I’m all for bringing in either of those guys. Will help get me excited about next year again.

Y’all I’m so bummed about the child fka Boogie leaving us but this Myreon Jones is drop dead handsome. Just trusting Bruce and Steven gonna get this squad right for our title run.

I swear to god if this child is trolling
Athletic mock has Rife at 23. I’d consider that in the realm of returning to Boog. I still place odds at approx 60% he gone despite this uplifting Twitter message.
😍He definitely has the H needed to thrive in Bruce's system.
still hoping my boogtastic homer theory that "Boogie P transferred because he wants to be a point guard but Sharife is staying" is correct. His tweet just feeds me more
No biggie there. Logically it could mean we expect to hit on some top tier transfer guards. Then again my battered boog complex makes me concerned something fugged up is going on.
Makes you wonder if Bruce suggested it may be a good idea to look elsewhere
Yeah. I imagine there a lot of post season conversations. Jamal probably got an honest evaluation. Asked if he'd be a starter or something and Bruce probably gave him an honest answer.
Yep. Also think Bruce realizes he’s gotta up the talent level at the guard positions immediately and Jamal ain’t it
Yeah I feel like it’s either that or we are getting hammered by the NCAA. Should be the former, but my inner boog won’t allow me to ignore the possibility of the latter.
It means Sharife is coming back, Alexander is expected to contribute immediately and we are signing a minimum of 2 transfer guys that will play.
Rumors from the boogosphere:
J Frank transfer is imminent.
J Will and Moore transfer possibilities.
I’d be shocked and appalled if J Will transfers. Child is gonna get his 25 mins/ gm even if it’s coming off the bench.

I’m with both of you. I don’t want him leaving and we don’t need him leaving IMO. He’s a guy that can be in an 8 man rotation, even if not starting, that can make a Final Four. If he leaves too, we’d have to absolutely kill it in the Portal to make me think we’re making a serious run next year.
Moore seems like a guy you want to be in your program 4 years. You need at least a couple guys like that
we have blood to spare as far as the front court is concerned. So J Frank leaving is no biggie. Need Moore to sick around though. hopefully Bruce can tell him he's got the starting spot on lock once Thor and Jabari go pro after this season and that convinces him to stay.
D Cam is sticking around though. And he's someone I thought could leave. We still got bodies. And versatile bodies at that. flanny could easily drop to the 2. And it wouldn't surprise me if Thor is a wing next season to accomodate Jabari at the 4. This all assumes J Will stays and plays the stretch 5. IDK. Still a top 10 squad if sharife stays. And that's without any talented grad trannies imo.

Don’t know much about the zep child but I suppose he’s at least a nice capable backup PG piece to add now if we can. 21 PER is real strong but competition probably wasn’t great.
Jones would be an ultra legit replacement for the ginger that left us. My LBS tells me he’s gonna go to bama though.
Between Sharife and whoever the fug else could leave for no reason and a zillion other guys still to be out there on the tranny market I’m probably gonna give myself an aneurysm trying to track what the squad might look like next season.
According to tbb Zep might be happening today. Believe he’s a legit defender which we need.
also rumors of Thor wanting to go Pro but he would likely get a 2nd round grade at best right now
oh god yes. A CofC boy in boogville. I'm in heaven
at this point I expect J Will to transfer... I’m sure he sees himself as a starter - and he is, he’s earned it... but we have 2 lottery picks starting in the front court next year and he’s not going to go to the bench for his junior year and trust he can make up for it his senior year
not even BRUCE can pull off that sales job
nothing has changed - everything hinges on Sharife... if he’s back we’re goin to the ship regardless of who else is here... I’ve resigned myself to the fact he’s gone and will hopefully be shocked

And I think he was much better when Sharife wasn't playing. He seemed like the guy whose game suffered the most with Sharife in the fold. Not sure why that is exactly, but he only had 4 single digit games without Sharife in 15 games but 7 with Sharife in 12 games. He still had some big games with Sharife running PG, but it didn't feel like the same consistency.
Yall gonna think I'm crazy but I don't care. I think if Thor/JWill/Jabari are all on the squad next year I still think JWill starts at the 5. We always get caught up with the offensive end, but what Bruce wants on the defensive end is going to be tough for Thor or Jabari at the 5. Thor because of his weight and Jabari because he is a freshman.
That being said I'm probably wrong, but I was also one of the only one's on here guaranteeing Flanny was a starter this year and I made essentially the same argument.

yeah. Idk. J Will will get minutes regardless. And he could start like you said. We could easily run a
sharife
flanny
thor
jabari
jwill
lineup out there. if those are the pieces we're left with. it And if Zep winds up getting the start at the 2 pushing everyoen up a position then J Will will still get 20 plus minutes a game. Hopefully Bruce can get that to him. But I also imagine he wants to play the position that he'd (theoretically) play in the league and I don't know if he's doign that right now. Even though he is kind of a Draymond Greene type player
nice thread here of some of his highlights. Probably already has the best looking J on the team now that Powell is gone. Backed a dude down in the post, and some midrange step back stuff. Nice handle too. Obviously against weak comp but the kid has game for sure
it’s easy to see how all 3 can get plenty of minutes and plenty of opportunities to show what they can do... maybe I’m just overreacting because this year has just made the Davion debacle hurt so much more, and I could see Jaylin making a similar decision if the right, or wrong, person gets in his ear
I’m excited about the Jasper pickup... I said on the bunker we essentially just traded Turbo for exactly who were hoping Turbo would eventually become... and his shot, just from watching a few clips, and at the risk of sacrilege, but watching him run to the wing in transition and get up catch and shoot 3’s, his form was very Bryce’esque
he will help a ton next year
