Yeah, just curious who it might be? Jedkins and Chase Henderson seem to be content with limited roles. I’d be surprised to see either leave. All 3 incoming freshman signed a letter of intent.

Maybe Moxon? Or Money? Does he go P4? Or pro? He tested the waters last year. If he doesn’t, and if the Griz can keep Money, Thompson, and Aguino I think we have the blocks to build a contending team around.

You might be surprised Cal Baptist and Chatt have a better operating budget and NIL than UM.

Well good thing we're not recruiting you cause you act like operating budget is the be all end all for recruiting a kid when I would think most kids could give two shits what the schools operating budget is. And IDK how you know that Cal Baptist and Chattanooga have more NIL than we do, but it wouldn't surprise me if you actually don't know that and you're just assuming. I could maybe see Cal Baptist having more NIL than us (even if they've hardly had any success at hoops) but there is no way Chattanooga has more NIL money than us. Zero chance of that when their AD in an article last year said they couldn't get anyone to fork up money for them for NIL.

Idaho State's Gus Etchison into the portal. He completely ripped the Griz and the cats to shreds during the second half of conference play. Tough loss for them.

I think Ryan Looney is a very good coach. Look at his success before Idaho State and his Idaho State teams play really hard. But I believe that Pocatello is the toughest place to recruit to and retain players in the Big Sky.

Ya and by now I'm sure Decuire has a pretty good idea of who's staying and who's going. You make room. We're in desperate need of a PG. His other offers are Cal Baptist, Chattanooga, and Bryant. That's a recruiting battle we can win!

Not disagreeing with you that it is one we can win but I thought I should chime in that my friend knows someone who transferred to Cal Baptist from Utah to finish his college basketball career and they are a mid major program on the rise. Their first NCAA tournament game was yesterday and they almost beat the Kansas Jayhawks.

Ya and our Guard play left a lot to be desired this year. We scrimmaged Saint Martens last year so they’ve probably seen this kid up close and he averaged 18ppg in the loaded GNAC. I think he’d help a lot!

Pretty sure that wasn't meant to be a negative to the young man and more a displeasure with TD and his recruiting philosophy overall.

And I get the frustration with recruiting so many Guards but given that our Guard play wasn’t worth a shit this year, I’m pointing out that I have no issue with TD going after a few of them.

I guess Cal Baptist are "on the rise" since almost nobody (including me) had ever heard of them until yesterday, but that's the benefit of making the tourney. They have/had 7 seniors or grads this year including the incredible guard who was their whole team, so they are gonna have to get some new recruits to keep rising.

I'm tired of going after guards all the time. Is it asking to much to pursue and offer a handful of paint protectors and rebounding bigs?

Save me the bigs are hard to find narrative. The majority of rest of the Big Sky somehow finds and lands them.

Hell, the GRIZ don't even need a big for scoring. Seems like the GRIZ always get a fair amount of scoring from non bigs.

I'd be plenty happy with another Oke or Akoh production player. Even a slightly bettet rebounding and defending Sawyer type.

If DeCuire is so set on guards, why not up the tempo, more traps, more pressure, etc?

The lack of solid bigs in DeCuire's tenure is so frustrating. 20 wins and NCAA March Madness appearances would be almost yearly, if the GRIZ can up their big man recruiting.

I just don't get the lack of focus in big man recruiting year after year.

Anyone that hasn't heard of Cal Baptist yet isn't paying attention.
