Per Dermarr Johnson, everyone is at practice and his quote "Just left UC practice, I like what I see". Good sign.

I hope Brannen can keep this team together and bring in Curtis. Looking forward to the year. The team knows how to play hard, play defense, and rebound (thanks Mick). If Brannen can make things on the offensive side of the ball easier...and more fun...this could be a special group.
I mean, a senior Cumberland is enough on his own for excitement. Renewed passion of Scott and brooks? With offensive improvement? Yes please!!! LoJo on the court? Getting after it on D, on the boards and improving playmaking and shooting? Yes please. Keith Williams with more movement on offense and pushing the ball? Yes please.
I think we hold enough of the roster together. It call comes down to Cumberland and if he comes back or goes pro. I would assume he's going to look into it so this whole thing could play out longer than we want.

I assume you're talking about Cumberland playing overseas. He's unlikely to be drafted by the NBA.

If Cumberland comes back and replicates the numbers he had last year, he would end up being the 3rd player in school history to score 2K points, possible AA and would be a legend. Hope he stays, nothing indicates one way or the other right now

Hearing we go shoot more 3pt shots and baskets at rim than ever before. A lot of motion and dribble drive offense being practiced.

Sounds like a good plan really.

Need more shooters on wings. Hope Moore finally just relax and play be basketball, he realistically could some what key player next year. Team also been practicing ball handling hard with coach leading drills. That should help everyone on team in major way also. I thought weak ball handling cost us past 2 tournaments

Cumberland should investigate it, but the NBA will let him now his likely draft position. His inability to finish at the rim is a killer. He and Jenifer were essentially the same when it came to scoring at the basket, both in percentage of shots taken and FG%. One of the toughest adjustments in the NBA is finishing inside, because of the size and skill level of the defenders. If you are bad at in college, NBA teams are not going to look at you unless you are terrific at other things.
It's not impossible that he could forge an NBA career - he is strong, a good passer, and a pretty good 3 point shooter, but late 2nd round would be the best case scenario right now, and I have doubts he would get that.

Obviously we need Cumberland first and foremost but not a lot we can do about that. Seeing as how we only have one PG I think Johnson would be a big deal too. Brooks would be a big deal too but I guess we have options to throw out there for him in Diara, Nsoseme, or Gillam and or Hardnett could move Scott over to the 5. Not optimal but at least there are options.
Curtis would be a tough loss but probably the most replaceable of the 4. Grad transfers here we come...if we lose 1 or 2 of the guards
Per Justin Williams Twitter...Brooks is in the transfer portal but not eligible as a grad transfer. he is weighing his options and could also stay.
Probably looking for a really big time opportunity I guess with a blue blood or something. I guess pro money is not a big deal for him at the moment since he would have to sit a year.
I hope he finds what he wants or and or returns.

From the mouth of Bob Huggins then from the twitter of Alex Meachem, "We only want those who want to be here!"
I wonder what brooks is trying to find. He would be starting on a top 25 team, with his friends. What situation would be better than that?

Maybe with family issues wants to be closer to home as well. Who knows

Jc LoJo have been practicing, so idk why they would leave, I think brooks is coming around to staying(only because his Instagram story, that’s the only thing I’m going off of, definitely just my opinion.) and who knows with Curtis the only thing I can see being a good thing is on his tweeter under his info about himself it still says he’s a commit

If brooks transfers I’m predicting st joes, he is good friends with Charlie Brown(there best player)
