I normally think that too.

But - to play devil’s advocate - the players also don’t play barefoot. So if they can play in a shoe that adds 1.23 inches to their height, that means they would effectively have the added height on the floor.

I jest though as players would start wearing shoes they can’t actually play in (ie high heel stripper shoes) to the measurement session ha ha.

Team Kaluma!

What I’ve learned from this entire thread (and the 2 shuttered ones before it) is placing hope in very vague and ambiguous posts about potential gets is incredibly frustrating for literally everyone involved. Guess I’ll just wait on an announcement, but even without another add, I’m very excited about the team we have and entering the Big 12. Basketball season can’t get here soon enough!

Agree, I’m good with whomever coach signs.

This is just my assumption but after the Villanova loss in the Elite 8 2022, it seems like the motive has been to play small ball. Villanova had a much quicker front court that blew by our defenders which were Carlton and Fabian at the time…Now with the Miami loss it’s getting more players that have more offensive skills with Cryer shooting 42% from the 3 and Dunn drawing a bunch of fouls which is key down the strech. Now to compliment JWan would be to bring a strech 4 type that makes the bigger front court players tough to guard….could be a 2022 Villanova type of team in the making…

You gotta play the hand your dealt…

I agree sounds good can’t wait.

Are you talking about cards, this is college basketball you recruit the players you want.

So does every other coach… So, then you go to your next option if your top option selects another school (see Dedan…) and then your next option after that… Get it…?

Haha I’m not that familiar with the 2024 recruits so I’m not too sure maybe we will get a point in the portal.

The Jefferson kid is raw but very talent and 6-4. Do not count him out in the future. That said I could see us going portal for experience

update from HRR interview (That is still ive right now)

notes, to add a touted player, you lose players…

noted we didnt target dickinson becuase he knew we’d lose a few players… players leave when you bring in good guys

hints the roster is done… says jwan will play the 4… javier will be the 5 …and very strongly says tugler will play

openly notes the roster isnt perfect, but has faith in development

ugh. if thats the case, it means missed on everyone we targeted and ignored a lot of people we should have been looking at

Are we too afraid to lose players to the point that we won’t go for potential roster upgrades, especially at key positions where we lack experience?

Looks like Jo was right about Dandridge, though…

Seems like a perfect fit on paper but CKS isn’t interested…

Dare I say… In CKS I Trust!

sampson just noted we lost a few players becuase we just dont have the NIL to bid…

says we’ll play the NIL game a little but cant match any big program … says there was a big player we could have landed but the NIL number he wanted we couldnt match
