I am a complete idiot when it comes to basketball so this is probably a very noob question but we were a very good defensive team last year, yes? Reink is returning or can if he chooses which leads to my question. Is the staff recruiting mostly shooters because they're comfortable with the bigs or is there a lack of transfer talent in the big man group? If Reink doesn't return, do we have a replacement for him?

Getting Willam Kyle would be big cause he is an athletic big and a pretty good defender. Would fit nice next to Mast if he does come back.

We still going after Omaha Biliew?  I certainly hope we can pickup a commitment from Milicic as well.  If we miss out on milicic, I’d still be happy with the guard and the center from Minnesota as well.

Have not seen anything on Biliew in quite some time. 

Boom!

Where is he from originally?

 

 

Missoula, Montana 

Maybe it is just me, but the site only works like maybe 1 out of every 5 times I open it. It crashes and have to leave and come back until he finally works.

Started his career at Virginia. Spent the last 2 seasons at Charlotte. Averaged just under 13 points 9 rebounds and 2 assists this year. 49% from the field 38% from 3.

We went after this guy last year, right?  Looks like he averaged 8 and 4 at OU last year coming off the bench.

Yeah. Would be a decent get. Need all the help we can get in the big man department

Visiting for a 2nd time has to be a good sign

I've got a different take on the guy. I see a competent but not especially gifted 7' 4" athlete who gets most of the team's offense funneled to him. Given so many mismatches, he's going to get his points. But with a little bit of defensive strategy and talent, he and the team become a lot less efficient. Even with his incredible advantage, he's not a great finisher. 

 

Mostly what concerns me, and would keep him off my draft board, is watching him stand flat footed, arms at his side, as a Husky player drives past him. How often he's out of position, or makes no real effort for rebounds. Or simply has them taken out of his hands by a more motivated defender.

 

I think the NBA will eat him alive.  

Yeah. He shouldn't be drafted in the lottery and be expected to be one of the top guys on the team. Now if he was a backup big that played like 10-15 minutes a game he could be useful in that way I think.

We got one!

Got a CB for N from Trieu and also a prediction from Wiltfong

Would have liked to have Lawrence back but maybe it means good news in the portal?

Was just about to post that Mav. Big time grab for On3. Doing this on April Fools day is funny though 

One to keep an eye on
