Perhaps with an assist from Joakim Blom?Justin Gray lands his first recruit as a college coach:
Iona transfer Johan Crafoord from Sweden. As a freshman, the 6-8 230 Crafoord received very limited minutes under Pitino last year playing in only 6 games. Here is Iona profile: https://icgaels.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/johan-crafoord/5725
Gee also has served as an assistant or associate head coach at Youngstown State (1990-93), Ohio (1994-96), St. Bonaventure (2004-06) and Cleveland State (2007-13). While at Cleveland State, Gee helped guide the Vikings to four 20-win seasons and four postseason appearances, including an automatic bid into the 2009 NCAA Tournament, where the Vikings knocked off Wake Forest in the first round.
With the transfer portal wrapping up and next year's roster firming up, here is where WCU roster sits:
- 7 of WCU's top 8 players in scoring and minutes transferred to other schools
- Assuming he returns, Soph Tyler Harris will be WCU's most accomplished returning player. The 6-7 Harris averaged 6 ppg 5 rpg and 25 minutes per game
- No other returning Catamount averaged more than 10 minutes a game or 4 points a game
- WCU landed 4 JUCOs, two D-1 transfers (one was LaRavia's teammate at Indiana State; the other is from Valpo) and one incoming frosh, Fork Union G Marcus Banks; it appears Banks had one other D-1 offer, Hampton
The SoCon is a tough conference (although they have lost a lot of coaching talent over the last 3 years), and the WCU roster is not exactly stacked. Looking like a slow build in Cullowhee.
I love JGray, but why is a losing record "doing work"?

Who was coaching those seasons?12 wins is more than they had all last season. And the season before that. Historically, they have been a low performing team, with an occasional good year.
10 bucks and a self high five does not a cash infusion make.Small on campus arena. Cash infusion from DR.
The record doesn't matter. What is their NET and KenPOM?I love JGray, but why is a losing record "doing work"?
