Dushawn London of 247 Sports lists UC among those to have reached out to Arizona State big man Shawn Phillips. The Dayton native averaged 5.4 and 5.2 in 17.9 minutes per game this year as a junior. Phillips played a year at NC State and two at Arizona State.

I just looked up Phillips and found his bio to be more involved. While it's true that he spent two years at ASU, he originally signed with LSU for the 2022-23 season. 247sports.com says he's from Ypsilanti, MI, but had enrolled at a school in Glendale, AZ, to finish up HS. However, his LSU bio lists his hometown as Dayton. Finally, his ASU bio says Phillips started at Dayton Belmont, moved to Ypsilanti Prep, then to Dream City Christian.Originally posted by GoBearcats31 View PostComment

Per Sam Kayser of 24/7 High School Hoops, UC is among the many to contact Wichita State's Corey Washington. The 6'5 rising senior (who played his first two years at Saint Peter's) averaged 13.7 points and 7.5 rebounds for the Shockers this season. Had games of 18 and 10 versus Kansas State, 18 and 15 versus Memphis (overtime game), 21 and 11 versus Oklahoma State in the NIT.Comment

Phillips had a 0.2 BPM this year. He's a pretty good defender and rebounder (2.3 defensive BPM, 10% OReb), but a turnover machine (24% rate) who fouls a lot (6.6 per 40 minutes). Those weaknesses would be normal for a freshman, but you'd expect some improvement by a player's third season. His turnover rate has actually regressed each season though. If Page's turnovers were keeping him off the floor, I'm not sure Phillips would fare much better.Originally posted by GoBearcats31 View Post

Washington had a 1.8 BPM this year, and 4.5 a year ago at St Peters. He's an excellent undersized rebounder (11% OReb) and a high usage guy who gets to the rim and foul line a lot, but he only makes 48% effective field goals and is not a good passer or defender. We need guys who can create their own offense inside, so Washington excites me more than some other bigs we've been linked to.Originally posted by GoBearcats31 View Post

How active can UC be in the portal while still playing? I guess that’s the GM’s job to recruit from the portal?Comment

And now we'll see some outgoing Portal action.Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.

Tidbits from Chad's recent podcasts, he thinks Jizzle will be back (I'm not happy about that), expects Day Day to be back, doesn't think Mitchell or Skillings will be back, thinks odds Reed is gone are better than not. Some of this he's said is more guesses than any strong inside info. But it's better guesses than anyone else who's going to say anything publicly is likely to give.Comment
