Diallo or Sampson or Both?

Baldi's posts used to piss me off.  Now they make me happy.

That's just the Mullin effect kicking in.

Sampson, because he is a likely three or four year contributor & in short term we also need guards who can score.

Just my hunch, they'll both commit on Monday.

A buddy of mine is a die hard KU fan. He is doubtful that KU lands Diallo. In fact, he has heard that we are VERY much in it for him.

Seems like a Saint John's / UK battle.

whats been really eerie is poison and desco's happy disposition, its like there has been a tremor in the force.

Funny you say that because the Kentucky guys seem to think its us and KU.  LOL

Let's pray. LOL.

I read an article last night by SBNation and they think it's between us and ISU . Go figure.

LMAO, recruiting is very unpredictable, more so in college football.  However, CBB is no exception. Lots of phuckery.

Who is Tarrant?

Transfer from Alabama who transferred to Alabama from Tulane.

Both is the easy answer...but right now the biggest need is in the back court so I would say Sampson.  Plus as others have mentioned, Sampson will likely be a 4 year contributor.

I think our biggest needs are equal if we're breLimg it down in terms of frontcourt and backcourt. We have one player in each court that we can count on, and even that is pretty ambitious considering the last two seasons.

This team needs offense. Jordan will score, but he's one guy. Obekpa will probably score a little, but unless he really works on his entire offensive game this summer, we really can't expect more than 8 or 9 points per game.

If you break it down by position, IMO, it looks like this now:

PG Jordan - 20 ppg
SG Doughty - 9.5 ppg
SF Alibegovic - 8 ppg
PF Williams - 11 ppg
Obekpa - 8 ppg

What we're hoping for is this:

Jordan 18 ppg
Sampson 13 ppg
Williams 9 ppg
Diallo 11 ppg
Obekpa 8 ppg

If we get Tarrant, maybe we start 3  guards. And run the shit out of the ball

If we get Tarrant (or a different legit PG) I would love to run a 3 guard line up with Williams at the 4 and CO or Diallo at the 5. 

I think with CO and Diallo on the court at the same time, that line up would struggle to score in the half court.

Do you know something about Tarrant?  He seems big on southern schools...

Heard we were in good shape, nothing more. Just speculating
