If we get Mady, then Gwath and Saunders can fight for playing time at the 4, while Mady + Heide are a good 1-2 punch at center. Then our true freshmen at PF and C can develop for a year without playing time, which is a good thing. Butler, Boyd, and DJ at the 1, Waters at the 2, Byrd at the 3... probably Boyd plays at the 2 some of the time. I'm assuming Butler stays. Could still use a (decent) grad transfer at the 3 who can spell Byrd and provide a veteran presence. A 6'7"-6'8", 3 and D grad transfer would be nice. If not, we will probably see some smaller lineups with Waters at the 3 and Boyd at the 2. That worked well for us with Matt Bradley at the 3 on our run to the NC game. I've been wondering, does Saunders have the quickness to guard on the perimeter? If yes, then he might slide over and play that "3 & D" SF role for 10-15 mins per game. That would clear some space for Compton to get a few mins at PF.

sure seems on offense that he prefers to play on the outside and shoot threes
his defense is a question
In addition he was about 95% on FT so quite important that he get to the line
do agree that Compton will need the PT as he likes to rebound and score near the basket - a couple of needs for the team

A 6’9, 250 pound guy that has a 7’4 wingspan who likes to dunk it when he’s around the rim is something we need. He got minutes in the B1G and will only have better numbers in the MW because teams don’t have guys who can match up against 250 pounds of muscle.
Sissoko, Heide and Gwath give us excellent depth at the 5 for tournament play.

I assumed because he had misrepresented himself and it's harder to get him qualified. But didn't ask. Didn't matter at that point. But yes, our team is already too young. We're only seeking very experienced players. We don’t seem THAT young. Butler is in his 5th year, Waters a senior, Saunders and Byrd are juniors, Boyd is a redshirt junior. But agree with a senior or grad transfer this would be a good mix of old and young guys. Boyd technically is a RS senior, since he started the same year as Butler. Its his 5th year, 4th playing. But Byrd is a RS Soph. He has 1 year of experience. Saunders didn't play a lot His first year. Our 4s & 5s include a junior, soph & a bunch of 1st year players. Our backup PG prior to Boyd was a lightly used soon in Davis. We needed to get older. Dutch likes old. This will be Dutch's youngest team in several years had we not added 2 upper classmen. 1 down, 1 to go. The other reason we wanted to go older is we don't stack players ahead of guys already on the team. We don't want to recruit a young player over Davis or Heide. We want them to know.their path to starting.

Never hurts to have an experienced, decent backup big on your roster. Not a shot blocker, but can hold his own. Not that it's Mady, but I heard we had a visitor who was supposed to be a grad transfer which ended up not being accurate. Basically cut short the visit as a result. Again, not saying it's him. What does this mean? Was supposed to be a grad transfer and that was not accurate? How did the coaches not know what this person’s eligibility was? That seems real fishy. Guys self report their academic class when they enter the portal. You dig into that during their visit and subsequent interviews. Its my understanding he self classified as a grad transfer which wasn't accurate. It changes the calculus. It obviously wasn't Sissoko since he hasn't visited.

Academically Bryd will be entering his third year so is labeled a Junior this upcoming season
But in his true Freshman season he started out as active player but got injured so I think only played about 4 -6 games ? So would guess that if he wants he could apply for an injury red shirt season and get an additional year - if he wants to after the 25-26 season ?
Mady has played 4 years at MSU and did start numerous games his last two years . He did go from about 20+ minutes his third season to 15 last season . Did have 5 rebounds per 15 minutes but only 3 points -Did not attempt a three . FG% 57- while his FT improved from under 50 to 71% Only averaged .4 blocks per game - so more of a big body then rim protector
Agee might be considered the more active player down low but per Zeigler he is chatting with ASU and the Big 12 teams
- Mady likely to visit SDSU this week . If Mady selects Washington he would have to face the BIG opponents again . CAL would mean ACC opponents . Colorado plays in the Big 12 next season so a lot of very talented teams

Name is escaping me). Showed me something there that I felt I hadn’t seen from him.

(Dutch talked about how he was limited last year & they'll look into getting that back). My guess is they won't even look into it until Byrd decides he actually wants to use it. It's very possible he never does. It is a virtual slam dunk when, or if they do apply so for all intents and purposes he's a rising RS Soph.

Interesting, I was at SnapDragon last year and was talking with Miles who said that he already had it. Maybe they had checked on whether or not he would qualify…

Bryd entered SDSU the same year as Saunders
Not sure if you ask for the medical red shirt until you have completed your regular eligibility ?
Crazy wrong that basketball does not allow a player to play up to 5 or 6 games and still get red shirt similar to football that lets you play 4 out of a teams 12 game schedule

Sissoko's (Michigan State) official is scheduled for today. Agee (Bowling Green) has already made his visit, and the next notable one I've heard of is Jared Coleman-Jones (Middle Tennessee), who will be here tomorrow and Wednesday.

Just based off how frequently Mady Sissoko's name has been misspelled on this board... maybe he wouldn't be the best fit.
