USC it is for Collier.

Was cautiously optimistic but at the end of the day, mom got what she wanted. He'll spend a year in LA with family then head off to the NBA.

Sounding like the switch to Jordan for hoops will be made official soon.... This was leaked earlier today and immediately deleted by someone on the graphic design team.

Followed up by Ezikpe posting a custom pair of UC AF1's for  Wes Miller. Should be a boost to recruiting getting away from UA.

 

 

Roster is now complete for 22-23 with the additions of CJ Fredrick and Butler transfer Simas Lukosius.

Which 2 or 3 on that list are going to be the biggest impact players for this coming season?

Good question.... A lot of quality depth on next year's team.

Jizzle James and Day-Day Thomas will likely be handed the keys from day 1 at the point but the return of Mika Adams Woods allows them time to develop. 

I think Fredrick is probably locked in as the starter at the 2.

Lukosius will have to compete with Dan Skillings for minutes at the 3 but I think he has the versatility to play the 2 through 4.

I could see Rayvon making things difficult for both with how advanced he is defensively for an incoming freshman. 

Reynolds will battle Lahkin to see who starts at the 5.

Ody Oguama started at the 4 this season and returns. John Newman also returns after missing the majority of last season to injury.

Sophomores Josh Reed and Sage Tolentino seem to be end of bench guys so will be interesting to see if either decide to transfer.

I would say this is Wes' best roster since he has been at UC, but he also is headed into the Big 12 so it better be his best roster.

The most encouraging thing for someone that follows UC is that the roster has improved each year.

He needed 2 or 3 top of the roster guys with what he lost and I think that was accomplished with Fredrick and Lukosius. Reynolds is also a very good offensive big man in the pick and roll. 

The transition to the Big 12 and new apparel deal with Jordan/Nike should help continue to elevate the program. They're in on a lot of high level 2024 kids so will be interesting to see how all that plays out. 

Had 15 & 12 v UC in Utah Valley's NIT win over the Bearcats. Elite shot blocker and rebounder. 

 

Mika Adams-Woods was the transfer out that made room on the roster for the Bandaogo addition.
