Walk on who was about to earn a scholarship.   Absolutely take him this late, worth a flyer for one season with Kante and then really push for 2018 and 19 kids.

If this is all she wrote regarding our grad transfer big, so be it. But, I was hoping for someone better. That said, he won't get pushed around.

Don't be surprised if Lube starts again next season

Not sure about that. I think the starting line up will be Severed Horsehead, Chapped Lips, Donatella Versace, Chair and Blastoma. Then coach can bring Backscratcher, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer and Bungee Cord off the bench. If he wants to go small he can use Mailbox Post and Cigarette Holder at the the three and four and if he wants to go big he can use Bottled Water at the point and that leaves Syringe, Johnson Rod and Duck Billed Platypus as the second unit.
 

No way.  Versace's going to red shirt; Syringe will transfer; and Chair will be academically ineligible.

Not happy with this.  Seems we hung our hat on Kante and added nothing thus far in off-season.  Now lots of guys off the board.  I think more importantly we need to add another recruiter/ assistant coach to the team.  We are handicapping ourselves working without Slice, and Richmond is not a replacement for a recruiter like that.

Several people told me not to worry because he hadn't cancelled his other trips. I said it was not a good thing and that if he was so much a lock he would've committed.

Okay.  I gotcha!  Nevertheless, it's still not much he can say or do, outside of saying things change or he was wrong.

Not his fault.  He has a really, really good source who is almost always too optimistic.

This year is so critical for the the success of the program. Win and good players wil want to come here. Lose this year and it's going to be tough getting top players.

I'll take the latter for $200, Alex. At this rate, won't be surprised if next year's win total is only a few more than this past one.

Surprised by the negativity on this board.  Kante is at best a 3 star; he is not going to change the arc of this program.  Would still like to add him if he wants to be here, but if not we will move forward with someone else.

This team, as presently constituted, is at least 5 wins better than last year's team.  Freudenberg gave us nothing, Ellison made most of us crazy for all but a few games of his time here, and Williams surprised us because he made it onto the court when we considered him a medical write off.  Simon and Clark will more than make up for the loss of Ellison and Williams -- they are the primary reasons why those two decided to seek opportunities elsewhere, and our freshmen backcourt will be sophomores and among the best in the Big East.  Owens and Yakwe will both be a year older and improved.  In addition, people will still be added for next season, including an eligible big or two to step in immediately.  This roster is not finished yet.  Our staff sees everything that we see and is more than aware of what it will take to win next year in the Big East.

The staff is obviously aware we need a big but this late in the game it might be tough to get one of any quality who can step in and be effective next year. We will see soon if we add any bigs of significance.

We needed a big man and they were everywhere in the grad transfer game. We have one guy over 215 lbs. Xavier and Nova always have like 7.

As constituted, we are short two PF's and our frontcourt was rough last year.  We lost interior players, and haven't replaced any.  It's real poor imo that we can't land anybody.  We desperately need PF/c's of some type to have this team do anything next year or we will be killed once again on the interior.  I can't figure out how we couldn't grab a serviceable big body or two.  I'm not even talking studs here.  At this point, without having replaced him, losing Williams is a huge loss.

This is true. He was excited when Lenny Cooke and Darius Miles opted out, because it freed up a couple of scholarships.
