Did Hadaway decide not to come to Athens or something?

I honestly don't think there's a single incumbent on our roster. I think every starting spot is up for grabs.

CatsUp what leads you to believe Hadaway is not coming to Athens? Has he announced he’s decommitting ?

I think Dwight is the only guaranteed starter with Wiz and AJ Brown a more likely not. A lot is subject to change, obliviously.

Now this is intriguing.

6'6 PG with good numbers.

This I'm watching. #Dibba
100%. His numbers at Coastal have been pretty consistent each year. I’m actually surprised given his height, this is the first time he’s entering the portal.

I didn’t see any mention of him by recent posters in this thread regarding their projections of the starters and backups for next year. Thought maybe I had missed something about him not being a Bobcat.

While only one fan's starting five, one item sticks out:

OUr team cannot afford another season with a starter, who came into the program with a reputation as a "shooter", hitting his shots at 34% (fg), 22% (3 fg) and 67% (ft).

Edit: FearLeon beat me to it.
+1

And I'll take it one step farther or further.

This coaching staff should not even be going into fall practice penciling in Brod as a starter. He has to earn it in October/November.
To be honest as much as I hate to say it because Brod is my guy Clayton OR Hadaway have a good shot at being starting SF if Brod's slump continues. Also would be an interesting experiment to put Olumide in that spot.

No he's fully committed, I think he has a shot at the SF spot next season.

We have 1 scholly remaining, right? I only ask since at one point there was interest in Sekou Sylla, who is more of a wing.

Tenerowicz, McDaniel and Estis are walkons, and I'm not totally sure if Frazier is under scholarship. I assume Gabe will inherit BVP's scholly.

EDIT - Frazier is on scholarship along with Gabe. I believe we have 13 on scholly excluding McDaniel and Estis?

I agree with all of this. I just have a hunch that B-Rod will recover with ball movement. I think that with Preston leaving he was by far the one most affected. He went from 12 ppg and having a drive and kick PG to Sears (ballstopper), BVP (crab dribble ballstopper) and Carter (The Ultimate ballstopper).

Needs to also be a top notch defender. Zips showed late in the season that in the MAC smothering defense wins the games and kept it close against UCLA. Is he tough enough to be a Boals Bobcat? The numbers do look good and consistent--not a three point whiz but if he just takes em when he is wide open and runs the offense for others to get theirs then that will be an offensive positive.

Hopefully you didn’t need Akron to show you that defense wins.

He would be a great pickup. 42% from the field and 40% from three!

Blondeau looks like an excellent prospect to me.

Found some further information on him on the UNH site:

Good stuff. Wonder if he’ll still visit W&M. Since that tweet, its added two transfer guards.

My pure guess is "Chu-king-go."

I took a couple of linguistics classes here...a few decades ago.

We are not on Femi Odukale's final list. Caleb Fields of Bowling Green has also decided to transfer to Fairfield.
