    New offer out to JUCO DL Alex Navarro. Not sure what happened, but he signed with Portland State and is still listed on their 2023 roster. Rivals lists him as a DE and he would probably be a great fit for a DE in the 3-4, but more than likely would be moved to DT for us.

    Previously with the Arizona Wildcats?

    You put a guy who was just the 9th man at Wichita in our starting line up. Come on lol he avg 2 pts a game. He’s not going to come in and be one of our top guy he’ll be in the Garv/Kobe Mitchell range mins.

    Garvin, maybe. Maybe. But Kobe? If so then Groce just took a swing and a miss. Shammah’s got to, at the very least, provide as much as Garvin.

    Tavari, Nate/Greg, Sammy, Freeman, and Thornton?  Dawson off the bench?

    If we have a solid 5 strong enough to give us the luxury of making Dawson our 6th-man we'd be pretty stacked.  How about Tribble off the bench?  Would Groce do that?

    PG: Thornton...... Tavari

    W:   Shammah.... Tribble/Prather

    W:   Dawson....... Nate/Marvin

    P:    Sammy........ Darrion/Marvin

    P:    Freeman..... Amani

     

    It's going to be fun watching Groce & Co. experiment w/ lineups next season & seeing which combos gel.

    Since we're playing this game 😂

     

    A Sea of Blue - Chris Livingston trending toward departure from UK Basketball, per report

     

    The article says his representative, Klutch Sports, really wants him to declare for the NBA draft. I'm a Livingston fan, but I definitely think he could use another year of working on his game before going pro. At Kentucky he was... decent.  I watched a handful of Kentucky games & could tell he wasn't happy.  Come home, Chris! 🙏🙏🙏

    So what type of player makes the most sense to fill the last scholarship on? Right now I'm leaning a freshman Aziz-type prospect to red-shirt. Only so many players can play. I'm not opposed to bringing an experienced big, but I would think an experienced big would want to play starter minutes and that won't happen next year. Additionally, bringing one in probably means Lyles transfers.

     

    I'm still apprehensive about our lack of front court depth. But Enrique is almost too good for our own good. No difference-making upperclassman post player is going to want to transfer here to ride the bench. (Man do I wish we still had Aziz, but he's a prime example of Enrique being almost too good for our own good.)

    Looking at Ford's twitter, he hasn't "announced" any offer from Akron and isn't followed on twitter by any of the Akron assistants. I could be wrong, but generally those are pretty good indicators of interest level. I'd be surprised if he came here. He's got his fair share of suitors, that's for sure. 

    💯 The only reason he's on our radar here is because LCJ3 subtweeted him when Ford announced he was transferring. That's the lone trail of smoke around this one.
