Oh well. These freshman better be the real deal. I’m not feeling so good about the upcoming season.

I’m having trouble opening this link. If the headline is correct, I’m sure there will be others and I’ll try to post later.

This one works.

I just read where Reeves withdrew his name from the NBA draft. I’m pretty sure he did not enter the portal. Does this mean he is coming back? I guess he could go overseas.

Just read where Reeves can graduate this summer and still enter the portal as a grad transfer. This stuff is too complicated for this old man.

Livingston gone. I’ll keep posting the good news as it comes in.

I just seen a projected draft list and Oscar is last at #60. Toppin and Livingston are still not listed. After reading thru this listing I seen a lot of guys who are obscure to me, and some of them ar4e lacking in Offense or defense skills. I am starting to think that all 3 of our guys may stand a chance of getting picked. Once they get past the first half dozen there are always a lot of surprises.

All the rules at times confuse me but even if you didn't withdraw from NBA draft yesterday and if you had not hired an agent, if you go undrafted can't you still return to college?

That's the way it used to be. When we had the kid who didn't get drafted I believe they changed the rules so he could return. Not sure if that is still possible. It sure seems unfair if he isn't because he has never signed for money. If it's still a rule there could be a whole lot of kids returning because the biggest % of them aren't going to get drafted.

Right now I am really worried about next year. Our only returning players now are Thiero and Onyensu. I think we only have 7 scholarship players on the roster. This next year could be a long year unless these freshman are legit one and done guys. If they aren't, we will probably go 500 on the season. We need Reeves to come back, but we really need to find some depth on the front line and I don't know who is left in the transfer portal that could legitimately help.

My bigger concern is the year after next ukman. OK Reeves comes back but he would be done after 2023-2024. Lets say the freshman coming in this year are truly one and dones:Justin Edwards, DJ Wagner, Aaron Bradshaw, and Robert Dillingham. So they would be gone for the 2024-2025 season. Ugonna Onyenso most likely would go pro after next yesr. What do we have left for the 2024-2025 season? Reed Sheppard and maybe Adou Thiero. Start all over again.
