I agree I think he is soaking everything in this year. He needs another year and Isaiah and his family seem very happy with Duke

That doesn’t sound accurate, maybe Georgia Football but not Basketball
I also read that Evans turned down money from Georgia. I just don't know if that amount is accurate, but still note worthy that he turned it down.
Good point, me either. It was just something I read but my only thought was, I'm sure some of the other Duke players have been contacted as well.
No knowledge but John Bol of Ole Miss is an interesting name to me. 7’2’’, bouncy rim runner and shot blocker that is a bit limited offensively in the traditional way. Was a McDonald’s AA last year and I’m sure was coached well by Beard. Seems like the type Jon likes as the 5 - very switchable and a lob threat. Played limited minutes so could possibly sell him on being your 4th big and develope in the mold of Mark Williams, Lively, Mal.
Thought his eligibility was done hence the reason they got a couple of guards. Dude has been in college forever.
The Cassius Winston, Perry Ellis, Cormac Ryan, RJ Davis Undergraduate Plan?
Next year's roster will definitely need another center. A physical force for rebounds and defense... A "Theo John" backup center. It will be needed.
^ agreed DBM, never know when injuries can rear their ugly heads. Ngongba and Brown need another shot blocker/lob threat to join them for 2025-2026
This is the source. It’s on the internet so it must be true and here’s the link to prove it
I saw it on Fb a while back. I’m skeptical, but in this era wtf knows? It’s eaten up with pop up ads, so only the headline is accessible.

I'm good with a Theo John type, heck, I would even be ok with a Ryan Young. I just wonder how many big men want to be the 3rd string center? That said, you could potentially sell a young big that Maliq only has one more year left, so they would slide into the backup or sharing a lot of minutes with Ngongba.
