going to follow a swashbuckling coach to Louisiana? I'm saying he's not going to LSU. He wouldn't have opened his recruitment back up and portaled if it was that easy. I think he either stays at NC St depending on coach or goes to UNC depending on coach.

Hurley wins this one, I can see him being more open minded to bringing a frosh into the 4 next year.

Hoping this to be true. He can have a special 2nd year I believe.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

The fact that there's a realistic chance that Demary/Ball/Mullins/Ross/Reibe/Stewart/Furphy might all come back and we are in the Final Freakin Four gets me so freakin' giddy.

How do you figure? You putting all of your eggs into a Landrew, Ross, Furphy, Stew collective is an easy way to wish he had someone who has actually produced.
