Would not be a waste of a scholarship if we had another open. But personally I would rather see it go to an experienced transfer at PF or an experienced PG depending on how Dante (and Beard’s progress) evolves and only the staff will know that for sure. And it would provide the best chance for more instant success next year especially if Aminu stays only a year or two and then we could definitely use the extra scholarship it would provide for 2022 to try to keep the recruiting momentum going. So unless it was somehow Chet or Baldwin then I would be patient for now but guy looks good.

If the staff is still looking at pf types would like to see them take a look at this kid Watched him against Beard (Hargrave) and he was exceptional Could definitely be a good get and to have someone his size being able to shoot from distance would offer a lot of options in attack coupled with his ability to get in the paint and score. And I do not think any of the offers for him are high-major but that can change fast as he has generated some interest so we could stand out immediately now. And the reason why i think he is not “known“ or ranked high: This season is only his second year after coming from the Netherlands so he is a bit under the radar and could go big. phenomhoopreport.com/getting-to-know-2021-68-anouar-mellouk-fork-union/ Just some bits from ^^^ (Article from Nov 2020): "moves well, has a fantastic soft touch on the floor, and the ability to step out for a mid-range shot" Went "4 of 5 from three" and "10 of 13 from the floor" when he was player of the game last year in a match seen by the writer "terrific ability to knock down shots with a smooth, confident stroke" "he could quickly be a prospect on the rise nationally"

Aminu addition puts us 6th nationally on 247 right now. Even if we fall out of the top 10, it's still gonna be such a great class. Talent at all positions, with a diamond leading the way. The athletes at every position is crazy...I love our current team but man I can't wait for next year.... I don't understand how you can love our current team.

They're still "OUR" team. I loved those Estrich(sp) teams also. I'm very frustrated with the team but just like with family you still love them....lol

So unless it was somehow Chet or Baldwin then I would be patient for now but guy looks good. “Iowa State, South Carolina, Georgetown, Cincinnati, Providence, NC A&T, Tulsa, NC Central, George Mason and more have been in contact with my coach. All of them are trying to grasp the whole situation at the moment, while still worrying about their own seasons.” Mading speaks about fit with this decision and he seems to have a good grasp on what it is he is looking for this time around. “I’m looking for a school that will fit my game and help me develop into a pro. I want to play in a good conference where I will play good competition, day in and day out.” basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/suitors-lining-up-for-kuluel-mading-following-decommitment
