We've expressed interest in Lemoyne's Ocypher Owens, 6'8" 215 forward who averaged 9 and 6. I think he would have two more years as he's a JUCO product.

This might be one to watch. He was HS teammates with AJB at Orlando Christian Prep.

I saw on a different social media the WVU fans say he's ferocious on defense but admit he shot 11% from three last season.

My mother-in-law with the neck brace on just beat him in a game of "HORSE."

He averaged about 27 minutes per game and only 6 points. That should say a lot.

Coincidentally, Kyle Barlow started following him since he entered the other day.

Also following Gannon's (D2) Tamsman Goodrick - 6'9

Nice find, he retweeted. Emeka moves well and doesn’t look like another project big despite being 7’0.

I wonder how long offers remain on the table for during portal season.

Emeka and AJB’s old teammate (this has to happen, right?) would be a solid combo if we avoid using one of the schollies on a wing/guard.

Unfortunately, WMU is loaded with cash, assuming that they've received the $50 million that was due the Athletic Department as part of that $550 million gift that was announced close to two years ago now. For the record, that was the largest single gift to a state university in US history. I'm guessing that they'll put aside a cool $15 million or so to use as sort of a NIL endowment. Wisely invested that would give them about a million a year to pay athletes. And, make no mistake, paying athletes is the name of the game now, regardless of what language is being used to desrbe what's happening.

IPFW is a pretty solid program. The video on Cuthrell shows a dude who is built and not afraid to go inside. He runs the floor well and has great hands. Not sure of his inside defensive presence but he would be a nice fit with a guy like Captain Chaos.

We’ve also reached out to Florida Southern College’s (D2) Alex Steen. A lot of interest here, including P5. For good reason, 2X conference DPOY and some really solid numbers. 6’9.

18.2 PPG
11.5 RPG
1.1 APG

Yea, I'm less interested in the Seattle big but overall I'm a fan of this recent waive of guys (besides the guards and wings -- I just think we have enough) we've been connected to.

Neither Cuthrell or Owens were a full-time starters this past season, but looking at game logs both show a lot of production when on the court. For example, in exactly 40 minutes of PT against Wright State, Cuthrell had 20 points and 16 rebounds.

We could go get both of them and give them 20 to 25 mins per game!!!!!

WINGS: Pavs, AJB, Fisher, Kelley, Burris, Sheldon, Elliott
POST: Mosley, Kuany, Evans, Hadaway, Owens, Cuthrell

I'd be ok rolling into next year with that!

I would be good adding some combination of Owens, Cuthrell, or Opurum. Assuming still valid, Opurum also holds offers from Iowa and George Mason that came in a year ago.
