Where is Malik Dia?

None of the links are working...again.

Good news that Ansong not only made the trip, but seemed to have a great box score.

Not recruiting news, by my goodness Malik Dia has an NBA body. In photos I've seen online, he is every bit as big as Lee Dort.

Matt is having a great summer league. He hit a game winner and is crushing it beyond the arc. This is a great interview with him. It is wild to think all of the NBA guys Vandy had in the locker room at one time. https://twitter.com/KwaniALunis/status/1546689627628589057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%...

I have watched some videos of West, and FWIW, he can really get to the rim unlike any guards we've had in a while, outside of SPJr. Super athletic guard with a real burst to the basket. He could end up being special as he has only been playing basketball a few years. Very high ceiling.

This is fantastic! And, a good piece to build around.

I would hope the staff has a plan in place as I'm sure the Kennedy news is not new for them. Whoever gets the scholly, I hope they can make it to the Europe trip, which will go a long way for experience/chemistry.

I was shocked that Oscar Tshiebwe did not enter the draft. Woulda been a top 5 pick? Oh well, will probably make more $ in Lexington.

This may be CJS's undoing. He's assessing the talent, but not the person. Keonte has now been attached to 5 different schools. Why did we recruit him in the first place. I get someone that makes a bad first decision. That happens. But read the writing on the wall. I hope I'm wrong, but none of Stac...

- will have to hope someone like Lawrence has a massive breakthrough. Things to keep in mind about Lawrence: 1) He only played 7 games his first year which is pretty much like being redshirted 2) He had offers from other major D-1 programs including Gonzaga 3) At 6-4/200 he has the size and athleti...

Face firmly planted in palm of hand on Dezonie's decision making. shouldn't vu's demanding academic program always be considered when wondering why athletes leave us? Good point. I was commenting more on the fact that Dezonie has already decided to change course again. He is a really talented young...

On the surface, we need to get better at player retention or we’re gonna have problems. I know we’re not unique with this problem, but we must recruit a different kind of player. I’ve been saying this in the football forum also. I think the problem is, just like hiring candidates after the intervie...

Face firmly planted in palm of hand on Dezonie's decision making.

This is a good question that will need to be answered over time, probably not in practice, but game time situations. Who will have the fortitude to have the ball when it matters? It all comes down to leadership. Pippen was the obvious team leader. Now, the question becomes, who wants to take that ro...

Not so sure I agree Nashmann. Stute is most likely our best 3 pt marksman. I will say he could add an element of slashing and driving to the basket to keep defenders honest.
