Has interest from ASU.. but they slow played him and have not offered. Brannen called last night and he likely committed on the spot. Because he ain’t getting any better offers.

Brannen continues to disrespect this league and the kinda bigs that are effective in the high major,

Nobody has said Saunders isn’t going anywhere or Eason especially. Just saying Saunders is probably not ending up at a high major.

It was rumored before the transfers that our staff was backing off Spell due to concerns over his lack of athleticism. I guess when you have this many scholarships, those concerns are reduced (assuming it is Spell).

Unranked recruit, looks like he probably needs to spend a year in the weight room before he's really ready to play. Has good ball skills, limited upside. Had an offer from VT and a bunch of small schools.

But yea Cunningham’s silence is a fuckboy move. You either come out and defend him or publicly scorn him. Saying nothing does nothing.
Agree, some one has to acknowledge the situation. Even if it’s, “we didn’t approach things correctly, we hope to change going forward”. Say something.

One thing is right. That freshmen class was close

We don’t need this gut to play a little. He and Lahkin get to matchup against whatever goons Houston rolls out and literally abuse them

Over Virginia Tech and Arizona State.


If it is confirmed him I'm going to be pumped. A true stretch 4. That will open Brannen's system.

Vetch has backed off and ASU has so played him. He doesn’t have a commutable offer. If he did, he’d be with them.

I mean in the biggest transfer portal man ever created, we are taking 4 year softies, not unlike Vogt, sorolla, Rap etc

No idea why we can’t slow play him even longer. Wait to see if you can’t get better.

It’s just a PR win. That’s it.

Skilled under the radar stretch 4 that will likely get abused by teams like Houston.

Beggars can’t be choosers though.

This will be a rough year defensively if we don’t add a little athleticism and toughness.
I'm starting to reach my breaking point. Pull the plug on this mid-major bs.

I looked up this dude awhile back when I saw he was linked to us. Outside of us he has offers from Elon, George Washington, Old Dominon, and Va. Tech. He's not even rated.

I know, I know, recruiting rankings don't mean everything and neither do offers, but this type of signing does absolutely nothing for me.

Two years into recruiting, with all of the PT to offer you could possibly imagine, playing in a brand new arena, and this is the type of players we can land?

We've been sittting at not a single spot filled for 2021 all year and this is who finally closes the deal on? And a stretch 4? Great. Is Brannen incapable of recruing legitimate post players?

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be a dick. These past few days have ruined any goodwill I have for Brannen. It seems like we're going to be firmly stuck in the ECU and Tulane level of program for the forseeable future.
