Indy Coug

12:50pm

I don’t think we did, but had to prioritize NIL to get Demin

12:50pm

Should we have tied him up and locked him away?

Carnac

12:51pm

I really wanted to see he & Knell thumb-wrestle for caboose on the rotation, too.

SinkingQuffa

12:52pm

We certainly wouldn't be the most athletic team, but that's a lot of experience & talent.

SinkingQuffa

12:50pm

I think Demin, Jax, and Richie is a much better team defensive group

Jax didn't play much defense last year

Really need a big. Does this make Burke look at KYU more or less. Personally, I’d like someone with more experience

Blue2thebone Intervention Needed

12:30pm

So you're looking for a 6"10+ big with skills and experience?

GfB

12:31pm

Yeah, looking for Waterman. Wish Could have kept him

Blue2thebone

12:35pm

Waterman plays nothing like a big. His physicality (or lack thereof) is his biggest challenge.

KYU? Let’s make some shirts!

Hate to say it but many thinking it, Trey Stewart might be on the outside now

MajorZeus

12:28pm

He should transfer to UVU Utah state or if none of those teams have spots, he could always go to Utah as a last resort

Blue2thebone

12:29pm

Why? He’s a senior and we still have 3 spots open. He’s been a good teammate and KY may pull something out of him

Demin driving, drawing defense, and dishing to a Keita dunk is gonna be dynamic
