We aren't going to land Tyson, Milicic, and Anderson, though, with Dubar already signed. Way too many cooks in that kitchen.

If we could get all of them I wouldn’t be surprised if we tried. However, I do believe it is very unlikely. I honestly prefer Anderson over Tyson. Because he’s just going to be a sophomore too.

Help me out here. I looked up Okparas stats. He seems like a down grade from Aidoo.

Offensively, he's a downgrade if we look to run our offense thru him. Defensively, he's probably an upgrade as a rim protector, but at worst, he's a wash on that end. He's more aggressive than Aidoo and at least an equal rebounder.

Jonas Aidoo: Sophomore year: 5.1 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 1.3 bpg and 51% fg

Felix Okpara: 6.6 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 2.4 bpg, and 58.6% fg

Okpara had a better sophomore year than Jonas. Is a better rim protector and has a better fg%. Can Okpara make the same jump that Aidoo made from Sophomore --> Junior year? Who knows.

Aidoo is not worth the rumored 1mil he wants though. You also get Okpara for two more years and Aidoo would only be for 1 more year.

Sounds to me like Lanier, Tyson/Anderson, Milicic, Okpara & Mabar is what the staff is looking to close with

With Anderson I’m seeing a bit of a red flag..

At 6’9” 190 pounds he played 30 minutes a game and only averaged 3.7 rebounds in the Atlantic Sun. Vescovi averaged 3.7 rebounds in 25 minutes a game this year. You gotta hit the boards harder than that to play for Barnes imo lol.

Do you think that maybe they just save a spot in their back pocket? I don’t think we really need to add anyone else if we get Lanier, Igor, and Mabar. Would be nice to have the flexibility in case someone emerges in the summer.

He’s a jumbo wing/guard, not a post player

He needs to rebound better, but he wasn't tasked with crashing the boards. He's a tall perimeter player.

Apparently we've been in on him for a while. He was here in November for an unofficial.

Reminds me of the Tamba situation a couple of years back. He was a silent commit to us for a long time before it was official if I remember correctly.
