Players are either going to have to be in your rotation or they're going to leave. You mean spots 8 -. 13 with the Billikens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 9-13 for SLU, but the point being, players need to be in the rotation if you're expecting them to stay. Taking a two or three year project isn't worth it anymore. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Traore was much more raw than most on this board, but I did think he may have been serviceable by the time he was an upper classman. Just going to have to modify views of roster construction moving forward. Smart man. I was expecting Traore to split after next season because he's in the 10-13 zone. But when you think about the freedom of movement afforded by free agency, why even wait two seasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnkielBreakers Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 It is disappointing. Looked like a really good person, and a raw talent. Always fun to watch a player turn a corner and jump in level of play, and I had a gut feeling Traore would do that. Most likely, if that happens, it will be in a low level conference. I assume he is transferring for 2 reasons: 1) playing time, and 2) because he wants to develop in a different direction than the coaching staff wants (such as into a PF). Neither of those were going to happen if we bringing in another big, especially if it is someone who can be a PF/C. Good luck to him!!! billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenbill Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 McNeese State’s 7’1 center Brendan Medley-Bacon in the portal. Averaged 9.7/6.2, shooting 56% from the floor and 71% from the line. Would be a grad transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
