Now that the Pav news is official, I expect Hadley to announce his commitment to us soon

Call me a pessimist but I don't think we'll be a hot target for guards in the portal. Even with Pav's spot opening up, we have three returning guards who all play ~30 minutes plus Nojus coming in.
Are Pierce and Jelani Hamilton guards?

I actually figured that Pav’s transfer offered a handful of minutes for Pierce, with Nojus taking wing minutes somewhere—he’s not just a shooter.
You don’t shoot yourself in the foot with your top high school recruits by overrecruiting them before they ever step on campus.

Hadley is 6-6 and was Colorado's second best rebounder (behind Lampkin) and best defensive rebounder. He's a bigger (tougher?) Gilbert. I think there's room for him in any lineup.
Nojus seems legit and should get some decent minutes as a freshman to help him develop. Adding him to the rotation makes me think we aren’t looking heavily into guards in the portal as the space is pretty packed right meow.
Said it several times already cant be afraid to roll w 4 guard lineups next year if you are able to land a stud guard in the portal. 6'11" 265 and 7'1" 255 pound centers allow you to do that as well.
Seriously? With King, BRE & Ward leaving and the opportunity for Omaha to step up, it will be telling if he leaves. Which is that the staff has indicated that he has a lot of “growth” yet and they can not honestly guarantee him major minutes. For all the hype about his physical gifts, he did not change enough through a long season to see the court. You could say that he was used late in the season when Watson got dinged but it was obvious he was told to get rid of the ball ASAP. I hope he does a BRE similar change from when Jones came to when he was done. I would be more concerned about somebody ($) getting in Milan’s ear.
That’s assuming Rock is ready to play a lot, which we don’t know enough about at this moment. I’m all for adding a very good guard, but think the main focus needs to be on another good 4/5. Cujo will be playing more minutes in the upcoming season as he made huge strides towards the end of the season.
My conception of him is more a smaller Tre King but with some better ball skills and was a very efficient shooter on lower volume. Easy to slot him in as a combo 3/4 IMO.
Wish we could add a slasher type . 6’6 type guy who could come in for Milan.
The concern with Omaha is more from his handlers
yes, that is a better way of saying it. Not sure about the second half, but I think some of the easy ones in the first half were missed because we were bothered by their length.
The guy that could solve all of our problems is the Okie State power forward that just entered the portal. Too lazy to look up his name right now but he’s all around solid and gives us a full roster where we can then focus on our 7-9 guys.
That was are most underachieving team we have ever had. That was Elite 8 talent.
That team was capable of fighting for the title. Prohm was just that horrible of a coach. Imagine if Otz had that roster. We would’ve steamrolled our way into the final four.
Gotta be honest. Was excited about fish, Hamilton, but I love portal season and so I’m all fired up on who our new guys are out of the portal
