Still to be determined but I've read multiple media members say to not expect much.
Tough to go with Young when he can't even play due to a broken hand.
I know you're just being an ass, but the point is the staff will be taking fewer chances. We won't be signing any borderline guys to fill roster spots is the prevailing word.
Whatever it takes, although it by the looks of it the other staffs are well ahead of Prohm and Co in the spring.
Ehhh, depends on the situation. For instance, there's 4 scholarships available now, if Prohm fills two with guys he likes, and misses on some others, then I have no problem taking a chance on a grad transfer that may help, but wasn't a standout player before. What's the loss? There's still a scholarship available.
The other scenerio, which I really hope is not an issue, Prohm don't get any of the top targets that are out there. Then what do you want him to do? You can't bank those scholarships. You wouldn't even have a practice squad. No way should he bank more than one scholarship. If that means taking average players, because that's all you can get, then you basically have to.
Remember when everyone was freaking out last summer because we weren't getting any visits from prospects? And then we got a handful of visits, including some Top 100 guys? We're going to find out a lot more in the next month.
Doesn't it depend on how things play out? If they whiff on studs, I sure hope they take some chances on borderline guys.
I don't think Prohm is counting on whiffing on his top targets. Of course, circumstances could change. That's why I hedged with "is the prevailing thought". Maybe I should change "we won't be signing any" to "I'd be surprised if we signed any". The staff doesn't want another Holden or Kasongo. They'd rather take a high school project like Yetna it seems.
Well if Young would have started, then Holden would have been in during garbage time when Young broke his hand.
Of course. See my post above.
It sounds like they'd rather sign high school projects or two-year JUCOs than another Holden or Kasongo.
I'm happy with both, we needed Holden whether people think we did or not. Getting Kasongo was fine, we were guaranteed to have 6 schollys, weren't sure if Lard wasn't going to qualify or not, and ended up with 7 schollys because of Simeon leaving. When you're looking at the possibility of 8 scholarships, Kasongo is a fine get IMO. Holden was a one year use for a team that had nothing but a 6'4 Burton and just as unknown Young and Bowie in the post.
If I could go back, I'd still take both Kasongo and Holden.
I think the most important question is has that baby arrived yet and what is her name?
And by all accounts, Kasongo has the physical tools. Much more likely to mold a guy like that into something than a guy who has the mental aspect down but doesn't possess the physical talent.
May have just been a rumor but I heard they're naming her Enzo.
Corey Evans ranked the top 5 available transfers
https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/twitter-tuesday-exploring-the-transfer-market
1. Elijah Brown: Brown, who began his career at Butler before transferring to New Mexico, might be the most coveted of transfers this spring. He is someone that has already graduated and can play immediately next year. Expect the entire Pac-12 to hastily pursue the 6-foot-4 scoring guard as his father, Mike, is an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors.
2. Cameron Johnson: A 6-foot-8, late-blooming combo forward that would have been atop opponents' scouting reports facing Pitt next season, Johnson will graduate this spring and become immediately eligible to play in the winter with two years to play. Johnson is someone who can become an NBA prospect with a solid junior campaign, and the entire East Coast will be interested thanks to Johnson's versatility and shot making abilities.
3. Marcus Evans: The most productive transfer this spring, Evans, a native of Virginia Beach, Va., has already been named as a first-team Conference USA member twice. Mike Rhoades, who left Rice to take the VCU head coaching job, will do his best to bring his former star with him, but a litany of other high-majors will do their best to land the 20-point-per-game scorer from last year.
4. Noah Dickerson: The potential No. 1 pick in this year’s NBA Draft, Dickerson did a lot of positive things for Washington this past season. A well-built and strong-bodied center that rebounds the ball and can finish in traffic, Dickerson will likely return to the East Coast with a bevy of top-flight programs chasing after him. He will have two years of eligibility remaining after he sits out next year.
5. Egor Koulechov: A teammate of Evans’ at Rice this past year, Koulechov is a versatile forward who scores with efficiency, but also can rebound in volumes. A native of Russia, Koulechov is immediately eligible having graduated from Rice, which makes the 18-point and eight-rebound-per-game forward a major commodity.

I don't think I'd put those 5 players in that order and I'd substitute some out for others. Weird list.
6-8 power forward. Espn top 100 out of HS
4.3 ppg 2.3 rpg in 13.7 mpg
