Are we still in on Anderson? Thought he was out of our price range.

Are we still in on Anderson? Thought he was out of our price range.

Well he hasn't committed anywhere else yet and sounds like he just visited somewhere that would want him to come off the bench - tells me he is still in play. But who really knows?

I read where he visited Indiana yesterday. Stiff competition.

It's not a competition if it's about NIL. Indiana is loaded.

i'm hoping that lesser NIL but more playing time works for him

Frankly if it was all about NIL, I don’t think Mason would even be a consideration.

I thought we were out of his price range but my guess is that he didn't get what he thought he could get, so his ask has dropped. I have no idea though.

Just a matter of what type of fit and whether we can give it or Indiana. Luke Goode who hit the portal today and plays the same position as Anderson may impact things.

this is good news for us- assuming we dont play Indiana next season until the tournament

Any update on Jerome Brewer Jr? I liked his tape, and we could really lean into becoming the "bad boys" of the A-10.

He would be at the top of the alternatives list if Zach Anderson goes elsewhere. I’m with you, really like Brewer.

Luke Goode has committed to Indiana. Now we wait and see if that affects Zach Anderson’s decision.

Foul numbers are concerning. Fouled out of 9 games - one of those he only played 7 minutes in and another he only played 9 minutes. Had more fouls than rebounds on the season.

I’m fine with a project big for that 3rd slot as long as we nail a solid role player with the last scholarship.

Maybe there’s a language barrier and he thinks fouling is the object of the game.
