  • So... What defcon are we at for securing a point guard for next season?

    How worried should we be?

    What's concerning to me isn't that we haven't landed a transfer yet. Most of these kids have lots of schools coming after them & if they're not from SoCal & have no prior relationship with our staff it's going to be very difficult to win a lightning fast recruiting battle for their services.

    ​​​​​What is concerning is that we don't appear to be involved at all with any of the recent portal entrants. We were being mentioned with all of the top guys a few weeks ago & now we are not. Do we have a kind of silent verbal from a kid somewhere? Are we waiting on a specific player? Have we pivoted away from the plan to bring someone in? Seems strange that we aren't connected with any of these kids currently.

      Maybe CAE really believes and trusts that Kobe and Boogie will handle the bulk of the Pt. Guard duties next year? Or CAEs working behind the scenes with these portal Pt. Guard recruites and just hasn't been able to land one yet There still time, as I'm sure more will enter before the 5/1 deadline. It's just maddening not hearing any chatter about it. FIGHTON!

        Yep, also my concern. It's gone totally radio silent. I guess that means they've pivoted strategies OR they just don't want to get desperate and make promises to someone lower than their expectations.

        I'm unsure how Boogie/Tre/Kobe fit into all this... Which one do we really want at point? I thought Boogie doesn't really want to be a 1 and that's not Kobe/Tres natural role either. Interesting.

          Keep in mind this is the first normal transfer recruiting cycle without any COVID restrictions in a few years. It isn’t a race to fill spots based on FaceTime calls—-players all actually have time to plan out visits. Plus coaches have to wait for the NBA draft period to end to know what the final roster/scholarship numbers look like. I expect a lot more noise and activity come June.

            DeVion Harmon is a new interesting name.

            Having said that, these transfer portal point guards are looking for a starting job at a place with more exposure. While we can provide the latter, I wonder if they see Boogie and get scared off.
