Utah State's Adlan Elamin has committed to UC

I like Elamin. From what I have seen of him, he plays hard and can score and rebound some (6.7 pts and 3.1 rebs / gm). When I saw USU last season, I got the feeling that Elamin was more of a defensive player. However, his defensive stats are not impressive at all (shot blocking and steals. Less than 1 / gm for both).

I do think that he has a very high upside. He is only a sophomore. Here is a surprise. The Utah State roster from last year has Elamin listed as a 6'9" 185 WING. I thought he was an undersized power forward. His defensive stats make more sense now.

Still, Elamin probably could stand to gain about 20 pounds. I like him. Glad he is at UC

Is Desmond Claude a PG? At 6' 6", I always thought that he was a wing/shooting guard.

Not sure, but 247 has him listed as a PG. I would guess with his number of assist, a PG.

[leeraymond372@gmail.com]

Not sure all these guys would even be eligible. Claude played 4 seasons -- most recent one he missed a bunch of games (I assume an injury?) but may not qualify. Conerway was a senior at IU this season -- and didn't live up to expectations -- but maybe he can get another year Day Day Thomas style. He came in as a defensive specialist and started much of the season but isn't a Big 12 level starter.

Bumping this for the evening-only BearcatNews crowd

No news that Brumbaugh has committed anywhere yet. But there are reports that a couple of schools are throwing upwards of $3.5M-$4M at him.

There are a couple dozen PGs still available with higher BPMs than Brumbaugh. He's not worth overpaying for in my opinion.

I'm sorry and I know it's the state of collegiate athletics today but I just can't fathom schools offering that much for any player much less coming out of the less than power four conferences. I'm not saying that the kid can't play but 3-5 million is over paying. Perhaps that's why he hasn't been signed here yet. If he's wanting the money then he's not going to be proud to wear the cpaw or any brand for that matter.

[BearKatz]

Maybe because of the proposed new 5 year eligibility rule?

That's what I was thinking, so was Baba not elgible for another season at UC? If Baba was, he would have been my #1 priority to keep.

So Baba Miller has entered the Portal, is he trying for another year of eligibilty?

I believe we're still in the running for Brumbaugh unless he's committed elsewhere? Did I miss something? Let's hope the CJC can bring him in still.

6 players signed to date. 3 seniors. 2 sophomores. 1 freshman. Pretty nice balance so far. Still need PGs, which should be the staff's next priority, then filling in gaps in the roster as needed.

if the world had to rely solely on analytics, we'd all be third world.

I think he brings a spark from watching his NCAA games. Glad he is here.

Elamin posted a 3.3 BPM, impressive for a freshman just like Mahaffey. He has a very vanilla statistical profile. Low usage on offense with no major strengths or weaknesses. Just a solid all around player on both sides of the ball with room to develop some skillsets. Played up to competition with a 5.0 BPM in 8 top 50 games. I see him as a backup to Tejada. If I had to solely rely on analytics, I would start Mahaffey over him.
