Offseason thread: recruiting, transfer portal schedule, general discussion

[T-Dog]

MAC only has 12 teams so 2 of us have to find our own games

We're in a tipoff classic.

[Appy137]

Where is the tip off classic and when is it?

[Seattleapp]

At this rate we’re gonna have more coaches than players

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

My projected starting lineup with my limited knowledge will be PG Allen, SG Banks, SF Koffi, PF Litch, C Chretien. 2nd wave is PG Kopetski/Vasser, SG Colon, SF Costello, PF Moodie, C Elezaj. Moss has high accolades coming out of high school and could figure into the mix if he hits the ground running, but could also see him redshirt. I have discovered that Chaney is returning to Gwinnet College, likely App's decision to pull offer.

Returning:
PG Vasser 6'0
SG Banks 6'3
PF Njock 6'6
SF/PF Neal 6'7
PF Moodie 6'8

New:
PG Allen 6'5
PG Kopetski 6'0 38% from three
PG Moss 6'0 Freshman https://appstatesports.com/sports/mens- ... moss/11145
SG Koffi 6'4 37% from three
SG Costello 6'4 32.5% from three
SG/SF 6'5 Chaney 37% from three
SG Colon 6'2 40.6% from three
SF/PF Litch 6'6 30% from three
C Elezaj 7'2
C Chretien 7'0

Remaining roster: O'Kelley, Ledford, Clayton

Lytch looks more like a small forward/wing similar to Neal to me, but I could also see him at the 4 in a sort of four out offense. He can absolutely swat some shots on defense and dunk on some heads from video I’ve seen. Koffi had huge scoring games against high major opponents last season - excited to see him in the mix. The biggest question I have is how 8-9 coaches, 18 players and trainers etc fit on the bench. We will need two rows.

Just realized that Tim Johnson is no longer on staff. That explains the new hire.

Yep, almost completely new team and staff. I agree with you on Litch based on his size, but his style of play seems to be Spillers-like. He will probably split time between the 3 and 4 spots. Having the two 7 footers down low will hopefully allow us to spread things out and be able to go small at the 4 when matchups favor Litch at the 4.

This didn’t deserve its own thread and there wasn’t a good one in other schools athletics appropriate to put it in, but I worked ACC media days this week…oh boy is Bill Belichick boring…not a thing notable about his press conference, except for the fact that he walked to the bagel bar, ripped one in half but but not top/bottom, side/side with his bare hands, and put the other half back in the box like it was no big deal. What a weird guy.

I'm surprised his 25 year old handler didn't smack his hand.

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

I'd love for Dodd to return, but think he could probably get a bigger paycheck elsewhere. He had a great senior season.

He’s at the right level for his talent imo

[biggie]

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

Can’t say I blame him. He’ll have an opportunity to make some $ elsewhere and it’s a crowded backcourt already.

[AppSt94]

Do we have room on the roster to entertain him coming back?

I had to read all of this 5 times and I’m still uncertain what school this is for. Is this Apps team? Haha.
(Sarcasm but also, who?)

Seems like we have a lot of PG but we could always just tell the walk ons to kick rocks for a Dodd spot.

I suppose but we do have a scholarship limit. I suppose you could pay him NIL to cover the cost but is that money well spent? Especially to your point with the number of PGs on the roster.

[agentpaul001]

I'd be estatic to have Dodd back. I'm not sure how it'd shake out with us having so many guards, but that'd be a good problem to have considering our lack of depth there at times.

I'm sure he'll get paid somewhere and power to him if so, but if not be great to see him again.
