There's an easy solution for this - promise him that you'll ask before subbing him out.
Bingo!

Bingo!
We landed him on Saturday night. The issue with everything was if he would follow through with it. There were issues about role allocation and miscommunication about that delayed everything.
Kalib has signed though but what Waddilove is saying is based on his own speculation, not because he saw or knew for sure.
If anyone anywhere is saying that they're breaking the news that Kalib just committed today, it's BS. They only found out today, which is very different.
Worded my question wrong. Is he going to follow through and have they worked out the miscommunication? Or are we going to be waiting for a little with him?
That is his intention and has been his intention for awhile now. We definitely want him to reclassify and if he commits to us, that's the intention.
With other schools, I'm not sure
They worked out the miscommunication about an hour ago.
A couple of current players thought he would be playing the 3/4 exclusively which would cut into their PT. That's where the miscommunication occurred. He will be playing the 4/5 with a lot of time coming at the 5.
Vice will be in the fold soon and that may be our rotation at the 5.
He just announced. No clue how there was a miscommunication he would’ve spent time at the 3. He’s definitely a 4/5
I'm not saying this in any condescending way but I'm glad this whole saga is over and that I was correct. It would have been hell if we missed out on even one of them.
I definitely couldn't be wrong about Demetries Ford and this lol

I agree! The only thing I can think of is someone thought it would be the Boones and Cottrell playing at the same time.
Idk how it was relayed or Miscommunicated but that's what I was told.
Now it's time to focus on the next big fish or 2... I vould be wrong but believe that video the Teams social media post had today features a certain recruit in the stands for a brief second... hint hints right?
I was wondering what the other players were thinking. Like Rodriguez, and Shane Nowell I'm sure they are concerned about playing time.
Kind of a slippery slope to navigate. Waiting on Dedan yet we need a PG .
Just because I am curious, Vice visits this week, do you think he committs while on his visit?
I hope so! We need to get him too, he at least gives us one C in the mix!
I think so tbh
I've gotten clarification on the miscommunication.
Kalib was told he'd play the 4/5 but mostly at the 5. He accepted that. The holdup was with current players confused with the roles because Hill wasn't even factored in during whatever conversation they had that caused confusion. This obviously changes if we get a big man but AS OF TODAY, WE ARE NOT PUTTING A FULL PRESS ON ANY BIG MAN. We will be set after Vice commits. Kalib, Vice, Jones.
The role allocation will be Hill at the 4, Kalib at the 5, Keylan at the 2, and either Nowell or LuRod at the 3.
The issue was Kalib needed to be at the 5 or else that would be another body at the log jam.

I don’t believe so, the programs twitter page is normally a little behind with announcements, because it has to be official official for them to say anything. 99% sure this is about Kalib Boone.
Brock Vice, Houston , Center (BK)
Brock Vice is a 6-10, 225-pound Center (BK) from Germantown, TN. He has committed to Saint Louis Billikens.

So are they not expecting Cottrell to be healthy this season? A couple weeks back he was STILL in cast and push scooter. Lobby can you comment?
Vice even a question? His Pop is the coach for the football team. He will be a 2 sports player, IMO
He'll be back by seasons start, but who knows how someone will play after an injury like that?
I don't want to say that Hill was an insurance policy because he definitely isn't. He will be a factor! And the reason why this went over so smoothly is because Isaiah and Jalen are great friends. Isaiah knows that he is still coming back from injury and it's easier to "defer" to someone on the team that is actually your friend. They both do not have an issue and id love to see them on the court together eventually.
Thanks for the update. A healthy Cottrell would be a big addition. Essentially an extra top recruit when compared to last years squad.
Most importantly...
We got a lot bigger...
6-9, 6-7, 6-6...
Last years class
6-4, 5-11, 6-3....

It’s nearly impossible to return to pre-injury form after an Achilles tear. If he could play 10-15 productive minutes at the 4/5 spots, that would be a victory.
In general I would agree with you, but he did already play an entire season, mostly starting, after the Achilles tear. And that first year is usually the tough one.
This injury is a fracture and not related ( in fact it may be on the other foot).
Still tough being out of action as long as he did this past year. And the fact that he rehabbed just to play 10 minutes against a scrub team just to go back to non weight bearing causes some extra concern. But I'm sure they are being extra conservative now given that history, with extra time in the boot.
I hope he can contribute to the team this year. Oh wait he already did! Kalib, Keylan and Jalen!
I believe the main concern is 2 injuries out basically for two years and how much will he be able to do. I sure hope he does well and finish is college career with us.

If they land Vice I think we have enough players who can play the 4/5 even if Cottrell can’t play every game.
I think Vice fills that role as another 5 if he comes here. Plus they can move Keylan to the 4. If they can play LuRod at the 4 all last year they can certainly play Keylan there.
