Who visited?Just putting it out there. I'm glad with who I think we're getting. I do think it might be coicencedential that he announced his visit the same day we heard from @lobbybuu that a significant huge happening was taking place

They’re going to get caught up in that cycle but they’ll replies with heavy talent. Still will be a crapshoot. Those guys are playing for NBA positioning. Mindset has to be team success, not how high can I vault in the draft. Imo.Bronny James just announced for USC. Him and that point guard one and done for sure.
It is interesting why Bronny didn't chose UCLA. More recent successes. Have to play actual defense when you want to play for Cronin I guessBronny James just announced for USC. Him and that point guard one and done for sure.
He played the four mostly. I'm sure he did some rotational 5 time. He was a pretty nice player.You left out Gaston Essengue
Didn't Kevin Simmons play the 5 position?He played the four mostly. I'm sure he did some rotational 5 time. He was a pretty nice player.
UCLA is a huge question mark. Returning players aren't good and their class is average. USC has Boogie coming back and some other solid pieces. Collier is coming in with Bronny too. Good choice for Bronny imo.It is interesting why Bronny didn't chose UCLA. More recent successes. Have to play actual defense when you want to play for Cronin I guess
No matter how it looks, UCLA seems to finish ahead of USC every year since Enfield and Cronin coach against each other.UCLA is a huge question mark.

Fair point. UCLA definitely finishes above them almost every season but USC is 6-4 against them in the last 10 and won 5 in a row recently. Not bad for a football school.No matter how it looks, UCLA seems to finish ahead of USC every year since Enfield and Cronin coach against each other.
Not directed at you. It was him I did not want here!Just putting it out there. I'm glad with who I think we're getting. I do think it might be coicencedential that he announced his visit the same day we heard from @lobbybuu that a significant huge happening was taking place
Simmons first season was complicated, Was Keon the center or was Kas Kambala? With Keon and Simmons getting suspended at the beginning of the season it got a lot more complicated. I think you could make the argument that Keon, Kas and Ike Epps got the greatest majority of minutes at the 5, but there were a lot of moving parts and he almost assuredly got some 5 minutes.Didn't Kevin Simmons play the 5 position?
Like Richie Adams! He was a faves a very young kid. I just aged myself!!Joel Anthony 6'9", Louis Amundson 6'9" were small centers more like forwards coached by Lon Kruger here at UNLV. Odartey Blankson was a small forward but he could rebound. He had heart! Those players were Lons best center/forwards early in his UNLV history, and he definitely was better at recruiting guards. Also Tark usually played power forward types at center.
Keon Clark was another 7’ player. Not too many in our history.Joel Anthony 6'9", Louis Amundson 6'9" were small centers more like forwards coached by Lon Kruger here at UNLV.

Wow! How could I forget about Keon. Thanks!Keon Clark was another 7’ player. Not too many in our history.
Speaking of McCoy, where did he end up. I remember he and Strom going toe to toe once but he never really appeared on the NBAHouston was ranked No. 1 for most of the year. Their roster had two players listed at 6’9” and three at 6’8”. One of the problem 7 footer have is on defense because most can’t guard in space and coaches will take advantage of that like Nothern Iowa did with Brandon McCoy.
McCoy, don’t know where he is. Had some talent, for sure. But he was very entitled. I remember many thinking “good family, stable family, good bloodlines, grounded, plays musical instruments, speaks a few languages or whatever, etc, etc, etc. Don’t always judge a book by its cover. His parents shopped him around … he was extremely lazy and entitled.Speaking of McCoy, where did he end up. I remember he and Strom going toe to toe once but he never really appeared on the NBA

Seriously?? That doesn't sound like todays entitled AAU basketball culture at all.😐McCoy, don’t know where he is. Had some talent, for sure. But he was very entitled.

I saw him at the majority of games last season. He seems into the games too. He may be trying to work his way onto the staff in some capacitySeriously?? That doesn't sound like todays entitled AAU basketball culture at all.😐
Interest is mutual and very high on both sides. It just picked back up this morning.
I wonder if the staff is still looking at Brad Ezewiro from Georgetown? He’s still available, visiting St. Louis today.. He’s connected with a lot of the players on socials.. At 6’10, 250 lbs, he seems to have the big body presence we’re looking for.. Only averaged 12 MPG at Georgetown, I think the Rebs could offer him more minutes while keeping Boone content with plenty of minutes at the 4/5.. Seems like a great fit IMO..
He played at Oak Hill in VA, but yes he's from Socal and also went to Bishop Montgomery and some other high schools.Transferred from LSU to Georgetown when coach was fired. So he may be able to transfer again. From Oak Hills Academy in So Cal. Hasn't played a lot so a return to West Coast style ball would probably help.
Now he has the look!

I’m one of the few as well.. Although I think Boone is fully capable of holding down the 5 spot, I think it should be in spot lineups.. We still need a depth big and Ezewiro is more of a fit than I thought.. He can have a bigger role but doesn’t expect 30 MPG at the same time, perfect.. Ez & Boone next to each other would cause some serious problems with their versatility.. I hope CKK doesn’t make the same mistake and think a K Jones type will do, we need contribution..Now he has the look!
Good measurables and a big body to go next to Boone. I know I’m one of the few who thinks Khalib would benefit from playing next to someone like Ezewiro!
Beast !!!!
Yeah, have Dedan just lobbing balls into him and letting him dunk... its a yes for me
After watching the video I'd say his minutes are going to be almost totally determined by our weak MW officiating. Dave Hall will have him on the bench inside of four minutes.
this is why I dont want to depend on Boone for 30 minutes a game.... Theres no way a Center in the MWc can keep himself foul free long enough if theyre as active as we need Boone to beAfter watching the video I'd say his minutes are going to be almost totally determined by our weak MW officiating.

🤷♂️Is this another hint!?
Soon my friend, very soon. I have the whole situation typed up already. Posting as soon as it goes public.
