Surprised Dain Dainja hasn’t found a spot yet. Played really well towards the end of the year and was a big piece of a Memphis team that made the tournament and probably would have advanced if they were healthyPortal has a Large number of centers, most with very good size but limited usage at their prior schools.

Kanye from Pitt still available too
Does a staff look more carefully at a kid who's looking for his 4th school??Surprised Dain Dainja hasn’t found a spot yet. Played really well towards the end of the year and was a big piece of a Memphis team that made the tournament and probably would have advanced if they were healthy
In the age of mercenary basketball, not reallyDoes a staff look more carefully at a kid who's looking for his 4th school??
If the coaching staff is good, I’m sure they are. Would be foolish not to. You don’t want to poison the well with a player that will be an issue to team chemistry, etc.In the age of mercenary basketball, not really
But for the sake of humor he should go to Georgetown and get abused by Cooley.Hopefully we can acquire the rights for Miranda.
Just did a quick Google search on Isaiah Miranda because you got me interested.Isaiah Miranda & Papa Kante obviously played in the area and the staff had contact with them in the day. I'm pretty surprised Miranda has accomplished so little. He could shoot the 3 and had pretty good skills years ago to go with 7'1 size. I recall him on the court vs Donovan and doing pretty well at a point before Clingan's conditioning was vastly upgraded. If I recall old threads about him, the way he ended up at a west coast basketball factory suggested his thinking was not aligned with what Hurley values. Multiple stops and lack of production still surprises me. Were there injuries?
I thought he had committed to USC originally, but I don't see that in his history or any 2022-2023 season. Okl St nothing then Green Bay and nothing. A top 40 7'1 recruit that was a deep shooter a la Reibe. There has to be a story
I’ll remain silent on thisHopefully we can acquire the rights for Miranda.
what am I missing on this? guy played 3 years and then redshirted last season while recovering from knee surgery and didn't play at all, how does he not get a 4th year?
Interesting. I’m wondering how that would be significantly different than Hopkins at PC, now St. John’s.I'm not 100% sure on this, but it sounds like the NCAA thinks he was cleared to play last season and he chose to redshirt so the medical waiver was denied
Hopkins is entering his 5th year, Khalifa is entering his 6th. So it's a slightly different circumstance that the NCAA is reviewingInteresting. I’m wondering how that would be significantly different than Hopkins at PC, now St. John’s.
Guess that explains it then, I looked up his profile and only seen 3 years of actual play, I didn't realize he's been in college that long.Hopkins is entering his 5th year, Khalifa is entering his 6th. So it's a slightly different circumstance that the NCAA is reviewing
Yeah he redshirted his first year at Charlotte, so he was actually there 3 years. It still seems like a case that should have been approved, but Hopkins is a case of a medical redshirt to play a 5th season, where Khalifa first had to be approved for a 6th season of eligibility, and then apply for a medical redshirt afterGuess that explains it then, I looked up his profile and only seen 3 years of actual play, I didn't realize he's been in college that long.

I know there was some UConn interest before Karban came back.
