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

[Pilchard]

Wow. Portal kings. In your face LSU and Arkansas (didn't hurt to have Musselman leave town yesterday).

 

[BeachBumDeac]

So how is that going to work with eligibility? He's a senior on the court right? He's played 3 years of college ball (2 at community college though, do those count the same?)

 

[deacfan78]

Tell me about Spillers!

 

[atldeac23]

Thought we couldn't accept juniors? Something something credits? Or was that just hot air from Cam/Les to cope with recruiting losses? Here's Tre'Von Spillers career:

2021-22: USC Salkehatchie
2022-23: Moberly Area Community College
2023-24: Appalachian State

Maybe he's willing to come in as an academic junior even though he only has one more year of basketball eligibility? Idk

Great App St center that was part of the best team they’ve put together in a hot minute. Had a double double against us in the NIT

Viiiiibesssssss

That rule was before Efton Reid whispered in his ear.

He's listed as a SF. 6'6 seems small for a Center. But shit's crazy now with all those 3's.

 

[deacfan123]

This feels pretty fucking huge right?

 

[deacon14]

Assuming that the rotation is Reid/Carr/Spillers, it's going to be weird when big man depth is a strength on a Forbes team next season. The only other team that had a good big man coming off the bench was 2021-2022 with Khadim Sy

 

[BarcaDeac]

so all those App rubes came to the Joel and we stole their player after beating them

And that team was good, good enough for the tourney.

 

[MichDeac25]

I have to think we're still recruiting the dude from SDSU. Spillers is not a Center. He's a slashing forward.

 

[EssexThayer]

Breaking news in story form here.

 

[guitardeac]

We need shooters.

 

[KennyRogersRoast]

Brickus is a terrible name for a basketball player.

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

okay time to start learning some new guys

Spillers is an athlete. Hard nosed defender. Gets points off of rebounds and out running the break. Is a guy that would match up with big wings like Hinson from Pitt. Brings a toughness and edge.
