I think so, at least during the coaching carousel/start of portal szn.

Thank you - was just curious, might have to give it a go.

We need PGs Conor Enright Drake PG in the portal, he's from IL, would be familiar to our coach.

If USF Youngblood commits to Bama look for Texas to try to lock down Larry.  Horns247 still haven't confirmed Avila visiting they're normally all over visits.   So pull for Bama to whiff.

Youngblood to bama.

Reading this article/thread Texas is continuing to mine the portal now that Youngblood is out. Pope from Oregon State is probably the top PG priority.  Larry might be the fallback option.  As for Kent, Texas has the #2  SG incoming Tre Johnson and Chendall Weaver played a lot at the end of the year so I'm not sure how much PT is there even with Max Abmas gone.

So one of our biggest positions of need PG, is also a need for Texas.

Good pickup by Mack. My guess is he’ll do well at CofC. Wished we could have kept him. If Mack liked what he saw why didn’t we? 

[Taj79]

If he was recruited by Harriman, he went with Harriman.  Kids sign with coaches.

At MB we all agreed he looked good given his limited time. Another Travis miss. 

[Taj79]

I really don't think CTF trusted him ..... CTF only went so deep and Curcic wasn't one of them.  He used him only when things pressed despite the kid having good results as you have pointed out in the past.

We did…but our vote did not count.

I graduated high school in 98 and reached out to two schools about playing ball for them, Kentucky and Harvard. 
They both told me to piss off.

So it doesn’t always work.

This is very interesting, generally Texas and Harvard do not agree in anything.

Great news.........let's fill up that roster with winners

[crymdg2]

Also from Stu: "Others expected on campus are 6-9 Wyoming transfer Cam Manyawu, 6-9 California transfer Grant Newell and guard Amari McCottry from St. Thomas More High in Milwaukee."

 

Manyawu was really good against us in Myrtle Beach. Looking at his box scores it looks like his play slipped a bit as the season went on, but I'll take a 6'9" kid that averaged 7 and 6 as a freshman. McCottry also looks really promising! Let's keep up the momentum!!

Does anyone know if Turnbull visited this weekend?

I remember being very impressed when we played against Manyawu. Very athletic and active on the boards. He had several double doubles, including against Texas. He doesn’t shoot 3s however.

I think I read that he’s visiting this week.

[slu72]

Well the pipeline seems to be filling up a bit. Landing the ISU trio and Turnbull would be a good haul. Is Kent or Swope a PG? 

[Scoop]

Is the PG from Creighton Visiting today?

Thanks, I didn’t realize Stu put out an article today that mentioned that. I appreciate it.
