Since Prince is gone and we have an open scholarship....247 sports is talking about a russian center we are heavily recruiting ? Anyone know of this or have a name ?

I don't have the name but it would make the most sense if we went after a HS big or a transfer that could sit one year out (if any will). I don't know what is left out there but it can't be too great.

If there is an under the radar guy...let's get him...Russian is fine with me

Trey James? decommit from Wake Forrest.

If the Russian center commits goaltending, would this be Russian interference?

Olivier Sarr, Wake Forest Center (7') has entered the portal. Pissed that they fired Manning after the NBA deadline ended as he wanted to test the waters but Manning convinced him to stay. Averaged 13.7 and 9 last year, third team ACC.

Not sure what our interest or chances are, but he shoots up the impact transfer list.

I don’t see us getting another player unless it’s a project type. We just don’t have the minutes.

A guy with D1 experience playing bigs in the ACC? I'd take him no questions how great he is. We need depth and Manning couldn't have picked a guy that's so bad.

I’d take him in a heartbeat. He’s probably better than anything we have but he isn’t coming here competing for minutes.

He’s going to have some competition anywhere he goes. But yah...maybe there is less of it somewhere. This late in the game most teams should have a few bigs on the roster
