Rudi Williams Top 8

[SubbaBub]

This place is crazy. I literally can’t tell what is sarcasm anymore.

Let me help you out. There is zero chance a sure fire POY candidate like this would even consider a program with a fanbase that hyperventilates over every guard with a 3pt% over 30 that enters the portal.

Over 30% from deep? Who are you talking about? I need a name!!

 

[Mooch82]

I think this kid would be a good add, but I don't love him as a starter. Would be a great fit as a combo guard off the bench. Still hoping we are on Ramy to start at the 2 and then a wing for depth (Alleyne/Odukale/Dennis).

 

[uconngb]

They’re not though

ECU - North Carolina
Coastal Carolina - South Carolina

LOL. So there's not even that. What makes those schools remotely comparable then??

Kid must be a big fan of steak dinners and fine dining… Sheesh that’s a lot of visits for a transfer portal guy

New definition of a journey man.

Last go around gotta take advantage.

The best steak dinner will be Wichita. Hope that’s not the tipping point

If he is plan B then it's good for us that his timeline is still a few weeks away from a decision. Gives us a bit more time to try to close on option A..

 

[Platt81]

So you think he spurned Ok St, Memphis and Florida to include George Mason, Wichita State and BYU?? C'mon please

Do you understand what “interest” means? He may not have been offered by these schools in which case they wouldn’t be in his Top 8, or when he spoke to them the role they described for him may not have been of interest to him. All three schools I listed were from articles associated with the schools, not him. Bottom line is if Hurley sees he has potential value I’ll take his vision over yours based solely on the competition for him.

I’m so confused by this thread.

Jackson went from being an option at PG, to a PF who can defend anyone but Teddy Allen.

That's what makes him such a fun and important player, we can move him around depending on who we add to exploit matchups

He needs to be treated as a Plan A even if he may be technically behind Ramy on the priority list. We only have 8 guys on scholarship currently and only 2 of them are guards...one of which is probably more suited for the 3 in today's college game. We have big minutes available for two guards right now.

He’s versatile.

 

[Com'rGordon]

Closer look at his game

 

[bigknight3]

Hawkins is 185 pounds (started last season at 170) so you're wrong there. And yes, there is an additional starting spot if you slide Hawkins to the 3 and Jackson to the 4. Jackson is a point forward at this point. He can play the 4 because he's an elite defender. Who cares if he is slightly undersized, he's the best athlete on the floor every single night. He can guard anyone

Came to make the anyone but Teddy Allen comment but @CTBasketball had it covered!

 

[bendm]

since this guy is a CG would bringing him in foreclose a castle reclass? i dont think he's on the same level as hunter or shannon, so wouldnt be excited about going all in with a small ball starting lineup.

 

[UC4L]

They’re not though

ECU - North Carolina

[nomar]

Well, we just got a guy from Eastern Carolina, that’s pretty much the same school so…

Once we've got Coastal Carolina and Eastern Carolina, we'll need Central Carolina and Western Carolina.

My kid went to Coastal Carolina. I've lived near the coast in southeastern South Carolina. After graduating my son moved to Central North Carolina. My brother lives in northern South Carolina and I now live in Western North Carolina.

Yet whenever a storm approaches any of these areas meteorologists invariably say the storm will impact the Carolinas.

Speaking of Ramy, what's going on with him? Do we have a visit set up yet?

Testing NBA waters but did poorly in Portsmouth Invitational. So most likely will be available in transfer portal.

And this Portsmouth is in Virginia not New Hampshire FYI!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

If we wanted to go full Coastal on our transfer strategy, Rudi Williams' teammate, Ebrima Dibba, hit the portal just now.

Due to my general awe over Cliff Ellis, and his quest for 900 wins, I've watched a few Coastal Carolina games over the last few years. Dibba a 6'6 205 three-and-D point forward from Sweden. Last season, he averaged 8.1p, 4.8r, 5.4a, 1.3s with a 48.1 2p%, 34.4 3p%, 80.2 ft%. Dude has great energy and an infectious zest.

Between Newton, Jackson and Dibba, we'd have a lot of length and size in our distributors!

I had no idea he was still coaching. Frankly, I didn’t know he was still alive. And I’m shocked that he was a year older than I am now during the dream season loss. I thought he was an old man then.

I’m glad you took time out of a busy Monday to point that out.

 

[Burnsbros23]

I’ll interpret this as you knowing something. Correct me if I’m wrong. Do you know where he’s leaning, or have you just heard we’re not in the lead?

One of the ppl helping him isn’t a fan of ours.
