Buzz does so well in Juco recruiting, nabbing 6'8 forward with recognition;

“@PaintTouches: Jameel McKay was named a first team JuCo All-American this morning. Joins DJO, Jae and Buycks as #mubb players to receive those honors.”

A 6'8 JUCO AA?  Yeah I know someone who could have used one.

Sanchez.

Sanchez.

Yeah I'd like a guy with 2 yrs.  Who gets on the court too.  And can hold the fort when we lose the aforementioned Sanchez and Karr in 14

We can always let Dom play more PF.

But seriously, I'm with you moose. Could use some front court insurance for after next year. Jordan priority #1 and if that falls through get on the hunt for a developable big man.

Assume we'll get someone in the '14 class, no?

I'd like to see Dom become more of a guard. Think he has combo guard potential

I really hope jones and Felix stay. I think they have huge upsides.

Not sure we should go after a stop gap big if we whiff on Jordan. There are quite a few legit bigs in our backyard for 2015. I'd like to get 2 then

Would you rather have a freshman and continue to be that popular moniker or a guy already in the system for a year and a Sr?

Thats great but 14 is the problem.  You lose Karr, Sanchez and Gift most likely.  Thats a lot up front.

Get a juco for '14 then.  I just don't view it as a big issue, though get your point.  I'm also not so sure Jakarr is gone after next year.

Was being sarcastic.

Great evaluation of Gardner, Marquette big, who really does great job finishing, rebounding, drawing fouls and making FTs. His defense and conditioning remain issues of concerns. I wish someone could critique our main players in similar manner.

Phil Greene dribbles.
Done

Happy?

Eli Carter transferring from Rutgers.

Good. Have fun leaving the Big East! Can't even imagine how badly they will suck in basketball and football in the Big 12.

Although they have more than 10 schools, Rutgers is going to the big10

Oops that's what I meant. Rutgers is going to be as relevant as DePaul there. Look for football scores to be 42-0, 37-3, 62-14, etc. and Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, OSU, and Wisconsin to dominate them in basketball.
