And Ciani wasnt terrible. Not a great year, but a backup quality guy.

Abou was not a starter at this level...but certainly capable as a backup.

you can get by with any ONE of these guys on the roster. You just cant do it with 3 of them.

Completely agree here. Was fine seeing Abou go, but moreso to your other point- keeping one of the younger guys and let them grow for future is better than Abou getting back up minutes. Ciani had decent hands at times. Had flashes. And Nzeh I thought was down a path of something we’re all wanting- a guy very similar skill set to Jones.

This isn’t Steele, last year was the aberration.

Miller isn’t stupid but he doesn’t get a full pass for this past season. He is ultimately the coach responsible for the worst seasons in recent memory. Even Steele didn’t put up that kind of record at X. The injuries I know played a part but not bringing in a second Big from the portal after Abou also played a big part. He has struck out recruiting HS Big that are at this level and has struck out bringing quality Bigs from the portal. Even the Euro recruitment has been a big miss. Time for Miller to redeem himself and earn that paycheck. 2 Bigs isn’t going to cut it with the health concerns of Free and Hunter. It would be dangerous and stupid to do so which you said Miller isn’t which I agree so we should have a well stocked front court come next season.

Low D1 on a bad team but an intriguing transfer that a lot of teams are after

he brought in Logan Duncolmb last year too. That dude quit / retired before the season even started which in turn became a roster spot for one of teh Euros.

Strangely, Duncolmb is in the portal again this year. Wonder what the real story is with him....

You're ignoring quite a bit of reality with the information in this post so I guess we will just agree to disagree on this one. Two things I will point out is that 1.) only five on the court play at a time, 2 bigs at most.

2.) You can't just discount the fact that Free/Hunter are on this roster, and Miller and staff know more about both of their situations more than anyone on this board combined.

with that, I'll bow out of the topic because it's become redundant.

Stretch 4 that can shoot. More than half of the attempts from 3. Slight build at 6'9" 190. 3 years eligibility left.

Maybe he's BE caliber, maybe not. But worth the chance in my opinion....if he's cheap.

Ya, I don’t get that situation. Thought he transferred back to be close to home, then left the program early on for mental health reasons and now is back and is transferring. Another front court guy that was a miss. Wonder the real story is there.

Looking at the list of programs who have contacted this kid, I don’t see it happening for us.

Fair enough. Hopefully we will be celebrating the strong depth of our front court at the end of the transfer window.

We celebrated a little last year and...well.....you know. Still my team so I will hope whoever is here can play and it works. It's mostly a crapshoot anyways.
