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

[SkyDivingDeacon]

Baba projects as a 4 and Wake’s offense will let him showcase his talents more than K-State or FAU. We’re in a great spot there. I hope he plays well in the G-league this weekend!

He may have Forbes rethink the strategy of never practicing free throws.

Went from Reid/Carr/Keller/Marsh to Reid/Biliew/Spillers/Abass

Cam with a hell of a good summary of where our recruiting stands and where it's heading on the other board. It's all positive stuff.

Hildreth? If so, I will gladly pay and read. If the other guy, I will laugh and pay attention to Trilly and buckets.

one for Baba and one for Lithuanian PG?

I’d take the under on him attempting 25 FTs on the season.

As long as he can rebound and defend, I don’t care if he misses all of them

At the backup positions certainly. Gonna need to see it in terms of an upgrade over Carr

Yep. We either have 2 or 3 left depending on Sallis.

3. Though only of those is Sallis if you assume he’s coming back.

Maybe not "massive", but he's a very impressive get for a backup center. Great motor, 7'2 wingspan, rebounds and plays defense. If he was going to be our starting 5 then I'd be bummed, but backing up Efton we could do much worse.

true. His highlight tape makes him look like Wilt compared to Matthew Marsh.

Another young guy, I like it!

We get Baba, the Lithuanian and Sallis returns…we are cooking with gas!

I would be pretty happy if we got just one of these things.

I think the chances of all three is pretty much 0%

 

[DeacDownUnder]

I like these pickups. Johnson is gonna be a weird fit depending on how the backcourt shakes out (and how well he adapts to being Forbes's new Damari), but a nice pickup nonetheless.

Who is Johnson?
