Hey”samuel”, you, Pope and the staff, might want to start reevaluating what you consider a “great offer”, because all the other major players in the college game are landing studs, while you guys are out scouting and offering D2 prospects!

I wish I could find it now, but someone posted a graphic the other day showing, out of the portal options mentioned so far, which ones were the most "impactful" based on their numbers, efficiency ratings, etc., and Alvaro was the 2nd highest on the list by quite a decent margin.

I didn't watch the whole game, but watching the highlights of RMU vs Bama, he really seemed to struggle on defense. Is that reality, or was it b/c Bama's highlights just coincided with the times he was struggling?

Just seems like athletically he'd struggle a bit on the defensive end.

Bama’s highlights wouldn’t showcase him doing well against them for obvious reasons.

Another thing is that big guys would struggle a bit with Bama due to pace of play and they had crazy athleticism. I mean Duke had no issues but Duke is stupid good this year, as much as I hate them

He's not the most athletic but has a high IQ

Sorry... to clarify, the highlights were just general highlights of the game for both teams, but those are almost always just good scoring plays. That is why I was asking... did he play good defense "much/most" of the time, but the only time he was showing up in the highlights were b/c Bama just made good plays?

In his own highlights (portal, etc), though, he doesn't move really well and plays mostly below the rim. So, my concern is regarding what appears to be average/below average athleticism and playing defense in the SEC.

He deleted his entire account, which is kind of weird lol

He was getting bullied by dudes coming in there roasting him for no reason.

@BanteredB_ on twitter seemed to be leading the charge, others hopped on board.

He posted he didn't realize he would get bullied so much, especially because he's been giving accurate info, so he dipped out.

Haha…the internet is full of these bozos every year at the time. What ever happened to LXWildcat, wonder who is he is now?? Posted multiple threads a day. Mainly recruiting and portal info taken off twitter…

Remember this guy?

I mean, the dude accurately nailed our seed line, opponents, region and 1 seed for 2 years in a row before the bracket got revealed.

Also accurately gave lots of other good info.

Idk, I agree, there are lots of bozos out there, but I thought this guy seemed pretty plugged in.

The “new account” sam is fake. Don’t believe anything unless he’s back on the old account.

I think a lot of people were talking crap after he kind of celebrated being right about Kriisa. We all knew Kriisa was going to transfer.

Sam’s acting like he’s up in his feelings. I question if someone around the program saw the Tweets or figured out who he was and asked him to shut it down. And this was the cover.

I was referring to the poster (maybe “former” poster) here. Don’t know anything about this Sam guy.

It would be great to get both. But here is the comparison between Alvaro F and R.Bailey, if we only got 1.

stat - AF / RB
FG% - 54.8% / 47.7%
2pt% - 61.8% / 48.3% (131-212 / 198-410)
3pt% - 41.3% / 41.5% (45-109 / 17-41)
FT% - 78.4% / 76.8% (98-125 / 175-228)
Reb - 9.1 / 6.1
Ast - 3.2 / 3.8
Stl - 1.4 / 0.7
Blk - 1.2 / 0.8
TO - 2.3 / 2.7

Fulgueiras is better almost across the board!

Alvaro is more efficient, and better in rebounding and defense

Bailey gives me feeling of another Carr

We need a better rebounder

One thing to factor with Alvaro is RMU playing the 341st ranked SOS by defense in KenPom this season. Bailey at Davidson by comparison was 142nd.

Really like what I see from both guys and either would be a great addition.

Assume Alvaro comes here

Do not know if he is starter or backup

If he is backup, he will be upgrade over Almonor...

Wonder what that means for Gawth?? Would Mara come off bench? I know nothing about him other than he’s 7’4
I think we have good chance with Alvaro despite the decision of other frontcourt players.

If Gawth comes here, I do not think we will recruit Mara even if Garrison leaves.

If Gawth comes to Michigan, I think we will pursue Mara

I think Gawth will make decision very soon, prob in 2-3 days.
