Putting mbeng and Jeannot basima together in a few yrs….if they develop dependable outside games
That’s a power 5 backcourt+ from a pure athlete standpoint and with size
Add baby joker at the 5 mr wolff
Get long 2024 stock: exciting

I don't see that on his Twitter, but if Yale got him, that's a major major pickup

IvyHoopsOnline reported it and also said that the Bulldogs will take on Gonzaga this season. Haven’t been able to find any other confirmation, but as you said, potentially huge for the Bulldogs.

Ha.
Not directing to you specifically but rather towards the implicit disbelief on the topic of this thread line
it’s like me reading abt what James is going to do from a penn fan quoting a rumor mill
Some ppl just know more. sometimes they are big boosters. Sometimes they work for websites
Sometimes they don’t

Well, he's going to have to sit out a year no? Not that that makes this not a good get, it just won't impact the coming year.

i guess
I don’t think he is the missing link right now anyway
Need development from the bigs including baby joker
I saw mbeng at Kenner league and he banged some 3s
So outside shooting + development of the bigs

In response to james
also worth noting bez played on the winning Kenner league team
Changed a bit since my time playing
Now a pro am
he had some nba journeymen and the guard from duke on his squad in the final
In general he showcased his size and speed against high d1ish caliber guards
Hopefully he works hard to build the multilevel scoring game to go with it.
but you can’t teach what he has and it got obscured against Purdue bc they baited him on the perimeter
You can’t replace swain but hopefully these perimeter guys can all step up leading to a more well rounded offense
I like the bigs. but really hope basa ama and baby joker can step up. The latter also has a unique skill set esp given he is now 7’ 250. I assume Jarvis will show out

Another big pick up for James Jones:
C Samson Aletan (Lake Highlands HS) - 6'9", 200
This guy had offers from all of the big Texas schools - Houston, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, UT Austin - and James Jones managed to get him anyway. He's put together a fantastic class. Looks like Yale will continue to reload.

Yea it would appear James is recruiting at a new level now. I don’t know if it’s his new contract, the contract or alumni support (nil) but keep it going!

Maybe James can explain---why is he sitting out this year since rules no longer require it?

i heard there were some complications with the transfer as of early September. it could be with admissions. But I have no color if it was resolved and if he enrolled. I don’t know.

need to ask a current player when I can if he is enrolled but I find it odd he isn’t on roster even if he doesn’t play this year.
So I assume either it didnt work due to admissions or financial aid
Or he is taking time off mandated or not which means he isn’t enrolled but will.
But the only color I received could indicate either is the case and it’s 5 weeks old

The only public reporting on it (Ivyhoopsonline) had said he would be coming in ‘23-‘24. While the rules don’t require the year off, there could be lots of reasons why. He could be taking a year off for various personal reasons. There could be a basketball related reason involving roster/admissions spots, etc., that could mean he needs to wait a year. It actually seems least likely that he would be enrolled and taking a year off from playing, since that would run his Ivy clock. Though I guess he could be thinking ahead to a grad transfer, and only planning to play two years at Yale.

Fair point on the Ivy clock.
hope it’s a year off for whatever reason.
