    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.

    There is probably some middle ground or else there would be more transfers every year.

    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.

    There would be a ton of blow back if Steele said, "you start from day 1".

    I bet he says, "You have every opportunity to start on day 1"

    He would lose all credibility and players would transfer so fast if he made some back room deal with an 17/18 year old.

    Now recruits know the classes at X. Dwon is a sophomore. He knows X wants to win BE championship and win a National Championship.

    It is a jigsaw puzzle with Transfers and frosh.

    I hope Tandy recovers well. He is not palying much next year with Kunkel, Craft, Ward, Jones and XYZ recruit/transfer

    X needs and will get a transfer pg/sg who can run Steele's system.

    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???

    We are going to have to go transfer portal for PG if we cant get Mintz or someone else in the 22 class. You cant just have Dwon there and no other PG option.

    I think Odom has been pretty good this year. I would have no reservation with him getting 25+ minutes.

    Puzzling that he wasn't really used against Nova in the 2nd half.
