You realize most college basketball recruiting classes are usually about 3 players sometimes 4 maybe 5 not 25 like in football. Look back at the recruits he has brought in, all or most have been top 100 guys. The problem he's had is leaving spots open. Obviously evaluation should be taken...

Why not? They have been a top 25 or close program for much of Coach L's time here.

Exactly, we might not even be having this conversation right now if his 2 best recruiting finds had stayed here for the full 4 years in Lecomte and Palmer. That 2016-17 team would have been amazing with those 2 on the squad.

I’m just not sure if Coach L or his staff is diligent enough when it comes to recruiting. After getting the likes of Huell, Brown, Walker, Newton, and the other high 4 and 5 star guys nearly everyone wanted, I just don’t understand how it is so hard finding full classes of top 100 guys. Seems...

We don’t even see Miami listed on grad transfers list of options. Are they even making contact with the Blackshear’s, Juiston’s, etc out there. I mean Juiston visited Grand Canyon University, I’m sure he would have interest in coming here.

Rayjon Tucker to Memphis. Don’t know why we never got in on him. I know our strength is our backcourt but he’s a kid who could likely play for any team in the country.

We have nothing when it comes to big men. We are in desperate need of some quality bigs.

We’re kind of at the point where we should take what we can get. We’ve stuck our at numerous grad transfers already and also never got in the game with a bunch of the top grad transfers. Pretty disappointing this staff can’t pull any quality grad transfers with the amount of playing time available.

Hope that's the case. Who have we contacted?

Troubling that with all the playing time available we are on none of those kids interested schools. Either we haven’t contacted them or aren’t receptive to the pitch from Coach L and his staff.

Eh, would be fine with taking him further down the line but right now there are 10-15 grad transfers who play the 3/4/5 positions who are better than him and aren’t essentially the same player as waardenburg.

Keith Stone is nothing like Kadji, Stone is much more like Waardenburg.

Seriously? We once had Burnett and Palmer as sophomores not making our 8 or 9 man rotation. Had Palmer and Burnett been our 9th and 10th man going into this year we would have easily made the tourney once those 3 went down.

Exactly.

How do we not have the luxury of taking the Hauser brothers? Lykes DJ McGusty Waardenburg Gak Miller Wong Beverley Walker 2 High Impact Grad Transfers (Juiston and Tucker or something similar) That gives us enough depth, experience, bigs, guards, shooting for this team to compete with anyone...

Have you read any of my previous posts or do you just like starting with people who have the most of the same opinions as you as well. I've mentioned in all of my previous posts that we need to get 2 high level grad transfers like Juiston and Tucker or something close to that. I even provided a...

I was pointing out that if we could get 2 high impact grad transfers, our rotation would be set unlike last year, we could afford to have only 11 available scholarship guys in that case. We went into last year with 11 scholarship players, 1 of them being Anthony Mack a transfer from Wyoming and...

Thanks for pointing that out. Why would I include a player who I don’t view as a rotation player, especially with that roster?

Miller shouldn’t be in the rotation whatsoever. I don’t know if 3 more eligible players are totally necessary as long as we get 2 high quality grad transfers. Juiston is a grad transfer from UNLV originally from NY, he averaged a double-double 2 years ago.

Agreed on needing 2 more eligible players. Say we get two high impact grad transfers in Tucker and Juiston our rotation would be set. Lykes McGusty Tucker Juiston Gak Bench: Wong Beverly DJ Waardenburg Walker
