What the heck does that mean...He was a perimeter player on offense. A wing...Just like Nolley was...

Only difference between him and Nolley is DJ had to guard the bigger player. If DJ had an issue with that than he needs to toughen up.

I think it has more to do with not wanting to defend the 4 or 5 than it does playing on the wing on offense.

Which brings us back to Dedric and KJ, and specifically anyone that wants to talk **** about them while they were playing.

Well, Penny put the hard sell on Johnathon and Chandler about coming. Invested 2 hours in a Zoom call with the whole family - Uncle Chuck and KJ included. 2 weeks ago now. Still no commitment. I think the presser yesterday and the release of next year's roster - along with the comments about 2 currently open schollies, but we're looking for guys who fit their roles - was part message to The Family. If they don't commit this week, I look for Penny to get 1-2 more guys from the portal.

I just don’t see how adding them accomplishes Penny’s goal of assembling a tougher, team-first roster. This family averages 1 transfer per kid and turns basketball recruiting into bad reality television. Do we really need this drama? Take a step back and go find another versatile big man and a 6’4” PG... and let the Lawson’s join their cousin down in Starkganistan and make Ben Howland’s life more miserable than it already is.

They currently average 1.3333333 transfers per kid.

I could see adding them. Chandler would be a good backup to Deandre. And he would likely accept that role, knowing he should start next year, and he can't really transfer again. Johnathon would be a backup CG, and grow into his minutes as a freshmen. They would be good pieces this year, and potential starters next year.

Latest word from Jason Smith (who calls Keelon every morning) is that Creighton is going hard after Johnathon, to pair him with Mason Miller. (Creighton lost their entire starting 5, and have had 1-2 decommits). That could leave Chandler for us or Arkinsaw (who only wants Chandler, anyway). In that case, Penny might be okay with taking Chandler now, and Johnathon in a year or 2 when he inevitably transfers.

But if nothing is announced by tomorrow, I'm betting Penny walks away and goes after other guys.
