MAX GREEN IS A WILDCAT!!!

[NUera]

I thought we’d lost him when he was scheduled to go to FSU next week. This is a potentially very big pickup. Patriot player of the year as a frosh. The 6-6 freshman averaged 15 pts, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Now we just need a center.

Ah. Thanks for the correction.

That's a good get. Much needed. Now a big guy.

Could be dicey if there is any chance we are still waiting for a definitive clarification on Barnhizer waiver attempt. Even if it is low probability……

What is the connection? # of scholarships? Because we don't have any experienced players over 6'7". We would get crushed in the B1G

I thought you could have 13 scholarship players.
5 freshman.

That is 12.
For reference, Boo announced he was returning around May 8 a couple years ago. NU had to hold that spot waiting for him. Not even sure if Brooks is a possibility for next year, but if he is, the Cats would seemingly have to hold a spot for him.

“Max Green” sounds like a Michigan State commit.

Wake me up when we sign someone with “Purple” in their name.

Yeah but that 13th spot has to be held for a big man transfer. i’ve seen some chatter on The Rock about a potential 14th scholarship for this season though. Maybe that’s the plan if Brooks gets a waiver

We aren’t. Brooks is done.

Technically it’s just 15 roster spots, but NU reportedly only funding 13 scholarships. Only way we could take 2 Bigs is if Hurlburt or Smith leave and we fund the 14th spot.

It’s not. NU is only funding 13, going to 14 would be a second transfer Big.

 

[GatoLouco]

Really good get, at least on paper. We have now a fair amount of 3 pt threats in Windham and the two transfers. Should help capitalize on Nicky Buckets’ game.

Should also make us more attractive for the bigs we are pursuing.

Isn’t 13 an unlucky number?

Usually.

These new rules are confusing. If we funded a 14th, that would mean cutting a walk-on yes? (Not that I’m complaining - I’m just trying to understand how it works. 15 is a hard cap no?)

The limitation is now roster spots regardless of scholarship vs walk-on. 15 spots, supposedly NU only funding 13 scholarships.

So… yes, a 14th scholarship player would mean one less walk-on. Supposedly Hurlburt moving on, but haven’t seen anything official.
