This guy would be a strong signal
Pope is desperate and next season will be an uphill battle . Land this guy and bring back Lowe that’s playing with fire. Lowe has to accept a backup job after this extensive injury.. he isn’t the guy to win a lot of games for us. And harts connections are weak. None of them have connections where they need them.

There will be more who are unhappy at the power 4 teams. All of the above I believe will enter the portal or are available to take for the right money.

For 2026, top international basketball prospects include elite draft candidates and rising stars with NBA potential. Key names to watch for the 2026 NBA Draft include Karim Lopez (New Zealand Breakers), Dash Daniels (Melbourne United), Miikka Muurinen (Partizan Belgrade), and Luigi Suigo (BC Mega MIS). These players are considered top international prospects.

Top 2026 International Prospects
  • Karim Lopez (SF, 2007, New Zealand Breakers): Widely considered one of the best, if not the best, international prospects in his draft class, with potential to be a top-10 pick.
  • Dash Daniels (SG, Melbourne United): A high-upside guard prospect with early NBL experience.
  • Miikka Muurinen (PF, Partizan Belgrade): A 6-10 forward noted for his shooting and athleticism, sometimes projected for 2027 but eligible for 2026.
  • Luigi Suigo (C, BC Mega MIS): A 7-2 center with significant size.
  • Nikola Kusturica (SG, Barcelona): A lanky guard from Serbia with a strong shooting and passing game, eligible for the 2028 draft.
Other Potential 2026 International Stars
  • Adam Atamna (G, ASVEL): A talented prospect in the French system.
  • Dame Sarr (Duke) & Luka Bogavac (North Carolina): Highlighted as part of a strong contingent of incoming international players transitioning to the college basketball scene for the 2025-26 season.
The 2026 international field is marked by versatile, big guards and athletic forwards who have gained experience in professional leagues, such as the NBL and European systems, before potentially moving to the NBA.

We will keep

Lowe, Kam, Moreno, MoD, Garrison, Noah, Hawthorne. Imo Chandler goes to BYU.

Pope will add a bunch of 2nd tier portal players who are shooters . We will be marginally better next year maybe ranked in 20s and people here will view it as a great success.

No use for bg or mod
They have displayed their lack of basketball skills
Talent upgrade needed badly

We will pull some guys from the portal but they will be guys like the movie Major League, guys with issues that nobody knows and they all average around 7-8 points and 5 rebounds

Need a starting center, Moreno is not it. We should tamper and get Cyril.
I'm assuming you weren't around for the development of Nazr Mohammed. Moreno is head and shoulders better as a Frosh than Nazr was, who BTW is one of my all time fave Cats. Big Nazr worked his *** off and became the best big man in the country. Point being, kids grow up and mature. They get better. Silly to give up on MM right now.
