Article: Transfer Portal Target: Ohio’s AJ Brown

This is true. What we need from our bigs next year is at least 1-2 reliable scorers. Haugh will likely be one and hopefully Condo the other. We had the luxury this year of being able to rely on our experienced guards when we needed a bucket. I really hope Condo can improve his finishing around the rim. If he polishes that part of his game he should be a 55%FG big who can get us 14-16 a game.

 

Sounds about right. Both could use another year and with what they both bring to the table they should be fishing in a new boat with all that NIL money

 

Whir for a while? Was is this, 1960?! Jk.

 

Walter is out of eligibility.

 

Bea-U-ti-ful
Hope he doesnt test and they say yeah you’re projected late 1st round

 

The best part about having those 3 is that we actually CAPITALIZED on them and won it all. Certainly a hell of a lot better than having a dream backcourt and not winning. It’s more than worth losing all 3, and one heck of a sendoff. Whatever happens next year is gravy (until the season starts and i place unrealistic expectations on them)

 

Gotta trust Golden's evaluation but still curious - How highly is AJ ranked as a portal player ?

 

A quick search took me to this site--

https://247sports.com/season/2025-basketball/transferportaltop/

A.J. is ranked 166th by 247. By comparison, Lee is ranked 26th.

Updated on 4/17.

For some reason, A.J. is now 171st. New names must have been added to the list.

 

AJ sat in front of me and my 5’1 wife at the national championship. Made it tough to see for her.

 

The staff? What has the staff done recently?


That NC thingy was SO long ago. We have to get back to the present!!!

 

I think Sharp was saying "Is that that Ollie fella coming at me? Who let HIM off the bench!!!"

 

As much fun as this team was to behold, methinks the makeup of next year's team is going to be quite different, and I don't mean the players who have moved on and who will be taking their place. I mean we could have one damn magical front court. And I still say, until I see it otherwise in the fall, Golden is going to tinker with a 2-3 zone defense.

If they can play Condo - Hands - Rioux and then put a Haugh or any other decent sized guards playing perimeter defense, HOLY CRAP!!!

 

Sorry for the post, kind of...

 

And he chose to sit in front instead of letting someone right behind him to switch seats?

HARD PASS!!!

Okay, maybe he wasn't paying attention...

 

What's up with the Australian guard?

 

No AJ? Maybe we go for a 3 or both?
