When do the foreign players arrive?

Lefty in early August I read somewhere

 

[Wolfie]

Lefty turns 18 on August 2nd. Young kid.

 

[SJU85]

When do the foreign players arrive?

The 1st one .

As mentioned in the Lefty thread, early August to to his National U18/19 Team commitment.

I don’t know if Prey has any similar obligations or commitment.

I need to see a real height on him too. I’ve been working off 6’3 based on the eye test and some early listings. If he’s a legit 6’5 that changes a lot for the next level.

Check yesterday's paper. There'a picture of Pitino working him out in the gym with Maker in the background. He appears to be around 6'10".
With Iwuchukwu & Zuby at the 5, Prey and Zuby at the 4 (assuming he can play there) Jaiden Glover (ranked # 58 is the country) and our other highly ranked incoming wing, Lefteris Liotopoulos, we're stacked with our remaining roster.

Last I heard from someone who was on campus was Zuby definitely not a 4 but that was a over a month ago

Heard the same. He can always split playing time at the 5 with Iwuchukwu. Lot more options this season.

It will be a process getting him there. If we want to retain him, he’s going to have to see time at the 4 against bigger teams.

I think he can play the traditional 4, just not the stretch 4

From what I've heard, he ain't getting minutes at the 4 over Prey.

I don’t think he’s ever been a 4. He’s a very mobile and athletic undersized 5. We have tons of long athletes that can play a stretch four or combo forward roles.

I don’t think Prey is playing any 4.

I don’t think Prey is playing any 4.

Why? Where do you see him playing, if at all?

 

[Marillac2]

Why? Where do you see him playing, if at all?

I see him getting all of his 20 minutes at the 5.

Zuby?
IWUCHUKWU?

Scott, Luis and Dunlap playing more of a four would make sense to me.

 

[RedStormNC]

Scott, Luis and Dunlap playing more of a four would make sense to me.

I see all of those guys getting most minutes at 3/4

Richmond/Smith/Wilcher getting something the most of combined 80 min at 1&2.

Lefty getting some cleanup

Then Zuby/Prey/Vince at 5, with some at 4
