2.) I don't expect a top 25 class in year 1. I said we used to get excited for players that may exist in those classes. Now we're excited about UNCG transfers, Ody Aguama and Quinn Slazinski. 3.) if you think this team is shaping up to being even remotely decent next year then more power to you. I see a .500 team. I'm not going to pretend any of this impressive.

You should fill the roster depth first and then add the studs at the end. Not the other way around. The stud ain't worried about beating out the roster for their spot and the young developmental guys commit because they don't see a stud at their positions already. It doesn't always work out this way but in the portal era you can make it work out this way more often than not. I am telling you our best recruit is still to come 90% sure of that. And hopefully two of them. |

I also don't mind if Koval ends up as 3rd option if we happen to land another big. Wes has done the dirty work of getting role players and bench depth and developmental youth. Now is the time to add the home runs. |

Most of these guys he brought in are going to be here for 2+ years. And if you took all 5 of these guys and moved them to a recuiting class for a Furman or an Elon then that would look about right. He just added 5 guys that would be typical of a Southern Conference team. (Which makes sense because that's where 4 of the 5 of the came from) I would love to hold out hope that he'll really start recruiting next year but seeing that he can't even recruit outside of the state of North Carolina I'm not going to hold my breath.

Not starter quality for a shitty Wake Forest or a shitty Clemson in 2021 though. This is exactly my point. We've sunken so low that we have to pretend to be excited for bench players from teams that aren't even tournament quality. Although I guess in comparison to a guy like Koval or McGinnis they look like McDAA's.

Oguama has the toughness and rebounding we needed in our system. Let's not pretend there are parades in the streets here. It's a good get and there were other big programs after him. |

I'm also aware that for whatever reason he decided to transfer from Clemson to UNCG. This doesn't suggest to me that him being slowed down by injury is the only reason he didn't play as much in 2020. It leads me to believe he knew he wasn't going to get the minutes he wanted there in 2021, and he didn't have a lot of high level suitors. If he was that good, and it was just an injury that caused his play to drop, then why commit to UNCG? Why transfer from Clemson at all?
