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

[birdman]

I've always had a couple sources about as close as it gets...top-8 scoop guys...but NO one, including them, will give me anything these past 2 seasons that we can't get from Trilly, or ultimately DDD when they release it.

If these folks aren't talking to Les and Cam, they aren't talking to me. It's a as tight lipped as it's ever been

@Donkey Deac Doug has scooooops?

 

[warak]

With Kaluma from KSU entering the portal, I'd throw the farm at him as a Baba replacement if we lose Baba to KSU

wow, he entered the last day he could. also put name in draft, but i don't see much hope there for the young man (6'7" pf and not a great shooter).

i speculate if this has any Baba issue included

The deepest and widest of scoops.

 

[BeachBumDeac]

if we get Baba in the next day or two then @DeacsATS needs to start up the 24-25 schedule thread

 

[DeacsATS]

I thought we already had something going... No?

Is that my responsibility?

Some of the ESPN MTE names leaking out, but nothing concrete. I think UF is also in that field. It's funny to me how we seem to run into the same teams a few times over a few years and then not for a long time. LSU & UGA for example.

pretty much any deacs hoops thread intended to last more than a week or so are your responsibility to start

 

[DeacsATS]

done

It's pretty bare bones, though.

Gotta wait a few months to hear about those tasty matchups against NJIT or Elon.

RJ Davis back with the holes

 

[DeacDownUnder]

Vanderbilt's Ven-Allen Lubin has entered the portal. Tough kid. Great nose for the ball. 12.3 ppg and 6.3 rpg. He'll have a bunch of teams after him.

 

[Biff Tannen]

That would have been Uncle. Cardinal Arinze was the uncle of the one time Wake basketball player.

Are you trying to tell me that Popes don't have kids ?

 

[deaconson]

RJ Davis back with the holes

Are you saying rj is still a hole?

 

[deaconson]

Are you trying to tell me that Popes don't have kids ?

None they acknowledge

RJ Davis back with the holes

This was news a week or two ago. Why are people (and I mean journalists) all reporting on it again today

 

[CONeill]

Because it was only reported he was returning; now there's been official word from RJ Davis.

(I'm not disagreeing with it being silly for people to act like this is breaking news)

Was waiting to see how long it took for someone to notice his name on the NBA list everyone thought Hunter wasn’t on.

I mean it's not really surprising Baba was there given he declared for the draft, more surprising Hunter wasn't on.

 

[Deaconblue]

Just clarifying the relationship between a former Wake basketball player and the individual who was a member of the College of Cardinals.

 

[Pilchard]

The fact that RJ Davis isn't even testing the NBA draft waters shows that Davis understands his ceiling. Just amazing how UNC has managed to find highly rated recruits who are very effective college players, but have no NBA future.

 

[Deacfreak07]

@Donkey Deac Doug has scooooops?

Just call him Tostitos.

 

[Deacfreak07]

Depends what you mean by the word “have”.

Wake just seems not to get enough who are effective college players
