Good to have guys that know the system to build around, but that list doesn't really scream that he's a guy that people believe can play at this level. Hopefully he comes in a crushes it though!
If I understand Bucky's system correctly, he'll want a full roster of guys that can see playing time. Even if Josh is not top tier status, he's been in Bucky's system and can help others adapt to it.

The pickings are somewhat depleted this year, and Josh looks to be a solid year 1 addition, as he saw considerable playing time on a tournament team.

Fill it. Then next year, improve upon it.
yep, given the constant up tempo on both ends of the floor, I think you have to just have bodies to rotate in, even if they're just minute gappers playing 7-10 mins a game

Payne and Solo are already committed to Maryland.

Agree he's likely going to bring at least a couple of guys because it will help with team building. You need some guys in that locker room that know what he's going for.
Solo would have thrived in Bucky's system. A shame he was so quick on the decision. Must just love how Buzz insists he's the smartest guy in the room.
Solo would be great in the press, but I'm not sure if there are any defensive systems he wouldn't be great in. The problem is that he can't shoot well enough to be involved in Bucky's offense. The best offensive system for him to show out would be an awful one like Buzz's where there are plenty of misses to offensive rebound

On the real, can anyone tell the new coaching staff to highly consider recruiting from Juco, specifically SPC. I know personally they always have skilled players.

These are the type of players we should go hard after.

Lampkin's gotta be a head case but maybe worth the risk for a season

He got kicked off of Kansas states team, so idk if there are gonna be any issues there, but he's been great in buckys system before. He scored 16.1 a game in only 23 minutes per game and shot 44% from three

I'm sure Bucky wouldn't entertain bringing him in unless he's got a good handle on his situation.

If we actually get the top returners and transfers from last year's Samford team, plus Staton-McCray (havent heard much on that), and Achor Achor is eligible as well, then that quite quickly becomes like a really solid foundation.

It'd be nice to start getting some news, also interested to see whats going on with filling out the staff too.

Assume Achor still has eligibility?

How does Lampkin still have eligibility? He's played four seasons. Also, does he really fit what Bucky wants to do?

Playing in junior college no longer necessarily counts as the start of your eligibility

Did not realize he'd played Juco ball. With that being the case, if you determine you're okay with whatever the circumstances were for his KSU dismissal, you have to find a way to get him. Great player and familiar with the system, he could kick start this thing at a higher level than we may otherwise expect in year one.

I'm not certain how Lampkin has an additional year.

Everything I read say Lampkin would try to get a waiver for his freshman season, but thats already his extra 5th season so I dont understand that.

Lampkin would get pretty feisty (pissed) when running from top of key to top of key and no touches most trips.

Yeah his freshman year already doesn't count, but I don't get what exception he thinks he's getting for one of the others.

If someone was on the roster this past year, you can pretty well assume they will not be on the roster going forward. That is just the way power conference coaching changes work now.

Just hired an assistant from Wichita State. I would assume we're a front-runner unless someone is offering him big NIL $.
