I mean wouldnt we all like a former 4 star. No chance though right? Looks like we weren't even recruiting him last year.

I think this list more or less shows what they will do with the returning players. With only 2 2021 guys that would imply two of Brewton, Nickelberry, Brock, and Fagan are likely coming back and then they will use 2 more scholarships on these guys. Then that would fill out the roster

We need impact players when Mballa, Segu, and Williams graduate. Do you really trust some 18 year old freshman? I agree we need to get a few but we have to solidify the next superstar on the team. A guy like Gaines and the size and obviously some talent to attract Tennessee. I agree about Molson, don’t think we need him and would rather use it for a freshman transfer like Hardnett or a actual freshman.

Have to imagine we are first in line for this guy

Would anyone else love to see us go after some D2 superstars trying to transfer up? If the P5 school are going to plunk smaller schools shouldnt we do that same? I feel like basketball has a huge opportunity looking down a division as there are so many players and talent evaluation is so hard. Also kids sometimes grow a lot or develop a smoother stroke.

Those stats make me think we didnt miss much. I would guess once Jack committed we cooled on him. Another volume 3 pt shooter who shoots 30%. I will pass

Saw that we have an offer out to this guy on Verbal Commits and have not seen anything about him in here. Seems to have us on a pretty good short list. Does anyone have any additional info on him? https://www.verbalcommits.com/players/kidtrell-blocker

I saw a tweet a few months back from a national media person that basically said, in the Northeast if LL offers a kid, the next day the kids school has about 15 calls to learn more about the kid. He is an extremely well respected identifier of talent. It shows with our team too, we have a significant amount of Walk-ons in our 2 deep and obviously the under recruited players succeeding speaks for itself.

HUGE PICK UP

Agreed and I think the "luck" formula is roughly based on that. When the team is suppose to win late and doesn't there is luck attributed to losing. But all of us watching the game clearly see it is coaching. Could we have won a couple of the close games? Sure. But should we have? Probably not, we don't execute down the stretch and that is a direct correlation to coaching. Additionally - something I havent seen people mention about Whitesell is how bad his recruiting has been. We have missed on basically everyone besides Mballa. Next year we lose a good chunk of our team, does anyone here have any confidence he is going to be able to fill the gaps? Once we lose Oates' last guys (Segu & Williams) we could be right back to the Reggie days. Recruiting Misses: Savion, Malik, Nickleberry, Brewton, Hardnett, Chance, Skogman Recruiting Wins: Mballa.

Great to point out the KenPom ranking but KenPom quantifies total game and how it is played (additionally KenPom rankings also use priors). I think what most people are mad about here is the coaching specifically JW's lineup choices and late game handling. I dont think anyone would argue the team has some talent but he is a bad coach. The talent is keeping them in games and he is doing nothing to help. Playing Brock more than 8 minutes a game is a fire able offense in itself.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤭

McKay has not played in their last 2 games. Havent really seen any info on that

We will need Brock to play 6-8 minutes a game and spell Mballa. He will need to rebound and do his best to hold his own on defense. I think he will be able to do that. He looks slimmer and more agile than previous years. If Mballa gets in foul trouble vs. a bigger team might need him more. My guess is we will go with smaller lineups when that happens though.

Confirmed he was on campus, he was at practice on Saturday

Stopped by practice today, he was doing all the drills and looked fine

Is anyone else just extremely confused about the sequence of events of this recruitment?

I mean....seems like we got him??

Let’s not forget too with how big the portal is now, JW’s plan might be to leave open spots to get transfer talent in

I think we are recruiting a higher caliber of player than a lot of MAC schools. I think it is okay we havent gotten any commits yet, it is about going after the right guys

With Vantrease has the punter now our expected yardage per punt should drop significantly, so we should be going for it more on 4th in the middle of the field. Not sure is LL and the staff look at it that way or not, but IMO we should be.

Came here to say I am very excited for this game on Saturday. I think we will be able to run all over Liberty. I think how we perform in this game will be a good indication for the rest of the season. Thanks for listening to my ted talk.
