I’m good with the pick up. Hopefully he sticks around and doesn’t jumpship like dunning. If he can play he will have a real opportunity next year.

Really need a big to close out the class. The dream pick up would be a KJ buffen type player that can bang, rebound, and shoot threes, but I won’t hold my breath lol.

Don't think Dunning jumped ship on his own. Was a little bit of coaxing on that one.

That's probably true. From HS player of the year in the state to two different programs in two years where he barely touched the floor. He had the tools, just something isn't clicking with him.

Big assumption, maybe?

He reclassified back to prep school rather than going to Wichita, played for one of the top prep school teams in the country, and played well, including a 35-point game against the top ranked team in the country.

I thought he was describing Dunning, not Myles.

Your astute reading comprehension skills serve you well in this endeavor, 58-56. Yes I was talking about Dunning, not Myles. I just complimented Myles a couple of posts back.

I would bet on a young guard...

Answer, my apologies. Myles is a good player. Maybe Dunning has found the right place for him.

It fits with 5 SR guards.

No problem! I hope he sticks around and develops. He could have a role next year.

Yep. We shall bang the drum for a post player, until we can’t.

We know this. Lol The only reason I don't bang harder is AK didn't go to the post-season the only year he had 6 bigs kinda.

Just hope we play miles on the perimeter, has a Brandon Miller type game but hes probably the 5th big since hes a freshman.

This freshman qualifier seems to have the best shot at 13th being a soph. Camarion Johnson

Makhi Myles

Seems like a talented player to get as a development piece. Has good length and size for an athletic scorer.

Patience is the key here. He may not get the floor time he wants this year, but if he can soak things in and improve / build on his game, he could have the opportunity to be a major contributor going forward with. UAB loses so much after next season and he could be a stabilizing piece.

Doubt it kid's about the 9th best player already skillset wise. He's coming to take minutes.

Also the case for a young guard is moot because there's a need for a young big too. Miles benefits from these SR, a young big practicing with these SR bigs would be huge for development. But AK knows what he wants.

At the point now looking forward to the schedule and whose gonna replace these 8 SRs
