This is hilarious.  There is something like 358 schools in D1. A visit per day and he will have his list narrowed down on this date next year so he can play in '23-'24.

[Uncle Rico]

I'd take him in a heartbeat

According to this article In the Washington State fan site, Foreign Players are not eligible for NIL. That could help our cause

Might as well. The program's already Efe-d.

Believe they sell apparel with all of the players names except OMax for this reason.

That's an odd rule.

[TallTitan34]

Oops looks like I am mistaken. OMax is on there now. He wasn't there originally.

[Tha Hound]

I actually am comfortable with the size on the roster right now.

Gold 6'11"
Oso 6'9"
Itejere 6'9"
OMax 6'8"
Joplin 6'7" or 6'8"
Wrightsil 6'7"

That's more depth up front than we had last year as far as size and bodies go. Morsell could get his own shot as you mentioned.

Look at the Final 4 teams:

UNC has Love and Davis
Duke: Roach, Keel, Moore
Kansas: Braun, Martin, Agbaji
Villanova: Gillespie

Baylor last year: Mitchell and Butler

To win in March you need guards that can get their own baskets. We have plenty that can create for others at the moment.

Not a single one of those big men have a high major track record of rebounding or defending well in the post. Maybe Omax but that's it. Doesn't mean they can't become that player but none are proven and that doesn't inspire much confidence.

Given Washington was seemingly a top priority as well as reaching out to agobidi, it appears Shaka would agree.

[Viper]

I'd take him in a heartbeat

hmm...so he's not from Shiocton?

DePaul's David Jones has entered the portal.  Big loss for the Demons

Jones just Monkeed around with DePaul and used them as a Stepping Stone.

Woof. Thought they could weather the loss of Freeman-Liberty but not if Jones is leaving too

You all think Rothstein sat there writing that tweet and actually consciously thought to himself "Man, this is great information that people need to know"?

Kofi leaves Illinois to go pro. Signs with agent, and announces intent to forego remaining college eligibility.

Based on mock drafts I've seen, he'll be selected after Lewis, if at all.

Crazy to think that not all that long ago, a guy with his height and skillset probably would have been a lottery pick.

Joey Hauser is returning to MSU for his Covid year.

[jfp61]

Efe cut his list to 12 and MU is on it. Down from 35 to 12.
