Bring him on as long as he can dribble. I thought “College Basketball Crown Tournament” contestant Baylor was the favorite though?
SDSU Miles Byrd schedules announcement
- Thread starter BBNUK4Life
- Start date
Butler could D up if Elmo from Sesame Street were his coach
I hear it's Baylor we'll see
Pretty solid
Do you know how many more shots every 4 games would have had to go in to get you to think he's a good shooter?
1....every 4 games
37% and that seems to be the magic number in the heads of our fans

I hear its Kentucky we'll see
I was gonna say, anyone got a reliable source either way? Would like for it to be UK. We can always use great defenders. And this kid is highly ranked in the portal for a reason.
Every portal ranking ive seen on various sites has him ranked high on it so he has to be a good player. I hope we get him
A defensive player who can't shoot? so we are trying to remake last years team.
This is the type of dude we want. Not talking about honorable mention defensive team, he's the defensive player of the year in a solid conference. Kinda guy you can pitch to other portal guys to play next to as well as he won't demand a ton of shots. This would be a big positive if he decides to come here.
Or 1 every four games doesn’t go in and he’s 23%? We have a two year sample here.
We were mentioned as a possibility when he entered portal . But everything since has said Baylor. And a quick commitment leads me to believe it’s Baylor.
They said one school and they show a picture of Kentucky, Oweh actually, replacement, so I'm going to say cats.
Exactly.You are worried about a dude that is a great get in every other aspect but if he had only made 1 more of those shots every 4 games he would be acceptable. He's got skills that will make up for 1 possession every 4 games is my point.
Providence seems to be the pick. Would make sense with the coach tweeting his shark gif
Here’s a relatively long highlight reel. Shows both offensive and defensive highlights.
Dude is not afraid to pull up from 28-30 feet. Seems like the landing on his jumper is very inconsistent but his form is good. Without looking too into his stats my guess is his 3pt% could be improved with some work on his feet and better shot selection (hopefully in the context of good offense).
Looks like a good passer. Guessing he gets a little wild with a few. Aggressive to the rim doesn’t seem to be afraid of contact. Active,
fluid player. Great instincts defensively with long arms
I’m excited about the prospect of this guy, hope he picks UK.

Didn’t see this before I posted. That sucks I like this guy.
He is rated very highly so he must be good at something.
I'd rather have them both lol.
He won defensive player of the year at least once in that conference.
Is this going to be the trend like last year? See a portal player we’re in on and the next day he ends up somewhere else?
So he’s going to providence now and not Kentucky or Baylor? Freaking portal season
We could have something that resembles a press with him. Looks to score mostly from steals and cutting for layup/dunks so pretty exciting prospect. Doubt we get him but stillAnother “defensive stopper”don’t get me wrong we need a good defender though we desperately need 3-4 players that are volume scorers, especially one at the SF slot.
Pope recruiting low level talent again we need shooters that are makers he will fail miserably in the portal and not land one top talent. We are doomed get this guy the hell out of here now somehow.
Would be a great piece and start to a great class. Put him on the best player and it gives you a chance with some scoring around him. I hope they’re right. Kam came along before he got hurt and improved on defense so we should have some energy if nothing else. lol.
He was one of the best defenders in college basketball in 2024-25.

Take note that most of the highest impact defenders in basketball are rim protectors. That's just how it works since solid defense at the cup is simply more valuable than perimeter defense. This Byrd kid is putting up similar adjusted plus/minus numbers *as a guard/wing defender*. That's incredible.
Well quit reading. lol
just kidding. I heard it’s that way as well. What time is he supposed to announce?
How do you see that? I just went to the site to research and I see nothing that would lead me to think that. (I am unfamiliar with using the site BTW.)
In fact, basically no portal players have a "Crystal ball" projection.
I don't even see any place where the site mentions the top interested teams.
Edit: I take that back. I see the site says Magoon Gwath is 100% Crystal ball for UK.
Is this something to "goon" over? IDK the player.

He’s the kind of player who ends up being a glue guy on an NBA championship team. Hopefully a college team if he chooses Kentucky.
Love to have Myles but speaking of Providence, I’d really love Steven whatever his last name is. Haha. Can’t understand why we haven’t made a huge offer to him. Kids going to be great next season I believe.
It is what it is, just Got to roll with the news my friend. We’ll end up with some good ones, I just hope most are closer to great.
