It appears they’re going after 2 guards, with one being somewhat of a true point and the other being a long combo, or 2 combos. Not 100% sure the direction they want to go on the offensive end after a year with Nowell.

And then an athletic 5 that can pick and roll, rim run, etc.

Rumors there may be 4 spots open to fill w/ the portal, though.

Yeah, rumors about Anthony Thomas and apparently he wasn't at the team crawfish boil yesterday, whatever that's worth.

Colbert, NGuessan, Tomlin are all rim running, athletic bigs. Don't we have more of a need for a big bodied rebounder?

Colbert played 0 minutes last year, can’t expect him to come light the world on fire in 2023.

Obviously. But what does that have to do with what I said?

He’s the only real big on your list.  Probably need another one.

Wichita State got a commit today from OU transfer point guard Bijan Cortes at the end of his weekend visit. Was hoping we'd have the same kind of news.

[MakeItRain]

Tomlin is not a big. If he wants to play in the league he's either going to need to be a much better shooter or bulk up a bit and develop a back to the basket and mid-range game. He's the ultimate tweener right now

I kinda do expect Colbert to light the world on fire.  Weird feeling that he will be my guy next season.

PORTALITY

From the outside, short visit that got off to a rough start with travel issues. Really hope Tang pulled off something great here.

Abmas and Estrada… get Sisse and we’re even better next year?

Well Estrada is not looking good.

[wetwillie]

Tylor Perry tho…

i’d say it’s impossible to but he would probably invent a robot that puts together incredibly skilled arguments which ultimately put himself, the neurosurgeon, into checkmate

Alabama.  NIL they say.  Not that ksu couldn't, but wouldn't for him.  Said he got told to go to bama.  Tang must feel pretty good about Abmas or somebody else if so.

Said he got told to go to bama.

link?

[Cire]

Word was that he left Bama unimpressed. And then things changed.

[Shooter Jones]

As we sit here today, my gut actually feels like we have a better shot of landing Estrada than Abmas.

Has Estrada cancelled his visit to MHK in 2 days?

Yeah, I'm not sure we're getting either. This is the second cycle that Tang has refused to get in a bidding war for a transfer. I think it's safe to say that he's not looking for someone who is holding out for top dollar. This is going to be Estrada's 4th school, no shade and I hope he gets his, but it's clear, for better or worse, Tang isn't going to negotiate dollar figures with these guys.

Seems like we’re trending up on both Abmas and Perry right now, I just don’t see anyway we take both.

If we don’t get either, that would suuck, though.
