I can tell he's got a lotta "want to" but...
Prepared to be pleasantly surprised
Pleasant isn't really the term I would've used.
I hope the kid plays again, hope he contributes.
Having said that, we need real bigs with real futures.
Agreed...Happy for him if he plays again and doesn't get hurt...That is a good story for CHAD...But I don't think he moves the needle much for our team.
IDK. Would like to have played at Tulsa and at UCF with Chad to see. Even if he's only getting Taco Bell minutes, I think it makes some difference in those situations.
Obviously, he makes some difference. He's a big man with a pulse.
It's why some of us were alarmed that so many schollies went unused going into this year...a body is a body is a body.
Either way, main point was more that it's great if Chad rehabs and plays again and is on the team, but they've got more work to do...as was said last summer, can't rely on a guy with his injury history...adding ankle problems to his hip problems only proves that even more.

Idaho was a good friend and a good dude
He was a wonderful man and I miss him, although I never met him in person.

Diong just committed to play for unlv. Hopefully we get Malik Ondigo, he has a great jump hook

No real reason to be negative. It would be rather incredible to get nobody.

It'd be rather incredible to get someone in the late period who can play meaningful minutes

That's not actually true. I'd say that most of those guys who they are recruiting would contribute.
Let's say you are right. What would you have them do? Everyone come in off the road cause we aren't going to find anyone any good. Or, keep working, looking, and recruiting??
