No Portrius Potrynko from Lithuania or Nduki Canalwa from Cameroon? Times have changed

We were sitting good with Nanga Eboko from Cameroon early in the process until his tragic passing from beef jerky poisoning.

Hope the NIL donation from his family is robust. Oof.

He's like a walk on under the previous rules. You're not going to fill out your 14th and 15th spots with guys that expect to play.

Does he get a scholarship at least? If so that's not a bad deal...

There's been so many changes lately but I believe all 15 guys are now on scholarship.

not a bad idea, auction off the last 2 roster spots to the highest bidder. How much would someone pay to get courtside seats and all access passes to practices, locker rooms, traveling with the team, amenities?! Just a joke, don't come after me!

I'd let it fly in the pregame warmups.

According to Tony Liebert, Nixon will be a preferred walk-on.

A number of coaches don’t fill all 15 spots. They leave one open in case there is a possible transfer (in) during the season. No right or wrong way. Coach’s call.

Great job Coach Medved. Roster is now deep enough to survive injuries and players who may take time to develop. Should have some great competition come summer workouts/fall practice fighting for playing time.

Scholars all!

Going to be fun to see how the new faces mix with the returning ones. Hopefully when the dust settles we are in the tournament mix.

I wasn't initially thrilled with the Medved hiring but he proved me wrong last season based on what he accomplished with such a depleted roster. I can't wait to see what he can cook with a full fridge.

No Kris Keinys or Jack Wilson’s. It really is different.

That's not a real gun, is it Clark?

Clark:
Are you kidding? This is a Magnum P.I.

Lasky:
It's a BB gun!

Clark:
Don't tempt me. I could put an eye out with this thing.

Lasky:
You couldn't even break the skin with that thing.

Clark:
Yeah I could. It could lodge in the skin and cause a very bad infection.
