Didn’t know where to put this. Good for him, but reminds me of just how good we could have been this year:

Dude did like some cheese burgers…
Guess he didn’t want to go on the missions. Wonder how much NIL he got to jump ship?
Missions are an LDS thing. Anyway, already graduated from BYU and his coach jumped ship too.

Would love to see him have a great year next year. He seemed like a cool guy. Definitely liked his demeanor on the court.

NET #269 (out of 364 teams; 26th percentile)
Before the portal entries start, who are we definitely losing due to exhausting their eligibility for next season?
Kylan Blackmon- 2 years at Coast Carolina, 1 with us, & 2 at Northeast Mississippi CC (***Maybe he can get a waiver for JUCO Seasons?)
Robert Braswell- 7th YEAR! 4 years with us and 3 with Syracuse! ***Maybe they will let him come back for an 8th year lol jk.
Isaiah Folkes- Currently in his 5th year. All 5 with us. Is he using a waiver from freshman year in 2020-2021 when he only played in 8 games or is this his COVID waiver? Can he return?
Nika Metskhvarishvili- Well we are his 4th college. He began at Seward CC (played in 8 games), then at Ranger College (23 games), then 3 seasons at Louisiana-Monroe (1 season of only 5 games), then this year with us. This is his 6th season! Can he play a 7th like Braswell? Not sure how many injury waivers he has used or if he is using the COVID waiver?
Jeremiah Oden-Played 3 seasons at Wyoming, 1 at DePaul. This current season he should receive an injury waiver and be able to hopefully return to us next season.
Dean Reiber- 3 seasons at Rutgers and 2 seasons with us. I am assuming he is done after this year?
Giancarlo Rosado- 4 seasons at FAU and 1 with us. He has to be done after this year.
WE NEED TO BRING IN BIGS!!!
Folkes and Reiber have gotten worse in their time here!

Probably time for all of these kids to move on. This team has strugggled all season and Fearne needs to get a good reset in.

I know what you mean and I do agree. I would take some back but in different roles. Blackmon & Nika coming off the bench. And will see how Oden bounces back.
Backcourt of Nik Graves and Jaylen Cross and then go from there.

High chance Graves hits portal.
Would like to see JT and Bradford back along with Oden. We have two freshmen with one potential starter.
We have to bring in bigs and a go-to scorer.
I hope Graves finishes here, he’s a legacy and I’d love to have finish the race.

There have been conflicting rulings concerning JUCOs s getting an additional year so not sure if Nika would be granted one at this point. Would be nice to see him get a season free of injuries. As the centerpiece of the 2024 recruiting class, things definitely didn’t go as planned. Plus there’s also the question of the serious geopolitical issues in his homeland that could have a bearing on any decision he makes.
Braswell, Reiber, and Rosado will exhaust their eligibility. Probably Folkes as well.
And, of course, will have to wait and see who stays and who leaves among the rest of this season’s roster.
clt says braswell deserves another year

I would love to see Nika back. Maybe off the bench. He’s beginning to come around and think a full injury free year he could help!!

Graves & Rosado are quality AAC level players.
If Rosado is out of eligibility have to do everything possible and keep Graves and build a new team around him.
It will be interesting to see if Fearne continues to recruit to his and Sanchez style of play or makes adjustments. He is going to have to bring in 6 or 7 players for us to get better.

Rosado will be done - four years at FAU and one with the Niners.
Style of play will be dependant on the roster.

Sounds like lots of recruiting to be done if Rosado is out of eligibility.
Need to desperately keep Graves.
Looking at Oden stats, he fits into our style of play, big man who likes to shoot. But his career percentage FG% is low, might be streaky and the other stat that stands out on his stat sheet in his last 15 games he only has shot 2 FT’s (that would mean he got to the FT line once).
