This is what I have as non-PG recruits we are still rumored to be in on:
J'Vonne Hadley 6'7" Freshman Indian Hills JC
Isaiah Cottrell 6'10" Soph WVU
Caleb Fuller 6'5" UC Davis transfer
Trey James 6'9" Iona transfer
Gus Okafor 6'6" SE Louisiana transfer
Julian Lewis 6'6" Wm & Mary transfer
Xavier Foster 7'0" Iowa St transfer
Kalil Camara 6'7" Gaston College
Collin Warren 6'4" McNeese transfer
Lewis committed to Miami (OH) & Gus Okafor has cut his list to 5 and we are not in it.

I don't see Gus Okafor's top 5 anywhere but he seems to be getting high major interest so that doesn't surprise me.

I talked to Jake Lieberman who tweeted he cut his list and SIU did not make it. Okafor hasn’t announced it publicly.

Yeah, I figured Okafor and Cottrell were longshots for us for that very reason.

Cottrell is a Las Vegas native. He is visiting UNLV and other west coast schools, so yeah, he was a long shot. Xavier Foster 7'0 from Iowa State is an intriguing prospect. 4* 24 ppg out of high school.

Cross big-man Trey James off the list, committed to Robert Morris. Really thought this might be a likely option
Anybody else getting the feeling that Bryan needs to add a kick-asz recruiter to his staff?
I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!

I will say, Trey James only made sense if you weren't confident in Hornecker and/or Ebube next year. I prefer a bigger guard or forward with athleticism that can score but there's not much left on the list that excites that much. But there's always a shot someone not on our radar right now ends up falling.
I am quite happy to let our coach run this program.

James signing elsewhere does not concern me, but I think there should be reasonable expectations that the staff can fill a clear hole for another scorer/athlete (ideally an athletic scorer) with the hundreds of guys in the portal, the JUCO ranks, etc., in the coming weeks.
I was among those that thought the offensive struggles last year at least raised the question of mixing up the staff a bit. I'm not surprised that doesn't appear to be the case because I think Bryan is very loyal (and possibly a bit stubbornly competitive). What you can't have, though, is a staff that has both Xs and Os and recruiting deficiencies. I think the jury is still out in both of those areas, but this is a pretty key stretch to take advantage of a veteran roster and window of opportunity in the Valley next year.
Season ticket renewals begin May 15th. Look for one, possibly two additions to this team by then. Think athletic, think scorer.

Are you really going to let missing out on a kid that played 46 minutes at Iona last season get you down? Ffs.

The list of the guys we have known interest in on the last page that haven’t committed yet Is a JUCO player, a guy that started at West Virginia but only shot 33% (and probably is unlikely to get), a guy from UC Davis ranked 1164 out of 1514 in the portal, Xavier Foster who played 55 minutes before getting kicked off Iowa St, a D2 guy, and a guy from McNeese State that’s ranked 1128 of 1514 in the portal. Not sure what you’re expecting to get.
