Solid couple of days in Shocker Nation!

Combo if NIL and Butch Pierre is paying off these past few days.

Pulling us back from the cliff just a bit. At least for now lol

We can all go back to the cliff when we go 2-37 from 3 in a buy game in the fall.

Nope. Not until there is a significant change in the program, like subtracting DB, or adding an experience X’s and O’s Coach.

I do really like the addition of Butch tho.

Lol yup.

That and still having same leadership is why I said we are only being pulled back from the cliff a bit. But with this staff the cliff is never far away.

Tolu Smith going back to Miss State helped us but I don’t care. Good job BP!

I love this guy. He can play multiple positions. He plays TEAM BALL. Go Shocks.

An impressive prospect, even though only one year of eligibility.

If Gus is not a starter, he would be still getting solid minutes it appears. Can he play some 4?

If we're sticking him at the 4 (seems likely), he needs to be able to shoot better than 32% from deep (average of Trey Wade 2x and Joe Pleasant). Why give up size at that position if you can't stretch the floor? From his highlight tape, I am encouraged that Okafor seems capable of driving to the basket and finishing. That skill was sorely lacking from last year's team.

I am curious to see how the depth chart shakes out; it seems there are a lot of guys on the roster capable of playing multiple positions.

The article says he has a 7’1” wingspan and is a good rebounder. Sounds like he’s gonna play the 4 and maybe some 3.

Poor job of balanced recruiting. Brown recruited lots of 2s and 3s (we already had a couple of them returning too), but Okafor is the only true 4 recruit, and he is a stretch 4. Not a good job of recruiting. Lots of 2s and 3s. Two true 5s and a returning 5. Not any true 1 recruits. Just one true returning 1 in Porter.
