How many 6’9 230 athletic big men that can rebound do you believe are out there that x can get? Florida, South Carolina and Providence are also in the mix. That’s the kind of level x is competing with, not easy.Quote:

Would LOVE to see Sean reel in this kid. He can do it all.Quote:

Still would probably need to add another big closer to 7’.
Not sure how complete this one is but ranking the players as they come into the portal makes it easier for me.Quote:

Odom isn't a BE guard. We're not going backwards.Quote:

These are the types of guys who cost you games because they can’t make free throws down the stretch. I have no idea how many forwards are out there that can rebound. Quite a few based on the portal. But whats the point when he gets fouled rebounding and you can bank on him missing the front end of a 1 on 1. Maybe a squad player at best but I doubt he would be brought in for that roll. I wouldn’t say his other stats aren’t crazy impressive either based on his competition at a lower level.Quote:

There is a ton of competition for these guys and x probably needs two of them. Look at the competition for this guy, what do you think it is for someone even better? That cliff o guy is being recruited by every blue blood in the country.Quote:

I suspect he’s gone, but I thought the same thing. He can’t have substantial NIL value nor high-major portal interest. He may want another year to prove he can play at this level, while also creating some NIL value.Quote:

Does he take it and forego the dream of playing at the high-major level? That kind of offer might dry up with another year riding the pine. It’s one thing to move down in competition after two or three years in the program, like most of our recent outbound transfers, but I think the calculus might be different after only one year.
