I'm guessing he thinks they might crack 60 a few times.
'insiders'.... a dime a dozen. Lanier isn't getting a $1.8 million dollar deal. Pope already showed w/Osobor that he wasn't going to do something like that.
sounds to me like our posters are trying to cope if we don't get him. This whole thing about not upsetting the other players is stupid as fck
Pope is saving the 13th scholly for a late addition. Could be for a reclassifying player.
I wouldn't put too much stock in what these "insiders" say, it seems like I have seen more incorrect reporting this year than any other year I can recall.
Going to fill all 13, but according to Fueger (assistant coach), they might save that last scholarship for any possible summertime talents that pop up.
according to our board it's no big deal if we don't land him. Which IMO is just false we could be a team seriously in jeopardy of making the tournament. fans are having fantasies that Igor Milicic and Okpara are the best duo in the nation in the post when they haven't done much of anything.
That's what I was wondering. Losing Knecht, Aidoo, Jordan-James and Vescovi, is a ton of key pieces to overcome.
If we don't land Lanier we better have a serious plan B if we want to stay in the top 25
Barnes will need to focus on being a defensive juggernaut like Houston was last year. But, Barnes' teams are always great defensively.
It is so kind of you to wish me that with you looking like that.Hmm, idk, I really think y'all need to get Lanier, if not… .
I’m not buying that Osobor got $2 mil from UW either. That number is definitely inflated.
I wonder how many teams are going to fill 13. The eye on college basketball podcast they discussed the new strategy for most coaches and said “11 is the new 13.” Less players disgruntled with their minutes and such.
Yeah, some of the 11 on the roster are definitely guys that are there knowing they're in for the long haul. There are two kids from Kentucky that bleed blue, they aren't leaving and they know they are deeper on the bench, but they're still very good. Heck, we thought Reed Shappard was a 4 year guy. He was supposed to be.
I’d rather have disgruntled options than slim to none on the bench. Only takes an injury or two to decimate a roster. Cal rarely ever even came close to filling 13. If nothing else it provides more competitive practices than going against a bunch of walk-ons. Plus they can always become a free agent after a season (or less) if they aren’t happy. If you can get decent talent to take ‘em, may as well use ‘em.
With his elephant trunk, he probably pissed in someone else's shoe.
You got 19 and 22 reversed, just a heads up.
With the loss of PJ Hall Clemson will struggle they will be more of a bubble team next year. They didn't add anyone impressive and Hunter will be their best player going forward but he struggled alot last season.
