@LukeE As much as you're willing/able to say, are McDermott and Green really guys that the staff think can develop into high level contributors?


Probably not high level, but in this day and age where you are pretty much working with a team salary cap (depending on your NIL funding) a school ole A&M has to have some cheap dudes on the roster if you are planning to carry 15 guys and have a few high level/high salary guys.

I bet he hasn't. There are probably multiple offers out there waiting for the player or agents to decide if they want it.
Bucky will know when to tell the player to sign or we will sign someone else in their place. Until you get to that point you leave all options open.

Only 47 of the top 100 portal players per 247 have committed. What are you talking about?

You're so right! We should be moving so much faster. Who gives a **** if the players aren't a good fit as long as we sign them quickly!

You don't have unlimited funds, so you need to go buy some lower end guys to fill out your roster so you can go get some more mid and upper level guys

Lukas Walls was with Bucky and the ticket police told them to leave cause they didn't have a ticket for section 204. Quite embarrassing actually. Glad he chose the good guys after that.

Walls already knows the system, has good size , and is an efficient shooter even if not in high volume. Seems like a positive addition to me. I'm thinking low volume shooting replacement for Dominguez but better defender just based on stats.

Is he low volume because he has to pick and choose his spots to shoot due to being a little slow to get the ball up when facing good three-point defense? OR because there were other offensive options that the teams he has been on in the past would rather rely on?

I mean, if he has the ability to shoot more shots AND maintain a success rate of better than 40% - then we should get him more involved.

I am concerned a little about our ability to box out and rebound. We won't have Buzz level success on the boards, but I think we need to improve our ability to limit other teams to one shot and hopefully get more second and third chances on our end of the court.

Hoping we get some physicality and toughness from the portal in addition to good offensive players - as i keep picturing Michigan and Illinois and the other teams that made deep runs in the tournament this year...

His career offensive rebounding percentage of 13.71 percent is 21st all-time in the SEC, which is higher than any player in A&M history, including the likes of Tyler Davis (13.62 percent), Andersson Garcia (13.16) and Kourtney Roberson (12.64).

If we can return Mgbako and Hill, Bucky just needs to go get a true center, a starting guard, and another wing to fill out the roster, and we'll be in good shape

PG - Haggerty
SG - Hill/Transfer
SF - Mgbako
PF - Clemence
C - Phillips

I think I could see Phillips as a starting center on this team.

3 guys 6'9" or taller. I know Clemence plays smaller, but Phillips plays bigger. I know it's not the best bar, but we'd be much bigger than last year after Mgbako went down.

Perhaps true. I'm not being critical, just pointing out what I thought was an interesting stat.

We continue to upgrade on length which we all knew was a clear need .
