Re: Portal time and names
Considering I'm not even sure that Siani is a division 1 player I think Hughley will be a big upgrade although I think he will need to spend some time with the conditioning coach this off season. When healthy he is a proven high level big and can actually hit a three sometimes, but more importantly make a layup. Things could be worse than him at five and a healthy Free at the four. Another skilled big is needed as well as either the guard from Indiana State or Toledo is a must. Claude still is up in the air, but if he does stay or we add another guard or two Trey is probably gone which is too bad. This is all speculation.

Re: Portal time and names
I'd take Caldwell or Maddox. If one comes in, I think it probably means Claude is gone, and Green as well. I'd be fine with Green going but would obviously like Claude to stay. However, with Foster already in the fold, I don't see guys like Caldwell or Maddox, who play 30+ min a game, coming here with five guys for three slots, when you include Swain. However, I think both are on the same par with Claude, and he prompted this with his intentions to at least test the portal. Hopefully, one commits. If both do, preseason top 20.

Re: Portal time and names
If you notice freshmen who don't get playing time, enter the portal because they think they should be getting more time. You will see more teams that want to get older, not younger, no matter how much we would like those guys who have been here four years. We may never see another Reggie Butler or Jason Love ever againXU_2011 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 11:03 pmGreat get by X! A 275 lb man with knee problems, who happens to also be extremely foul prone. At least Mr. Freemantle will have a friend who will join him in street clothes for half the season.
I would personally prefer to develop the 3 healthy freshmen bigs we had on the roster last year who already have been in Sean's system for a year. To each their own, I guess.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Illinois fans think he is coming to X if you believe them

Re: Portal time and names
That would be a great pickup for X especially if Claude is planning on leaving, which I'm not sure anyone knows. I think Green was leaning on staying but if we get Maddox and another guard or Claude stays Trey will leave.

Give me Maddox and Conwell, and I will call the guard/SM forward spots a strength. We still need some more big guys, but it seems like the 6'9" guys are the ones being prioritized, as Abson will be in this weekend. Lost out on Nwoko this team needs at least two centers and better three
Note Conwell decided not to visit OSU which was supposed to come after his visit to Xavier. His only visits were NCS and X Read into this what you want
