Preseason player of teh year in the Mountain West before injury sidelined him. Had 17 and 9 against us in last year's tournament. Right. I avoid sharing everyone that enters the portal, but this one seemed like a viable option for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like to see our Frontline to get more athletic and his with length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands now, I like Ike. 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did I mention shooters...yeah, plenty of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too much to ask, imo. Also needs to be able to shoot from 15+ ft and hit about a 37% clip from deep. There’s gotta be a dozen of those available! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If MR can develop his 3pt shot it might work playing together. I too would like to see get a 6”10 athletic big guy to defend the rim and rebound. Big question is can MR handle guarding on the perimeter and guarding quicker players. If he does that and gets a 3pt shot he can play with another big guy or a smaller athletic stretch 4. That could give us some versatility. I also think Banks is a guy that could play some 4 if you need to match up and small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not always fair to compare skillsets, but that is an aspect that MR could be tasked with improving. Should he do that, he'll expand his range and versatility. And to be fair to all the bigs on the roster, Banks, Duncomb and Geronimo should be challenged with improving their handles as well. I don't think anyone is content with being one-dimensional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison22 Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Sorry if already posted elsewhere: Rick Pitino is telling most St. Johns players to leave because he doesn't want them. Maybe all but one to go. He will recruit the transfer portal hard. Woodson and staff have a 2 year head start on Pitino. Both teams need up to 4 new starters, plus benches. Who will recruit better between now and next season? https://www.foxnews.com/sports/rick-pitino-most-st-johns-players-wont-be-on-team-next-season Edited March 22, 2023 by Madison22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hired Pitino to clean things up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
