Can anyone confirm that Koby Brea has just committed to the Cats?

Just saw it was confirmed by ESPN.  Coach Pope landed a major talent with Brea whose 3pt game will fit right into Pope’s style.  He became only the 4th player in NCAA history to hit 100 3s in a season.

Just saw Pope landed Kris Kira’s from WVU confirmed by ESPN.  Now have a quality rotation.  Keeping my fingers crossed that Thero comes back.  He would undeniably be a major difference maker that BBN would view as almost “Unforgetable” status.

This roster is loaded with talent! 

Now let’s get Thiero back.

I wouldn’t necessarily say loaded with talent. But they do have a lot of experienced players, which is an important thing in todays college basketball world.

Why do you say they aren’t loaded with talent?

Having watched a lot of UD this is a quality player who I think can have a very nice season in a top level conference.

Because they aren’t in regards to pure talent. Now it is a bunch of guys that do specific things well, and have experience playing college basketball. So just because I don’t think they are loaded with talent, I do think the makeup of the team should make them a very good team.

I'm pleased with what Pope has been able to put together so far, given the circumstances. Even freshmen recruits, I don't anticipate being great next year because a lot of guys are already deep in that process. But what Coach Pope has done thus far, is promising. 

I assume this is accurate.

It’s certainly interesting. Still wish Thiero was sticking around.

If we are going with the numbers it appears to be an upgrade.

Agreed, plus the X-factor in the incoming class is WAY better defensively coming in. 
 

I like it….

Definitely have some older good defensive players in this group.
