Clocks tickin

watched some Noah Carter film and gotta say id definitely take him...hes thick, so even though he's 6'6 he can bang with bigger players....think he's kind of that undersized 5 when you wanna go small that would be a tough matchup for other teams bigs to guard....can also play the 4, he's pretty athletic for being a bigger body and he BOXES OUT which i saw numerous times from him and thought that was a huge problem this year...his shot looks better then 28% from 3 so hopefully that can improve but i would definitely take him especially if Justin is gone

Is a Noah Carter type with a better 3-point shot the kind of player that Nova typically has its 4 in their 5 out offense?  Can he defend and rebound as a 4?  Can he improve his 3 point shooting to a 35% clip?

What's our top 5 options Brew?  Anybody out there that can clean the glass?  Or are there burners of the bounce?  Ty.

Nevada transfer Warren Washington (@5warrenw) tells me he has heard from:

Arizona state
Saint Mary’s
Marquette
SDSU
Butler
Arkansas
Washington...

7 ft. junior who cleans up on the glass. In fact, better rebounding numbers than Bates who many are pining for here. Could be one to watch.

2 Years of Eligibility Remaining

11 PPG | 7 RPG | 1 BPG | 61 FG% | 73 FT%

Can watch some highlights here:

Just to reiterate my wish list:

1) 6'8 Glass Cleaner with the ability to step out and drain the 3.

2)  Burner PG with handles that can create and score in the paint.

3)  Knock down spot shooter with size.

4)  Jack of all trades switchable/glue guy.

5)  High flying wing(40 inch vertical) with the ability to get to the free throw line and attack with power.

I'm just throwing it out there Hound.  I know it's not easy but goals should be high.

Based on who we've reached out to, my personal opinion (for whatever that's worth) would be...

1) Manny Bates, NC State: He's perfect. Big time rim protector like Kur, great as a finisher in pick and roll, and cleans the offensive glass. You have to hope he's healthy (missed all but one minute of last year with a shoulder injury) but he's ideal.

2) Warren Washington, Nevada: Originally a high-major (Oregon State) recruit that consistently posted double-digit scoring and is a good rebounder and rim protector. Similar frame to Kur, I'd prefer someone a bit more stout.

3) Patrick Cartier, Hillsdale (D2): He scores in every way we would want him to, has 6'8" length, and is a competent rebounder. We've seen plenty of D2 transfers up succeed, he looks worth the risk. This is my favorite potential "Justin replacement" so far.

4) Zach Wrightsil, Loyola (D2): Interesting player. Good in transition, pick and roll, and isolation, so offensive probably projects as a Morsell replacement. Also a great rebounder. Not a good shooter, though.

5) Alex Tchikou, Alabama: He fits the mold, but didn't get much run with the Tide. Is he leaving because there he's welded behind Bediako on the depth chart or because he couldn't do what they hoped he would? If it's the former, might be a good get. If the latter, then I'm a bit nervous.

Others to watch: Norchad Omier, KJ Williams, Qudus Wahab, Johni Broome (if he enters the portal)

As it stands we have 1 open scholarship lol

Warren Washington is an absolute menace. He should be option 1/2/3 with Bates a close 4th.

Which 4 guys are you cutting?

Eh...kind of feel like you are undervaluing world peace.

I was just thinking the next few years.

RED gonna stank next season

[GoldenEagles03]

I'm high on Norchad Omier.

He looks really solid.  Grabbed 12+ boards a game and has a decent midrange game. Slightly undersized but so is Nova who does just fine.

He's 6'7", but a big bodied 6'7" similar to Justin.  The difference is Omier operates from the elbows into the rim, where Justin extends his game beyond the 3 point line. He's who I want on this roster but there are plenty of solid options available.

He would be my first choice as a Justin replacement given his proven ability + years of eligibility. Unfortunately he would also be near the top of the list for most schools in the country.

When anyone says "like Kur" I throw up a little in my mouth.  Kur was terrible.  We need to strive much higher than him.  I know the term is used more based on style of play, but that guy was really just not a good basketball player at all.
