Not really a shot blocker. You have to remember at the time outside Kadin, Dunn wasnā€™t getting heavy minutes it was BVP and Jayden with the front court defense. I feel like Buchanan is way better if given the same opportunity.

Heā€™s a beagle and Albany is the Great Danes, it was never going to work out

I donā€™t think heā€™s the right fit here, either. Would prefer to run with Blake or Traudt or Kadin or whoever. But I think he has power 6 chops. Lots of northern NY schools or northeastern schools where he seems more likely to land.

Is Papi a shot blocker? Wall up make them shoot over the top and get buckets on the other end of the court.

Lol not the greatest example. Dont know why we would bring him in with both Traudt and Buchanan at 6ā€™10 and way more skilled. We need to add a seasoned rim protector to compliment them if Kadin leaves.

Not shooting at you. But the board GURU is on another thread convinced that USA team member, state POY, BB is going to RS. We havenā€™t had a throw it into the post and get a bucket player since Tony left (IMHO). I would like to see that again since our lead guard and his 1st year sidekick havenā€™t proven that they can consistently distort the geometry of the defense by themselves. JMO.

For entertainmentā€™s sake. TB did take two other players from his program.

Man I donā€™t even want to THINK about BB redshirting. That would be SO selfish, to try and squeeze a 5th year out of a player instead of recruiting for 4 years. Talk about self-sabotage.

Lol understood. Iā€™m just highly triggered with this conversation right now as weā€™ve just witnessed what allowing your *high potential 4 stars allows you to develop into by the end of the season, and also how injuries can occur to anybody so itā€™s good to have reserves.

I understand the sentiment but Blake Buchanan isnā€™t going to be the difference in how good we are next year. Heā€™s looking at Papi level minutes even if he plays

Really? You donā€™t think that BB will be a difference in how good we are next year? Did you say the same for Dunn or iMAC? Did you say that for Bond and Traudt? At SOME point someone has got to perform right?

Otherwise why did we recruit them?

This kid is very good. I think heā€™ll get some blue blood looks.

Dontrez Styles (UNC) is in the portal. Wouldnā€™t he be a delight for us. Athlete who can get his own shot and rebound with the best of themā€¦Would Tony take a look?
