S. Payne to New Mexico State

Pending approval for 5th year. I don’t understand moves like this. Is NMSU really paying him more money then we did?

How are these guys so willing to pick up and go to a completely new place every year where they know nobody or anything.

I assume NMSU may be paying him as a starter. He’d be the backup here. Maybe he wants minutes. Maybe Sha didn’t want him.

He started over Hines. You don’t think he would start over Copeland or Williams. You’re out of your mind

I doubt it, but when Holloway and his staff worked on building this roster, it was with the belief that these guys would have exhausted their eligibility, so there are no spots left for him on our roster now (at least at his position; he cannot play the 4).

So you go where you can.

 

[joeyklings]

We have several open spots lol

Again: not at his position, which is strictly center.

We need a PF not a center. We are building a roster not a fantasy team.

Our last two gets will be forwards with size.

@Halldan So we won’t be getting Chaze Harris?

I was told this morning the Italian player is close to a done. And the final player will be a PF. But I don't have a name although we have been looking in Europe for such a player.

It's doubtful we will be signing a 5th year player.
