I always said if I was a billonaire, I would set up a prep academy in West Africa. Some of the most athletic folks in the world.

Will Stevenson participate in the G League Elite Camp?
Among all G League Elite Camp participants, no player has been selected in the first round of the NBA draft.

So awesome to see these guys graduate and not just worry about getting the bag.

They'll all one knee injury away from being like the rest of us poor bastards.

Congrats Nick!

If the rumor that Onyenso is ours if we miss is true, I'm fine either way. Such a luxury spot to be in. I think both guys will provide a similar impact. Cliff is the more sure thing, but Onyenso has a higher ceiling I think.

Yeah both guys give us a Bediako type presence. Not the key piece of the puzzle but really good to have when we need it. We had less alley oops last year than the years before, but i expect to see a lot more of them if we land Cliff or Ugo.

When this roster is complete the 5v5 scrimmages are gonna be awesome.

I read somewhere that UNC paid RJ Davis $2mil to return. We don’t need to go there. We do have Aiden Sherrell coming in, Nelson coming back, snd probably Stevenson too, so we have some good inside players- and all of those can shoot 3’s too. Cliff would be a great rim protector. So would Onyenso. If we could put 3 inches and 10 lbs on Mo D, he would be better than both.

Cliff is the ideal guy for us. He can run, is a rim protector, rebounds well, and plays excellent interior defense. Offensively, he's way more developed than Onyenso but still won't command too many touches. He can finish around the rim and score on putbacks. He's not a back-to-the-basket guy and did some damage in the PNR last year. Centers aren't going to be highlighted in this kind of offense so having a guy like Cliff with his talent and ideal fit would be a homerun. He's a Bediako 3.0 essentially.

Onyenso is a fine back up plan, he's just as good defensively but he won't produce much on the other end, which like mentioned earlier is fine because bigs in the system won't command too many touches.

I think Cliff puts us in title contention, Onynseo puts us in the top 10. Assuming Sears and Stevenson are back.

Positive smoke regarding Cliff to Bama this morning, he's announcing tomorrow but I believe informing the staffs by tonight.

I think we're top 10 good with Sears, Stevenson, and a filler big like Wague. I think either Cliff or Onyenso puts us in title contention. I think Cliff should be the preference because he is a sure thing, but as you mentioned the difference offensively between the two is less important for us. I also think the offensive difference is less than you'd think given one played in an offense that rarely utilized their bigs while the other was given a solid amount of touches. Cliff's rebounding is the bigger differentiator for me.

Like I said, we are in such a luxury position if we are getting one of the two. Worst case scenario we have one of the best shot-blockers in the country that doesn't show enough offensively next season to be an NBA prospect and might come back for a 2nd year

Mo D has the heart of just being that dawg. Makes up for the lack of height

Anybody who dogs Pringle , they ain't in the know. One of my favorite players to come through the program. He deserves an applause if USCe plays here next year.

I think we will see a different version of Mo D next year. He wont be forced to play the 4. He can be a slasher who finishes at the rim and plays tough d.

Or…maybe we just sing “Rammer Jammer” to him after the game.
