Not saying I'd rather.

We do need at least 2 more bodies to be able to practice in a function manner, IMHO.

Great base of talent. We could use some experience.

Casey Simmons is transferring from Northwestern. He is a 6-6 SG from Milton Mass. We offered him in 2019. Started 7 games as a freshman. Three star recruit.

Not sure if he'd have to sit out a year, as he entered late.

Oh, no team yet. Just saying he's from Massachusetts, is talented, and is available. NW was expecting him to start next year.

This really is a guy I hope we go after. Could use him this season.

agree ...any talented kid from the Baystate should be hearing from the Flagship.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

They'll make exceptions if a kid wants to play closer to home. Hint, hint.

He played at Mass Rivals with Wildens Leveque and Gianni Thompson. Former 4 star recruit and #1 player in Mass. I like the sound of it all.

Yes on 6/15/2019 per VC.

Also, Warren Williams from Manhattan just entered the portal as a grad transfer. He is a PF 6-9 240, and started 3 out of 4 years in the MAAC. He would rank high compared to a lot of what is currently in the portal.
