Weedy, apart from Furphy, do you think there are any potential future Boomers in the boys?
If so, who do you think in that group?
Cheers

Furphy (Connecticut) and Adair (Loyola) are leaving for college mid-year for the boys. I assume the rest of the list is staying until next year.

Marcus Vaughns is legit.

Offer from LSU and has also spent some time with Illawarra. Potential next star?

Vaughns being eyed up for a next star, had a hell of an outing recent NBA Global games. And from the limited look of him with the hawks they are really keen on him. With an american father and citizenship he can get a chunk on the NIL compared to others which could sway him

Fagan also getting big time offers it seems early on...

South Carolina, LSU, Kentucky, Miami, Texas, Arizona, Mississippi State

Although kids with US citizenship have it easy logistically with NIL, I think the Aussie kids without US citizenship are getting all of their NIL money, just routed via Australia.

Two bigs are coming in for the CoE women, which doesn't really answer your question Weedy!

Need more guards for sure. A COE team with no primary pg and spots wasted on locals to fill the gap. Should bring in 2-3 pgs asap.

Not many bigs around atm, college or the senior ranks so I'm all for developing as many as possible at the COE. 09/10/11 has quite a few 6’4+, good to see.
