šŸ€ Portal Season Continues

In my morning haze this was one of the first tweets I saw and mistakenly read it as Malik Thomas and was really excited that he must have gotten his waiver and I missed it. False alarm :frowning:

Excited about Makilan as an OT, but admittedly a little heavy for a SG, and in trying to spell Makilan, realized just how close those names are.

Where’s that guy who does the Saban impersonation on twitter? I need this scene reenacted.

This is why I’m not so high on Claude. We have a pretty good set of guys in the backcourt already, no need to risk it!

Also I am not exactly counting on Gertrude and Mallory this year, but I do sort of expect at least one of them to be a pretty solid contributor and both should be decent at getting their own shot.

Adding Claude woukd make it easier for those other playmakers to play. His presence takes pressure off of them. I agree that I would absolutely take Malik over him but Claude does raise the ceiling of this team considerably (from an 8-9 seed to a sweet 16 team) IMO

Yeah, your two posts are where my head is at.

Why risk it? Because we might be better if we do, but also we might be worse.

Without adding someone else, I’m a little worried we forget about the dudes.

Let’s add this kid at the 3 with Malik Thomas’ money

Thank you, happy to be here, but I wish to make it very clear for those that may not be aware that I am not from Vinton and this is libel.

That would be great, but it seems like he made his choice when leaving Europe for the NBL (i.e. articles talked about how he considered the college route and chose elsewhere).

Hilariously, UTEP’s fans have a thread dedicated to (delusionally) going after him: Karim Lopez /Mexico/Utep | UTEP Miners fan forums - MinerInsider

Was this pre or post wild bags being thrown?

@UVApride7 LeJuan Watts removed Texas Tech from his bio and took down his Texas Tech official commitment and signed post (still has some Texas tech commitment stuff up though)

I think Lopez signed with the NBL last offseason: Mexican forward Karim Lopez dreams of shooting hoops in NBA

Lopez attracted interest from American colleges, but he wouldn’t have been eligible to play until the 2025-26 season. He also said that he considered the G League Ignite before the NBA closed the program after last season. Lopez ultimately decided that joining the NBL Next Stars program was the best option and signed with the Breakers.

I’m trying to get in Fresh’s head here. He knows @Bedfordhoo from Vinton. So either everybody west of Charlottesville lives in Vinton or every small VA town is Vinton, or all the nice people are from Vinton.
