Isn’t he more of a perimeter guy? I highly doubt we’re using the last spot on a stretch 4 to back up AJ. We need to find a real big man.

Yeah- hes a wing and almost the magical height if I recall correctly

You told me like three times that it would be impossible for us to land a GT big man lol made me believe it almost other than a few going to other A10 teams. Paulsen isn’t going to find one right?

I don’t know, but it’s his job on the line. It makes no sense whatsoever to not go hard after a veteran big who can allow Oduro to come off the bench.

So as far as we know, we've actually offered Otis Frazier II and taken a look at Cam Bryant? Any other 2020 guys or transfers that we are actually tied to who haven't ruled us out?

Nice way to pull this thread back together...

I guess at this point it's a coin flip between the two because Kier returning is just as good as Luke Hancock was a few years back...who is Brian Mull anyways?

GW got three P5 down transfers? Am I seeing this right???

They had 5 open spots. Plenty of playing time available and 2 of the 3 are DMV guys. Not surprising.

yep and two of them are pretty damn good. the last one Moyer will be decent and provides senior leadership for a young squad

JIM, we have plenty of playing time available considering most of our starters should be rotational guys off the bench. they aren't coming here for a reason. GW is not a higher tier A10 than us yet Christian has come in, beat our a** twice with a younger team and then gone off and snagged 4 good recruits in 2 years. We barely have 4 in Paulsen's entire tenure so far

Please stop acting like they have a set in stone starting lineup for a team that won 5 fricking conference games last season. Hartwell can barely physically survive a season and Oduro should be a rotation guy.

my gw friend said that they are over the scholarship limit now. I suspect Christian is doing the Keith dambrot approach.

which seems to be working for Keith Dambrot. ethically not a huge fan but damn they sure seem to be turning their crap programs around with the quickness. We can't even fill scholarships much less give out too many.

They certainly have adapted to the "transfer market" and how D1 college basketball has turned into a ratrace of who can get transfers. Some transfers work out some dont obviously but they obviously are trying to fill talent gaps quickly.

Take a breath buddy. It will be OK.

Another interesting big man is on the market: Makhtar Gueye from UAB. 6-10, 210. Averaged 8 and 6 as a sophomore, 7 and 5 as a junior in 24 minutes.

Could see a guy like that being part of a nice platoon with Oduro.

Grad transfer or would he have to sit for a year? Seems a little thin for that height but those are solid numbers.

I’d love to see the white board in Paulsens home office to see who they are actually reaching out to.

Not sure but it may not matter if the rules change gets passed for next season.

And of course I just saw the schools that are already involved with him: Georgetown, Miami, Ole Miss, NC State and Va Tech.

There are so few competent big men on the market, a guy like this is way overvalued.

A 5'4" 99 pound power forward from Thailand.
