Not sure how I feel about McClung. He looks like such a frat bro and looks are very important to being an HYG. Plus, he might not even be eligible this year and Kuminga he is not.
Then again he’s legit athletic and having a chalk throw hammers on hapless losers would be pretty fantastic.

this is absolute poetry
He'll get a waiver and be eligible this year. I wouldn't get too worried about Kuminga. Thats a long shot..
I would love to get this kid. What’s his reasoning for an immediate waiver?
What I've read is Ewing & co. may have rushed him back from injury.
It’s Jake Crain. The dude who used to write some features for the Bunker, then left to be a juco special teams coach, and then (apparently) got fired for substance abuse. I have no idea if he has and legit info
Seems to be a nice enough guy, but I think he just runs with whatever he sees from the internet rumors
Thanks. I wouldn’t think that is a slam dunk waiver but I guess if the right Drs and Lawyers weighed in it could happen.
He’s been batting 1.000. However, seems like you’re right about the running with internet shit. Idk.
at this point I’m at “anywhere but UK or Duke” mode
same schadenfreude as Jalen in the G League > Memphis... Kuminga at Tech or the G League won’t hurt my feelings

no clue where he’s going... at this point we seem destined for another disappointment - too much talk that he wants to play point guard since that’s where he profiles as a NBA prospect
if BRUCE can sell him on playing the combo role and getting 10+ mins a night backing up Sharife, Boogs should be a no brainer... we literally have a perfect role for him and have showcased it for 3 straight years... but he may have his heart set on a different role
Sleuthing the net it sounds like we’re out of it on the super honk. LJ Figueroa and Both Gach a couple nice looking trannies. Suspect we’ll make a play on them but they don’t seem as likely to be eligible next season.
watched Gach highlights for the first time yesterday... sit out transfer or not I hope we take him
if he could get a waiver I’d take him over Mac, but regardless he’d be a perfect fit on next year natty winner
Sounds like Kuminga is trending towards the Gee League too. But yeah, I saw some Gach highlights on twitter yesterday too and he looks legit
I’ve been toying with J Will at 3 and Thor at 4 on my all things boog hoops spreadsheet. Early analysis is promising.
Not to be blasphemous but the young man appears to have better handles than Bryce ever did. Of course, his shooting form is 10x worse, but I’m sure Steven can handle that minor inconvenience

Yeah gonna be interesting to see what happens between Jay Magic and JT Thor. Both may be too good to keep off the court so one could play out of position. I'm thinking opening day lineup will be
Sharife
Flanny
Jay Will
JT Thor
Stretch
wouldn't shock me though if Justin Powell comes in, lights it up in camp, and the takes over the starting role either.

Yeah I’d feel pretty good about all those guys playing 30 mpg except Al. Although, doubt Stretch could go that long without fouling out. Got a lot of possibilities at 2 but don’t feel great about any of them being consistent studs.
I think I’d have Thor at 3 and JWILL at 4 but that can be interchangeable. I think Thor is a natural 4 though. I’ve updated my Boog starting locks:
RIFE
One of Dcam/flanny
JWILL
I know turbo is an unknown but we will need some secondary ball handling out there. He may honestly start. Some will say flanny and dcam will start together but I don’t see it. Not sure if Thor will be ready right out the gate but it wouldn’t surprise me. Powell could snag that 2 spot. I think it’ll be stretch at 5 but cardwell could take the job. Gonna be real interesting.

I’m going full Boog homer and saying Turbo is gonna start at the 2 and BRUCE has full confidence in him and that’s part of the reason we haven’t pushed for any transfers besides McClung
kid is devastatingly handsome - profiles as one of the best shooters on the team - is bigger than Jared and Davion, almost as big as Bryce - and has more promising secondary creator skills than Samir
I’ll choose to overlook any flaws and focus solely on the best pieces of our recent guards that he possesses
Sharife
Turbo
Al
JWill
Stretch
Thor playing the freshman Chuma role off the bench with the ability to swing any game and no pressure of starting
Devan as the first guard off the bench in a Malik/Samir role
and if either of them produce consistently enough to take Al or Turbo’s starting spot, then even better
I don’t care where he goes as long as it’s not Memphis... although I’d take him in a heartbeat
curious to see who else pops up on the radar as guys decide to pull out of the draft and consider grad transferring
So do we think he may get legit info or nah? He and some randos were talking up kuminga / AU on their podcast today. Says JK can’t get into duke, UK would have to make room, and tech doesn’t have room. Said he’s working on reclassifying and taking classes to do so this summer.
then the guest essentially said that AU is in a great spot currently. What do we think
