I would like to see 1 more big to round out the class. There's plenty of time here. It looks like they have some shooters coming which is good but you will never win big unless you have enough size in the Dance. I would wait to see how this year pans out for bigs but again, another banger would seem to be the right fit given that there is enough good PG and shooters. If you're looking WF, you ideally want another Sims if you can get one too (don't know the grant count right now), somebody that can score driving, mid or 3 ball. Hopefully one of these guys has some of that but a big is top priority to me.

Still have 3 spots left in the 2022 class and we have four offers out to guys who are at least 6'8". Siddle isn't going to have more than three big men on the roster at any one time, so it will depend on who is still here in 2022. McGriff, Kelly and Samb should be here, so I wouldn't expect more than one big in this 2022 class.

Why would he not have more than 3 big men at the same time ? Makes zero sense to me to not have tall basketball players. I get it that everybody plays pickup basketball now jacking the 3 ball but somebody has to rebound and maybe play interior defense . Even in a conference as weak as the CAA there will be big guys who play post offense. I checked the roster and right now they have one big man,maybe I am missing something here but one guy to play inside seems pretty iffy to me.

By big men, I mean post players in the 5 spot. But he's not going to run a typical power forward and a center for the most part. I fact, if you look at verbal commits, none of our players or offers are to guys that are classifiesd as centers.

I admit I have paid all most no attention to recruiting by any teams at all. I checked the roster and saw 1 guy who has size and a 6-8 kid who weighs 170-good luck with that. I didn't renew my tickets but still might make a game or two-just no interest in seeing CAA level basketball. Good luck to the Seahawks !

Got it. No knowledge about recruiting, no interest in CAA level basketball. So why are you posting your drivel here again? From every definition i've seen, you're nothing but a troll....

I’d venture to say he post here because he’s local to Wilmington, has an interest in college sports in general, follows UNCW baseball fairly closely (more so than the great majority of our students, staff, and alumni).

He admitted he doesn’t follow recruiting that closely, but politely offered an opinion. There’s nothing wrong with that. He followed it up with “Good luck to the Seahawks!”

There’s times where we’ve all gotten into each other a bit, but I feel like the hit on Mullet here was a bit unwarranted.

Let’s give the “troll” thing a break for a while. Go venture around the other forums on this site if you want to see true trolling.

Staying a fact that a guy 6’8” and weighing 170-190 range is skeptical for CAA play isn’t far off the mark in my opinion either. Do we not remember how easily Boggs got pushed around in the 4/5 spot last year. Historically, CAA players playing the 4-5 need meat on their bones. Keith Rendleman was an exception to that rule, not the standard. Just my humble opinion on that matter.

Rendleman came in his first year as a 6'6" guard. And skinny. He was closer to 170. He grew 2 inches and our strength and conditioning program did the rest. Ran into him recently. He is now closer to 250-260. And not fat.

Dont really care if he knows recruiting or not. But "no interest in CAA level basketball" is troll level. So no, I won't let up. If baseball is his thing, we have an entire section on that. His basic contribution to the UNCW basketball thread is that we suck, our conference sucks, we will always suck and we should admit it and go to a lower level conference. Oh, and, good luck Seahawks! Dude has been trashing our program, coaches and AD as his only contributions. Give me examples of any postive posts about our basketball program beyond "The CAA sucks so you should at least compete".

You've sent EZU trolls packing for far less.

I heard Greg Anthony talking about Giannis this morning and he said his transformation is because of Giannis' personal drive. Obviously, he's physically gifted and genetics play a part, but the transformation of his body is a testament to his work ethic. That said, I still think this championship is an aberration, but congrats to the Bucks for taking advantage. That isn't intended as a slight, but I still see a handful of teams that beat them with a healthy roster.

Also, we don't get guys for 8 years. I'm cool with the approach of recruiting skills that you can't coach, but I don't want to get carried away expecting major body transformation of every skinny guy we recruit.

Obviously 45 pounds of muscle in 4 years is a reach, LOL, But going from 180/190, to 210, 220 at our level makes a huge difference.

Don't disagree about the Bucks, but man was it good to see all the super teams fall on their collective faces. Did you see the postgame? Giannis " I could have taken the easy way and gone to a super team and played a role, and won a title. But this is the hard way, we F'n did it" Absolutely love that he put that out there.
