He is Evan Mahaffey"s brother, son of Jamie Mahaffey.

That is correct. Jamie played select soccer with my son for several seasons. His parents, Jim and Gloria were really nice people.

As of now, no true PGs are on the team. Heres a look at a few who are still left in the portal that could be of interest.

I took height as a consideration, so I did not go any smaller than 6'3". Desmond Claude is an interesting prospect. Highly rated coming outta HS. Also a one time X Recruit.

Pop Isaacs is also still available. Not to say that more PGs won't enter the portal.

At this point all we have returning from last year is 32 minutes and 9 total points in Big 12 games. That’s Jordi, 0.00697674% of our scoring. If transfers want to play in the Big 12, there’s plenty of opportunity at UC.

If we get upgrades on scoring, I'm willing to trust John Calhoun. My take on his style of play: yeah, we have to try to stop them, but we aren't hanging our hat on defense because we're going to outscore teams since we are hard to stop.

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.

I would take Conerway. He split PG duties with Enright, so was often guarding bigger wings. Still posted a 3.4 DBPM and 8.8 overall BPM in Big10 play. 34% assist rate and 68% eFG at high usage. Those are great numbers in the top conference, though he missed a lot of time and was turnover prone. But I have no idea if he's eligible or if we're connected to him at all. There are thousands of players in the portal. I try to stay away from analyzing guys until we have a connection.

Utah State's Adlan Elamin has committed to UC

Nice. Hope Perryman is announced next.

[London 'Cat]

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.

Utah State's Adlan Elamin has committed to UC

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maybe because of the proposed new 5 year eligibility rule?
