Are the 2 recruits both true frosh? If so, we should look to the portal, JUCO and D2 for the rest. Balance is important and we can't count on anyone staying past next year.

Jo Jo and Jakai are both freshman and look to be solid backcourt. We’ll need to see who enters the portal but I would hope Carm learned his lesson, age is a factor. You can’t compete with too many younger players. Roster management is extremely important in this day and age.

Looks like a good recruit, PG who can handle the rock, control the game and dish out assists! BTW there are already 150+ players in the transfer portal: www.verbalcommits.com/transfers and lots of Point Guards. Let the Fun begin!

Congratulations to Jakai. He looks like a solid addition. Well-built and at 6'2 has good height for a PG. As others have said looks pretty well rounded as a shooter, passer and ball handler.

A long way to go.
Would be on to something if the 4 freshman all played 800 minutes this season and then you slide in an alpha at PG.
As s lifelong cynic, this smells like a 1 year stop before moving on to P5.

At this point, the whole roster should be planned to be a 1 year deal. There shouldn't be any expectation of a kid staying > 1 year.

Certainly, a talented freshman is going be ripe to leave after a year. Not sure if the better answer is find the 22 and 23 year old kids that have 1 or 2 years left like Cluess did for his entire tenure. Walking into games with a bunch of 18 and 19 year olds is a big disadvantage.

I wonder how much playing time a freshman will get under Carm's guidance? I remember a guy named JM who's playing in Oklahoma and I do not believe he played much.

I like this one a lot, but he does not appear to be a 3-pt shooter, which we desperately need.

As s lifelong cynic, this smells like a 1 year stop before moving on to P5. If he plays well enough in 1 year to gain a big P5 NIL deal, I’ll take that. A lot better than starting walkon’s who’s upside is just hoping to get a scholarship from us.
