WFU Hoops: '24-'25 Roster Construction Thread: +Spillers/Biliew/Cosby/Johnson/Abass

[CreamyGoodness]

Mistro of minutes: Don't we need another PG?

Kasparas, Cam and whoever we get. I think the guard we get can be a CG, just has to be able to play 20mpg at point. Maybe I'm wrong and we will need a true PG.

 

[IamThunderbolt]

Is that counting the euro kid? Or is he your stud cg still needed?

Counting Kararis

I think we need one more at Guard, Sallis or a transfer (Claude 🙏📿)

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Kasparas sounds ready to step in as a freshman and play some point

Rundown:

PG: Kasparis/Cam
SG: Sallis/Cam/Cosby/PF/Juke
Wing: Cam/Cosby/PF/Juke/Baba/Spillers
PF: Omaha/Spillers/Baba
C: Reid/Omaha

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

Kasparas Jakucionis

should he ever become a deac, the odds of me being able to type his full name correctly, no copy-paste, is quite small

 

[Coach T]

JUKE!!!!

 

[tigerswood]

Rundown:

PG: Kasparis/Cam
SG: Sallis/Cam/Cosby/PF
Wing: Cam/Cosby/PF/Baba/Spillers
PF: Omaha/Spillers/Baba
C: Reid/Omaha

Baba is 3 inches taller than Omaha and would be more of a backup C - but a versatile player. Also, the difference between the 2/3 is pretty negligible, but PFred isn't playing anything other than SG with this roster.

ahhhhhhhhh, yes lets get that stud!

We need to start workshopping nicknames.

Sounds like one of those names from the key and peele football sketch haha.

Meh, in today’s day and age of player movement I’m not really convinced a team will be reasonably able to fill all 13 of their scholarships. The end of the bench guy is almost assuredly going to transfer after the year, so why would anyone sign up to do that?

I get how it’s beneficial to the team to have the bodies for practice and in case of multiple injuries, but which type of player is signing up to sit at the end of the bench for Wake? Especially when they all could just go to a lower level school, get developmental playing time, and then transfer up when ready.

At the end of the day this is still a game of musical chairs and guys will want/need a seat eventually. There were 13 players on these teams last season and there are only so many teams and spots available. What's the alternative? Just quit entirely?

You think Coach is comfortable handing the keys to the car in arguably his most important season to a 17 year old that may only play one season?

No. Especially given his shoddy track record with international prospects.

Kaspar.....The Friendly Ghost (don't get up; I'll let myself out)

[PhDeac]

So he’s either coming back or hitting the portal?

 

[Coach T]

Definitely not the portal

 

[deacfan123]

I mean today is the last day for portal and from what I can tell April 27 was last day to enter the draft. We need some of dem SCOOOOPPS

 

[deacfan123]

I mean this is massive news right?
