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

Top 20 PG coming out of high school. UL fans seemed high on his potential. Obviously didn’t have the advantage of transfer god Steve Forbes until now.

What do you all know about this Louisville kid who just committed?

Top 100 recruit out of high school. Averaged 9 pts and 3.5 assts as a freshman last year at Louisville. Louisville fans seem upset to see him go. Seems like a very fast guard; potentially pass-first. Had his best game against FSU with 28 pts and 11 assts.

He enjoys playing games and watching movies in his spare time.

Connor referred to him as a Louisville castoff. That doesn’t sound great

That’s one hell of a best game.

Highlights from FSU game

Looks insanely fast with the ball. Has a high deliberate “pounding” dribbling style that sorta reminds me of Ish.

 

[Rafi]

That’s one hell of a best game.

You can watch the game recap here - it's basically all highlights of him.

 

[DemonDeac3]

Wonder how many minutes Forbes guaranteed this kid

 

[TriadDeac]

It’s crazy how Forbes and co aren’t giving les and cam any info this portal season. This is out of left field

 

[CONeill]

I kind of regret using the term "castoff," fwiw. Just QT'd somebody saying Louisville fans would have actually preferred him returning. The stats don't paint the prettiest of pictures -- and he literally missed most of a first half because he didn't have the tights he wanted to wear -- but Louisville was obviously a trainwreck.

Here's the quick story on his commitment.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Loveeeee this get. He was a freshman playing PG in the ACC last year and had solid stats. Better defender than Boopie. Just as quick. Better distributor.

His shot will start falling. This is a good ones guys.

Conor corrected that phrasing a few tweets later. Someone tweeted that Ty-Laur is one of the 2-3 players that Louisville fans wanted to keep from the team last year.

 

[BeachBumDeac]

Yeah I’m not really sure Kenny Payne was in position to cast anyone off. More just people jumping into life rafts

 

[IamThunderbolt]

I assume this closes the books on Dai Dai unless we are striking out for our top target.

 

[wakelaw13]

After watching the UL FSU highlights I am excited. Dude is athletic and threw 4-5 passes I never saw Boopie make.

 

[BeachBumDeac]

Can we still take baba?

Yeah, the highlights look like he’s a fast, pass-first PG who should thrive in our offense.

Omg. This is the tights guy. Geez.

 

[2006deac]

So we just need another pg and center at this point?

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

lol this is the tights kid?
