Solo's Replacement - Paul McNeil

[navery12]

Okay, who are the players we are trying to get?

Right now all we know is Chol Machot or Oskar Giltay for backup C

How much money do we have left? You seem to know.

I literally just said I haven’t seen the spreadsheet! Meaning, I haven’t the foggiest idea.

I believe guys we’ve been reported as having interest in are the guys we have interest in. The Stanford kid and Marlot. And I said reported, not rumored by a guy on a message board.

Yes, I saw their names as well. That doesn't mean we aren't trying to get other guys.

If you’re a member on SC you know who we have and haven’t reached out to.

We are not trying to get Paul McNeil.

What about Paul Mitchell products?

Then why is this thread 8 pages? LOL!

Because BIIIG's OP was a masterful troll

If that is near correct there is no money left for additional players? Maybe the others aren’t getting those numbers.

Color me confused. Going on 24/7 and On3, players NILs are published, at least for a number of guys. I don’t any transfers getting 2.5, 3 or 4 million. Where are the estimates for our guys coming from. If we only have $14M total, I read on KY fan site they have $22M. And I’m sure Michigan has a truck full of cash as they are pursuing Thiam and other higher priced talent. If all this is true, we’ll be priced out of a competitive team despite having the best coach and staff. This said, it doesn’t explain KY failures despite spending obscene money and still not fielding a deep run tourney team.

Please no

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Please no

Who’s your pick for backup center? And don’t say a guy who’s clearly going to have offers to start at high end high majors.

I don't know but a new bunch of players just entered the portal today. Think I’ll have a look. 2 Centers from Georgetown, Baba Miller Cincinnati, Isaiah Miranda. I’m not including Diop or Thiam. The longer we wait, the better ones will be gone.

I'll be interested to hear what you come up with because these options are very good ones, especially Machot

 

[superjohn]

Please no

Machot seems like a great fit to be the other center. Great lob finisher, great shot blocker with untapped potential. There's no way the other guy should be the guy.

 

[FightOnCT]

Ben Defty or Chol Machot for me. Former is a 7-footer with the 2nd highest FGP in the nation. Went to HS in CT

Giltay won’t be our backup center lol

IF this ends up being true: I love you.

A 6'5 ACC transfer who can score in a variety of ways AND finished last season with the 40th best offensive rating in the nation.

Honestly, if we get a guy who averaged 14 ppg, hit 43% of his threes and started basically every game for NC State, that's a hell of a get as a backup 2/3. This would basically mean County is the backup PG and then you can add a Millender as a 'break if needed' emergency 3rd PG.

Is a Millender on a par with a Hilton? What we need is a Sean Miller.
