Could be the big that we need and he had pretty good freshman season.
KJ Buffen committed on March 22, 2021
The Brewers were March 28, 2022
The point of me mentioning them is that if the pattern remains then we should be hearing about visits/commits "soon". Pretty excited to have somewhat of a clean slate and go into next season without having too many expectations

6'9" guy that shoots 3s at 36%. Not a shot blocker. Interesting.

Belmont’s big man has already committed to a “step-up” but won’t announce the school yet. Doubt it’s us but

guard Jace Carter from UIC and Buffalo guard Yazid Powell too

Have heard from us or committed and not announced?

followed by both Cross and Pearson so i'm assuming just hearing from us. Granted they will be reaching out to a lot since we have a need for just about every position except for maybe PG cause of Vasquez and Gaines

I imagine Bertram hits the portal and maybe Rongie. Neither get any minutes. Rongie may stay for depth since we lack that at the moment but Bertram will likely not get a shot with just the guards coming in now

Would Bertram have to sit out? He has already transferred twice

Good point. If that’s the case he probably won’t but he’ll I can’t see him getting any kind of minutes. His name escapes me but our USF transfer was a 3 point guy and he got more minutes by a mile

Justin Brown

Bertram can transfer if he graduates this spring.

very intriguing stats. And 3 years to play.

If Bertram graduates I could definitely see him leaving. I never really understood why he came. I knew he wasn't going to get any PT.

Is Cobe Williams out of eligibility?

What actually happened to cobe

Yeah no clue about Bertram. I thought he would be used similar to Justin Brown. Pass to him when we need some clutch 3s when Jelly is getting double or triple teamed but nope.

And how many games did Rongie play this year? Perhaps we are redshirting him this year since he had to play so many minutes/games last year due to injuries. I thought we were going to redshirt him last year but ended up needed him to play more.

How about 6’9” and shoots 3s at 41.5%? That is who comes to Bartow Arena tomorrow evening - Felipe Haase for Southern Miss. He is 59-142 from 3. I’m not sure our bigs can stop him.

Maybe we can put a good defender on him and keep him from getting the ball much and when he does, smother him ( even much smaller guys can pressure folks).

?BREAKING: LA Tech guard Cobe Williams will enter the transfer portal

Williams averaged 18.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists

Will have a TON of interest and is a difference maker
@TheAthleticCBB

Assuming he isn’t a problem, Cobe would be a great addition IMO. Can defend and score.
