Pass on him. We need to hold the scholly for a 3-4 year player.

The 3-4 year players for this summer/fall are all taken. There aren't any left except for Myles Turner. Why would you pass on a kid who could help the team?

I like the strategy of going after established college basketball players instead of taking flyers on marginal guys as we have in the past. We know they can play and equally important we know they can handle the academic side of things.

RJ Evans was a great leader by all accounts and Kromah iced the title game with his foul shooting. What mute can you ask for?

2 things:

- Trust in Ollie to make that call

- The plan should be to win another one next year and we could use a rebounder. This guy seems like a perfect fit.

One for the thumb is the new rally cry.

And he's a lefty? I dunno if he is 6'8", but looks like an athletic banger.

Well let's get Myles Turner then! Didn't we pretty much poach DD from Kansas right after an NC?

Wow. All I'm going to say is, did you see him blocking all those shots and dunking literally everything? If he lists out at 6'9 thats a prospect. The guy can rebound the ball, performed very well vs top comp ( wichita state, Tennessee , belmont). KO's pitch should be simple, "Hey I can get you drafted". If we somehow get this kid I wager we have as talented of a roster as anybody. it would delegate lubin to the facey role from this past year though.
