22 Guard Judah Mintz

Sounds like we are interested in being this PG in for next year. I was interested in what he said about Xavier. Saying that the coaches are telling him they want him to run the point moving forward. What about Odom?

I'm sure they tell everyone they're going to be in the mix from day 1.

"yeah, you're probably going to sit for 2 years and be a practice player" doesn't usually seal the deal.

We are losing all but one guy who could play PG next year. Dwon can"t play 40 minutes. Kunk will be back but he's a SG. Colby isn't a point. Nate and Paul are gone. KyKy is a question mark, but definitely not a PG. He'll fight for SG minutes if healthy and he stays. A Nate type player.
Not surprised they'd tell Mintz he'll get significant minutes. And it sounds like they won't be as transfer portal active.

Yes, definitely need PG help. Although freshman PG's are players I usually trust a whole lot. That being said I know nothing about this kid, so he may be amazing.

What's the deal with not being active in the transfer portal for next year? Where did that come from? Seems like a mistake to me, the transfer portal seems like it will only become more important.

They might be active, but it appears that Steele wants to have a mixture on the roster. The portal is an unknown as to who might be available so you have to recruit as if there is no one good on the portal. You still want 4 year guys to have a team affinity for the school.

I hope it's just a bit of a slump for Odom, but sometime I watch him play and think - he's going to be out point guard next year???

I’d be shocked if they don’t hit the transfer portal again. They have had success the last couple years with it. Of course it’s a mix of 4 year guys, but I expect them to always be hitting the portal for rotational players

Interesting- I actually think Colby could play the point. I feel very comfortable when the ball is in his hands. Always seems like he’s calm and in control- feel like it’s been a while since we’ve had that type of PG. Feels like we’ve had a history of guys who want to force things and thus play/drive out of control.

Thing is that he is so valuable off the ball. Has a nose for it and his rebounding at the 3 is superb.
As NBA prep, it would be fun to see him get some PG experience, but that’s not in the team’s best interest.

Yeah, but he would only need to play PG for about 10 minutes per game.
