I know some on here are saying that we are still looking at bigs in the portal despite having 0 scholarships. Does anyone know if we are involved with Terry Copeland, a HS senior from North Jersey. More of a PF than a 5. It was probably from last season but I recall one recruiting site (On3) giving La Salle the best odds of signing him (over 50%). His video shows a high motor and 3pt range. Reported size varies (6'7 to 6'9, 220 to 240). Listed as a center. The portal really hurts a kid like this who did not sign early. I haven't seen La Salle tied to him. He is not a center. He looks about 6"7 at best. We are looking at true post players right now. |

Does anyone know for sure that 23-24 rostered, rarely playing, international guys are all returning?

So the Greek replaces Efe or Milos? come on man. efe went into the portal in april. he's gone. efstratios was coming regardless of efe's situation. do the math. someone else is leaving or they wouldn't still be recruiting 2024 kids. just not sure who it is yet but the staff knows. |

Alijah Curry to Manhattan
Troy Hupstead to UT Arlington
Both had conversations with the coaching staff… Commitments are starting to pick up..
Front court is a mess. Still gotta keep the faith but man there is gapping hole in the roster that was present last year that is going to be carried over to this year if we don’t use both schollies on frontcourt.
Another year of Tunde or Shep at the #4 is just coaching malpractice

still talking with at least a few portal, four juco and five or six prep/high school low post guys in the 6'10" range. absolutely have to get at least one of them. i'm confident they will. i'm pretty sure they passed on hupstead once jahlil committed. also talking to a few guards.

I'm telling you this out of our long time camaraderie...this isn't drunk, ranting or sleep deprived me, due to my newborn (although it may be) 20 years ago, you used to hammer guys about overrating Rasheed Quadri's defense on lasalle-explorers.com. As your goomba, you're putting Rokas in Quadri territory. **I know that Rokas is better than what we have, or what we can sign right now. I also know that the schools we are losing recruits to are low majors, or mids that are below us on the totem pole (pepperdine) ***I also will eat crow if Rokas shows out in the Big 12 |

I could care less. I only car what he could give La Salle. I return that drink you owe me if La Salle brings in someone better than him. What he gave you in the last 10-12 games or so you are not going to get with a recruit now. |

Nicest campus in the country. Close friend of mine lives out Cali and his wife is high level faculty and had this to say during the tourney: Very hard place to win. Old, outdated facilities. Christian based school with crazy acceptance requirements. Best thing is the location but most average college students can't afford to live in that area. |

From Jake Leiberman:
7’ 2024 prospect Mohamadou Cisse out of Trinity Valley Community College just completed a Zoom call with Seton Hall (offer). Also conducted a Zoom with Chattanooga.
Cisse will have a Zoom with La Salle later today.
A decision is nearing.

My search shows a 6' 10" Mouhamadou Cisse on the roster at St. Louis. He was out of Putnam Science Academy. His freshman year average stats were as follows: Pts 0.5 Rebounds 0.5 Assists 0.1 / Appears to be the same guy.

Anyone else not thought of Trinity Valley CC in 20+ years but immediately have a specific player come to mind when reading that?
