There are plenty of good options out there to build out a competitive roster top to bottom.

Known studs are where the scarcity is.

The PF position isn’t gonna be the feature of this roster build so a couple swing for the fences would be just fine by me.

Similar to Hawthorne, if they pop, our trajectory will take a correlating uptick.

Any idea who else is trying to recruit him?
No one that I’ve heard, just us. He is unlikely to take the college route because he’s a lock top 10 pick next year. Been playing pro ball since he was 14 and is the best international forward prospect currently. 4-5 million and it’s a guarantee to get him IMO. We just need to make it happen. There are three high level players we are involved with all 1st round projections and then 3 second tier that are NBA prospects but not lottery picks. I want to land one from the top tier. This guy is much more proven and a better prospect by far than Miikka Muurinen.

You of all people should stop guaranteeing anything

Yes he’d be a huge get. Most likely a top 5 draft pick in 2027. Some have him projected top 3 one spot behind Stokes.
Regardless of pedigree, do you think he fits the system/could translate well to the US? Or do you think there’s better fitted players on your short list of euros?

I wouldn't think money would be an issue for us at this point. Hopefully Pope is on it. Sounds like 4-5 mil would be worth it since he's a lottery pick.

At this juncture if they can walk a chew gum we need bodies.
I think that’s the guys we got first and now will be the dudes. At least I hope that’s what’s happening here. Maybe one more bench piece along with three dogs. If that’s not the case it’s going to be a long season. I believe the guy from Clark Co who grew up loving the Cats would be the bench guy.

Add recruits, drop a bag of $$ on them, cross fingers. Literally have never seen anything like this. I check in with other programs, and you barely hear about who they're talking to (UConn, UM, Duke) and then they are signed. At UK, all 600 are on loudspeaker the minute they're talking to us through the minute they leave without accepting.

Back to an anon! Lmao. Rainmaker hasn’t guaranteed shiiit. Only gave his opinion and a few things he’s heard from knowing some people. Get over this obsession dude, meet a girl, get a pet, whatever you got to do.
Go cry about it somewhere else Mr Positivity. Rainmaker is a tool and has guaranteed a number of things while always giving himself an out. He's a fool

I’m positive you’re obsessed with him. You’ve spent the last week making a fool out of yourself and have brought nothing here. Be a real person and talk basketball with us instead of trolling. I have nothing against you and even laughed at a couple things at first but you took it too far. I’m not trying to be a punk but it’s negative enough around here man. . As Rodney king said, quit fuuuccking hitting me you bastards. 😂 lord I apologize for that and save the dying pigmies!

If we land Yimga and Muurinen to go with Ndiaye then lookout. At that point we only need a shooter and we will have such a fun team to watch. It’s a legit possibility and if not them Silva or Houindo. I don’t think people realize how stacked that roster would be. Still be a sniper guard but I think the staff has settle for Morton to do that.

Can you not pull some strings and get us Momcilovic?
