Let’s get a list going from reports. 2 names from Scarletnation

Toledo Guard - Leroy Blyden 6’1” Freshman Guard 16ppg, 40% 3pt, 85% FT
D2 Wing Sheick Samoura- Slippery Rock, Peddie School. defensive player

It’s early, but bargain bin shopping… another short scoring guard?

Everyone should stop with the "too short" comments. We've certainly seen in the tournament that guards can be on the shorter side if they are quick and can shoot. Worry more about getting big at the 3,4 and 5 spots, especially the 5. Not a bad idea to have taller guards who can defend coming off the bench - probably why they are showing some interest in the D2 kid. It's still early.

If we are looking at slippery rock players we are in trouble.

Once recruited a 6'5" kid to D2. He had two D2 offers and a bunch of D3 offers. He spent his college senior year as the starting center for Tom Penders at Houston, and then played professionally overseas. There are diamonds in the rough. The question is, is Pike good enough to find them.

His body of work in the NIL era suggests no. This isn’t Stony Brook.

was maac player of the year as a freshman

will command huge amount of money for a kid that can't shoot at all. should have seen how Marist and Siena guarded him in their tournament. defender wouldn't go near him until he was three feet + inside the three point line.

he's def a dog,not sure though he could "out athletic" guys in big ten they way he did and would get into lane at will

Sounds like a Pike player that won’t work well in the B1G especially in an offense that doesn’t generate space or open looks.
