I guarantee we could do better than our walkon’s (and not the 1 free 3 scholarship guys, I consider them scholarship players). But either way it’s more productive than an empty chair (and 3 empty chairs if you count Owens and SD doesn’t get the waiver). You can always get better players. But getting better people is also a key part of the calculation these days. I guess you'd be happy with a star that detonates the lockeroom like a Nico Clareth type. But I think Carm would rather avoid such dudes. Did you even read my other post? I already said if it was someone with an attitude problem Carm should sit them down and explain it is a concern and he would be on a zero tolerance policy. One issue and he is gone. If Carm could get a Nico level talent and refused to do it because he THOUGHT he might be a problem child, then that is a problem with Carm. Some of my top performing people have been the ones with the most challenging attitude and behavior problems, but you manage them to insure you maximize their talent and they don’t detract from the team.

What about foreign kids for the guard spot? I see a lot of schools ar e taking foreign kids late including UCLA and Kentucky. Just a thought Our foreign kids have been highly criticized. No win situation. "Get a body, any body. We need bodies" "Wrong - not a good enough body"

Looks like Fairfield just added a 6'8" 225 senior forward from Seton Hall (he must not have talked to SF). Alexis Yetna scored 8.1ppg along with 7.6reb. Recruiting looks like its going right into August now in this new NIL/portal landscape. Great get for the Stags He's a great get...if he makes it through the season. This will be his 7th year of college basketball and his 3rd college. Like I said, when guys are still available this late there's usually a reason why. His reason is long-term health issues which make him a gamble. With nothing to lose, Young is willing to role the dice too an extension others aren't. A great replacement for Cooke if he remains healthy. Ole Miss and West Virginia were also involved, but they didn't work out. "Yetna averaged 8.1 ppg and 7.6 rpg in 24 mpg in his lone season at Seton Hall and is a quality rebounder and capable defender when “healthy”. But that’s been the issue, hence why he still remains in the portal." bustingbrackets.com/2023/06/17/ncaa-basketball-analyzing-3-contenders-seton-hall-transfer-alexis-yetna/

I did read it. But what you or I think is irrelevant. Carm's the coach, so who he pursues is his call. And it appears he's done with problem children, like it or not.

If he throws up a 10 win season I’m betting the standards get lowered a bit. And who knows, if the PG situation blows up he may even be willing to take on a PG under 6’!

If he throws up a 10 win season he'll probably even lose the optimists like me.

Owens'name comes up again. Can any one say if he is in or out and his scholarship available. With all the knowledge every on this forum expounds, why can't anyone find out what his status is on the Siena team? Was he at the ice cream party, did any ask Carm about him.There has been more sightings of Big Foot. With all the discussions of how many players we should have on the bench, there is one that is not even part of the team. What the Big secret?
