If we can't get GG, Gapare is a nice second option. He's at South Kent School and is eligible to reclass to 2022.

Well I just realized that we were not in his final 7, so that doesn’t bode well moving forward.

Oh well, back to GG!

So, in today’s Charlotte Observer, there is a story that GG is going to reclassify to 2022 and flip to South Carolina. There is a small chance he goes GLeague. Announcement is supposed to come end of week/over weekend

Yeah I think that’s been the talk for a little while now (well at least since the days following UNC taking that Northwestern transfer) — never really heard UMass mentioned as the possible landing spot except by UMass fans.

LOL, that or there's some sort of family connection.

Is there an actual rumor about Rollie? I don't know much about him. Looks like a player with same name played at Miami in 80s.

Hearing a lot of chatter in the last 24 hours about the UMass coaching staff out and recruiting at AAU events.. music to my ears.

Ty for the scoop!

I wonder if we will end up finding players and a new assistant coach. Let's hope not as a package deal this time.

I wonder if Ricky is a possible promotion... :idea:

Please keep the information flowing!!!
