Expect announcement of commitments soon

[Da Coach]

We need to save the last scholarship for a big man, a post up guy

There are still 3 open scholarships. I'm guessing one big man, one wing guard, and one more guard with PG skills from the transfer portal.
If both Dillon and Montgomery commit as is rumored, the 10 scholarship players for 2024-25 are:
Darius Hannah
Duke Deen
Connor Dillon
Zek Montgomery
Christian Davis
Ahmet Jonovic
Demarion Burch
Almar Atlason
Timoty van der Knaap
Jaquan Johnson

I was thinking that also.. A good job of recruiting so far. Whenever you recruit a player you never know how he will turn out. You hope he does what you think but it does not always turn out that way. What I like about Zek is you know what you are getting and what he can do

[Dubl R 1]

Why? Let's say he comes back, is Valley POY and leads us to the NCAAT. Then the following year leaves to go play in the Big10. It would be a worse look for us than if he never came?

I just don't understand this line of thinking. It's time we start looking at college basketball season by season.

Doesn’t zek only have 1 more year?

[Da Coach]

Yes, Zek is a senior next year, and did not play in 2020-21, thus is not entitled to the extra Covid year. Next year will be his last.

Well then it's moot.

That is what we need to fill our roster spots

Ummm Zek will be a senior this season. I think his eligibilty will run out as he joined BU after the Covid season.

Nice mix of vets with young guns. Formula for a championship team?
Need a big stud to complete the roster!

Why would we need another PG? Duke will play about 35 min. per game, then JaQuan 5-10, and Zek can run the point fairly well.

Also not sure we need another 3-point specialist.
We have Deen, Zek (if he comes back), Davis, Dillon, and Atlason who all are solid from deep. Scratching my head here.

One more of a game-winning 30+ foot shot back in February- https://twitter.com/WinonaStateMBB/s...00448716861944

One of the weirdest-looking shots I've seen from someone so good from outside. Can't even tell which is his shooting hand as he flings both wrists in his stroke. Well, as long as they go in!!

Looks like he doesn't need a lot of space to put up his shot and does a good job to create space for his step-back shots.

I had thought Zek would have 2 years of eligibility left so my bad. My premise for him coming here twice then leaving twice is also moot. At the end of the day egib52 as I have thought about it for a little bit you’re right. Still wouldn’t like us being used like that though but that is the NIL world we’re living in. I guess for me Always a Brave should mean exactly that for a guys career.

As was clarified above. I was responding to bigjimmy.

It is a quick shot with someone on him. That's good

Yeah - can you tell which is his dominant shooting hand? So hard to tell, but judging by his foot placement, he's a lefty.

My bad, bro.
Go BRAVES!

[BUfan17]

Seems like he will be a solid addition to the team. Even at the D2 level scoring 21 PPG is impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing him play. Nice to have a local kid on the team again too.
