To be fair, that whole team at A&Ms was underachieving.

I've got confidence in our coaching staff to turn him into a WAC destroying big.

A true big man. 2 years of eligibility. Does this move Gavin to the 4 slot? Can we run a PG and two combo SG/SF ?

Lol. I can get this. I do the exact same thing.

But if he decides no to SFA basketball, can we get him some reps at TE?

I don't blame him. I know he loves SFA and what they can do here, but the money in Europe has to be enticing...

I thought that was who we were chasing at A&M. He will be a defensive presence on the court. I saw him in a video a few months ago in which he said that he prefers playing defense. If we can get 5 or 6 points per game from him I'll be happy with that, particularly if Gavin comes back to provide offense..

He'll probably up his points per game a decent bit simply by virtue of not playing SEC centers every night.

That actually makes a lot of sense, Texan!

But seriously, that's a great point.

Read where he missed both summers at A&M. Hasn't had time to develop skill levels. Enrolled when school started one year and COVID issues next year. Hopefully the coaches can develop him. Lots of upside! Wish coach Cox was still around to hone his skills. A 6' 10" big presence will be a big asset!

It will be interesting to see who we hire to replace Coach Cox. Someone with experience in working with big men, I assume.

From an earlier post. Change the signed to five and adjust accordingly.

Not any easy question to answer.

Thirteen plus any returning seniors is maximum.

Finished the season with eleven on the roster. Four have entered the portal. Have signed four.

Assuming Ware, Kachelries, and Kensmil do return, there are two open to get to thirteen. Because of the three returning seniors that don't count, could be up to five.

Assuming none of the four in the portal return. Confident KJ and Brown are gone. Daniels most likely gone. Johnson has been said he wants to get closer to home. His only offer so far is Nevada which is a long way from Little Rock. If he was to return, he doesn't count. I don't see him returning though.

So, somewhere between two and five. I think.

To expand upon what No-look said....

While Aku was never able to get going in Aggieland, some of that was due to some unlucky circumstances that held back his development after graduating early from high school. In A&M Coach Buzz Williams' first year at A&M, Aku arrived on campus late and therefore did not go through summer workouts with the team. He still made some contributions as an energy player off the bench, but then had last summer wiped away as a result of the pandemic. Williams noted during the season that was the first time a player has not gone through summer workouts with the A&M staff since Jae Crowder where the staff specifically focuses on drills and player development.

"Specific to Jonathan Aku, he was admitted to Texas A&M the Friday afternoon before school started on Monday so last year he did not have a summer with us," Williams said prior to the Kansas State game. "He's the first player in my career who never had a summer with us since Jae Crowder, who was a junior college transfer who was in summer school. Then this summer I sent our guys home because of the pandemic so Aku has missed both summers."

Nonetheless, he still has three years of eligiblity left with experience playing in the SEC. One of the highlights of Aku's time came back during the 2019-2020 season where he pulled down seven boards in 18 minutes of action in a big road win over Tennessee. That same season he also pulled down four rebounds in 16 minutes of action against Auburn.

I think rebounding is a big part of our game, as it is with everyone of course. But we do well traditionally on offensive boards. More offensive boards = more shots = more points.

Interestingly enough, last year we ranked 54th in Offensive Rebounds, but 261st in Defensive Rebounds.

He moves very well. He's mobile and not just big. Maybe it's just me seeing him in one game, but he looked a little timid with the ball on offense. I'm betting that our coaches can fix that.

If we can get that evened out, we could really do some damage to teams.

Those defensive extended possessions hurt us more than once this year.

Continue to hit the transfer portal or look for some passed over HS talent?

With multiple spots left, I'd like to see us do both. We've got a pretty good squad of experienced players, with only Tezeno (HS), Posey (injury) and Moor (JUCO) not having D1 game experience. But I think it's going to be more ideal to keep going in the portal. Still a lot of talented kids there.

Ware/Kachelries/Kensmil obviously is the big question mark that would make a difference on who we go after.

G - Ware
G - Kachelries
G - Posey
G - Hawkins
G - Jossell
G - Tezeno
G/F - Moor
G/F - Hall
F - Solomon
F - Kensmil
F - Nana
F - Aku

Please no injuries this year. I really wanted to see Posey play this past year. D1 is a lot different from high school but I think Posey and Tezeno can adapt quickly...Nana was a pleasant surprise to contribute as a freshman. I really thought it would take him a year. I wasn't wrong just mistaken. Lol

Excited about the pickup, but that may be the least impressive Rivals highlight reel that I've ever seen. Can't teach size!

Distance from Murfreesboro, TN to Little Rock, AR is approximately 375 miles. Distance from Nacogdoches to Little Rock is approximately 293 miles. Blessed to receive an offer farther from home??? Something is not adding up.

At least he's getting offers and getting the opportunity to play. Being close to home doesn't have to be his only factor for wanting to play elsewhere.

Think there's a couple factors there. One, if he maybe wants to play for a different school, wanting to play closer to home is natural.

But you can't join the transfer portal just for "if I get offers in a geographic reason" and if I'm another school, I'm absolutely calling Cam regardless of how far I am from Little Rock.

And as we know, folks like to offer who's a hot commodity, so if he's not getting bites from UALR, Memphis, Ark State or Arkansas, makes sense to promote other offers and make them see what they're missing.

If he comes back I'll be happy, if he plays for anyone but Sam I'll be happy. Dude put in 2 great years for the Jacks.
