Translation: He wants to see the salary offered by UofC. The portal is the same thing as Job interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is to say Carlyle wouldn't have a chance to start? 2 I doubt @DC2345 has called Carlyle to ask that question. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that although he played well we really don't know how Conwell would do playing in a major conference for an entire season. I believe he would translate just fine but nobody has seen it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay edwards brother Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Start Rice, Carlyle, Conwell, Mgbacko, and Ballo. Bring Malik, Tucker, Gallo, Hickman, and Malone off the bench. That is some offensive firepower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Conwell should be a concern at all, if you add Rice, Carlyle, and Hickman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 It certainly seems Carlyle is in the fold, and one of Conwell/Hickman. I'm sitting up in my seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't wait on Ballo, when you have Payne that JUST took a visit. For one-- Payne has two years of eligibility left and will be a lot cheaper.

I 100% believe that-- based on everything we've heard and SEEN. The kid and Rice have been posting stuff for a bit. Take your visit-- check the other boxes and let's roll.

His agent is telling people he's done but Ballo is saying he's not. Some think his agent is playing this to see if anyone ups their offer but I don't think that's going to happen.

tdhoosier Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 I'm surprised at how many people have Carlyle penciled into the starting line up. This is not to say that i don't think he's a good player or I don't want him. I do. He has 3 years of eligibility. BUT knowing who is coaching this team, unless Carlyle lights the world on fire (on both end of the court), I just don't think there is any way he's starting over Gallo. Guys, this is Woody. The man who values defense and veterans on the floor. The only exception to this rule was Mgbako and that's because the guys behind him on the depth chart were equally as bad at defense. I also think Gallo is very underestimated by some. He was asked to do WAY too much last year. Sandwich him in between Rice and a sophomore Mgbako and he's going to thrive. Our 1-3 is not going to be a below average defender in Mgbako and 2 brand new guards who have zero games of experience in this defensive system. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong, but I won't be wrong on this one. 😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting development because he’d obviously come off the bench if (hopefully) Ballo commits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
