Nojus will not be redshirting next year. He will get some nice minutes for a true freshman. Maybe not Milan type minutes, but he will play
***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***
- Thread starter Messi
- Start date
There is probably some truth to this. If you want to be perennially on the top end of the high majors, you maybe sign 2-3 high school kids each year assuming at least 1 of them will be good enough to immediately compete for a rotation spot. If they aren't good enough for rotation minutes, they are encouraged to transfer down and you replace their scholarship with a transfer. Rinse and repeat.
120 minutes?! You know each game is only 40 clock minutes, right? Or are you saying games typically last 2ish hours?
What is 40 x 3?
I’m saying it’s 120 total minutes across 3 guard spots (40 minutes x 3 positions).
It's a lot of pressure to have on a freshman's shoulders to expect to come in and be consistent in a high major program and be a starter in the best conference. I thought he handled it well and when Chris said he got Niang vibes with the post game interview, I did too.
This is my "I can't find where my Math 150 final is" nightmare all over again
For me it’s the “I’m showing up to the final but didn’t go to any classes all semester” math nightmare
Kyle seems to be the only "big" guy we're really involved with (at least from what I've heard). If we land a big (I'm kind of meh on Kyle and think there's better guys we could get) and Rock is ready to contribute 10+ minutes a game then I think we're in decent shape with Jackson, big man, Rock. I just haven't heard anything other than Kyle and he looks like a Nebraska lean at the moment.
Hopefully Kyle commits given the other prospects. Gives us a true 4 that can play the 5. Allows Mom to stay on the wing. Watson can back up 3/4. Also allows the pipe dream I have of JT playing the 4 some.
No, it’s that some fans can’t read
IF we add those transfers, this past season’s Milan won’t be playing 30 min/gm, and isn’t a lock to start
That’s not proclaiming he won’t improve and fend off the addition of 4 high level transfers (plus Rock and Nojus) to maintain his minutes
It’s very unlikely if we add those 4 transfers, the minutes of the returning players don’t go down.
According to info on Fanatic we have contacted:
Joshua Jefferson 6’8” st Mary’s
William Kyle 6’9” SDS ( visit this week )
Pharrel Payne 6’9” Minnesota
Eric Dailey 6’8” Okie State.
Nobody here knows our level of interest, except for the Kyle visit.
Again - it appears to me we are after a big guard/wing and a traditional 4. Makes total sense to me.
Fair enough. I think we're just making more headway with the guards we're in contact with, making it seem like we're chasing guards harder than big men. Which one of those four would you be most pleased with?
I could be wrong, but I'm envisioning Kyle splitting C minutes with Jackson in the same vein as BRE/Ward. The Tre King 5 minutes being filled by Rock. Would guess the 4 minutes would be split by Milan/Watson/Hadley if we land him.
I’d be thrilled with landing Kyle, but perhaps their thought is playing Kyle and Jackson together isn’t ideal
Dailey would be a guy that can play the 4 with Jackson
Keep in mind big men are more sought after and command higher NIL in general. It may be that Kyle is the only one who's reciprocated interest. It may be the staff is all in thinking Kyle is their guy
I have never seen any of them play other than Kyle. Based upon what I read give me Payne - BUT- highly uniformed opinion.
Kyle was the Summit league DPOY.
5 was the obvious top priority - already secured. I suspect they are going after the guard and 4 spot equally hard.
It has long been rumored Heise to ISU. That and proximity may be making that more rapid. Hadley appears to be a two horse race and it seems he intends to decide soon.
Eric Dailey Jr would start and play 30 minutes plus a game
I'm a fan of Dailey but think 30 minutes isn't easy when you already have Dishon in the mix (I think he might be a more complete guy right now than Dailey, but I'm no expert) and possibly Rock ready to make some noise. If Dailey came in he seems like he'd be in the 22-27 minute range, which isn't bad at all.
