Buckley hasnt committed to Duquesne as far as I can see.  If there is news, please inform us. 
Wondering how long we hold out hope, seeing how a lot of portal players commit during their visits or shortly after.   Was hoping to see something yesterday.   I think he is exactly what we need, PG who can score, pass, and play defense.  Could really vault us into the top levels of A10.  I hope he picks the Dukes!!!

Can we get a new player?   Something else to talk about than someone calling out a few fans?   

Like:  College of Charleston transfer Stef Van Bussel tells me that he’s focused on the following programs:

Duquesne 
Wyoming
Campell
Western Michigan

6’10 sophomore who also played at St. Louis.

OR

Fordham’s 6’7 junior Romad Dean is visiting Colorado on Monday, I’m told.
I would figure Colo will pay him the most, if they want him.

Has also heard from Portland, FIU, Hofstra, UNCG, Duquesne, Binghamton, Oregon State, Loyola Marymount, Fresno State, Iona, +.

Averaged 6.9 points & 5.6 rebounds in 32 starts. 

He chose UIC.   We must not have offered enough $???   UIC?    Chicago is a better city than pittsburgh, but UIC?

100% we need a PG, floor general kind of guy, and we know they exist, probably the most difficult part is settling on $.
But I am not sold on we have enough in the front court.   Dixon and Hughley are it.   And one of those played less than 10 min/game last year.   I dont consider Necas a big, not the way we use him.   And the freshman from Denmark, cant really count on him yet.   
Experienced PG and another upside and younger PF/C type would make me feel excited going into the summer.

Has she committed or was she on a recruiting visit?  No mention of a committment on her twitter page: https://x.com/harrietford_0
Yesterday you posted Maja Rohkohl committed, but that post is now gone.

Based on the brief highlights in this clip announcing her entrance into the transfer portal, Harriet is exactly the type of post player we need, big and looks to be physical and definitely capbable of scoring around the basket. 

If she is committed, she is a very welcome addition averaging 8 pts and 8 rebs per game and was on the Summit League All-Freshman team: https://x.com/OmahaWBB/status/1896990395588075908

Her instagram has Duquesne all over it as of yesterday.   I'd say she is in.   

Yeah, agree, get a bit younger, but not sure what that means anymore.   Still got 4 open spots i believe.  Experienced PG and a young big man would be ideal.

As of 5/6/25

1 Cam Crawford
2 David Dixon
3 Jimmie Williams
4 Jakub Necas
5 Alex Williams
6 John Hugley
7 Jake DiMichele
8 Brandon Hall
9 Dom Aekins
10 Arness Lawson
11 Frederik Daverne Jellum
12 Stef Van Brussel

Sure does, these kids could be enjoying their time at DUQ and getting half way to their degree, and really want to play ball, even if its in practices or mop up time.   Now they have to go elsewhere, probably low level bball schools to have the game in their lives.  Prolla probably can play at some NEC level place.  IDK enough about any of the others.

If Hughley pushed out Wilborn, it was a big mistake signing Hughley.   BIG!

He's a solid depth piece, he isnt playing over Wiborn, Dixon or Necas.   He avg 10 min and 2.9 ppg for Xavier.   He is not the same guy pitt was going throwing parties over.   Its still a good signing.   Cant really count on Barre.   Need a big man, esp in A10 who can throw his body around and be a force, block out those 6'11'' euro players some schools have.  This will be his 6th yr playing college ball.

Well, regardless, would like to get a PG in here soon.   

I wonder if Baker makes more at Auburn than he would in the Euro league?

If you had to guess what amount we can spend on any one player in the portal, what number would you say?   Is $250K too much?   Can we go higher?    I saw the big time, P5 national names, that we arent in on, are going to get b/w $2.5-3M.   Where do A10 teams stand?  I assume Dayton and VCU are near the top.
