2024/2025 Roster

Yeah competing with the pros is different than competing with the rest of the portal. In RJs case it might be the former.

We're lucky that this is a really loaded draft class. If he's not getting a first round pick promise, the money could be right for him to come back to college. Bronny James broke the record for 2nd round pick $$$, and it is slightly over one million...

With every "Top100" signing i see on X... i am reminded that we are completely ignoring the class of 25...

We brought in 6 freshmen from '23 /'24.... so we do have players in our system that are being developed- 2/3 of which will be significant contributors this year... one can hope we retain all 6.

Kadary/Scott - gone.
Smith - not sure his story... but he is the kind of player that stands to make more in College than pros next year (if he has 1 more)
RJ - gonna be tough to convince him to stay... if he only just maintains the play/effort we have seen in 4 games... let alone Improves*... he will be on a lot of Draft radars come March....

gonna have to reel in some big fish from the Portal this season....

I was surprised to read that RP does not anticipate signing any players in the class of 2025.

Not worried about portal game under Pitino regime. I worry what kind of bait we’ll be using when he decides to retire.

If we didn't prep for and play N. Texas last year, wonder if Scott would have even been on the short list to consider

i was surprised too.

but given how coach rarely plays freshman, it makes sense.

i'd rather physically mature juniors and seniors than someone like sim or brady who need time to develop.

coach knows clock is ticking. we need to win now.
