Not seeing anyone else reporting it yet but this guy generally isn't fake news.

He will definitely be undersized in some matchups. Hope is that his athleticism helps make up for it; he's generally been a good rim protector at least but his rebounding numbers are pretty poor.

Actual insider info: we're making a push for Emmanuel Stephen from Arizona to be our backup C. Pretty raw player but 7 foot with athleticism. We'll see if we get it done but it sounds like that's who we've set our sights on. William Kyle to be the starting center and this kid to be the backup.

Everything I've heard is that we just were not prepared for the NIL era at all and we are confident we know what we're doing now and at least for these next two years, should have plenty of money to go around. Carmelo is making sure the school is well-supported while Kiyan is here. Also, no insider info on this one, but just from what I've read about the guys that we've reached out to, my guess would be Jerry Deng is a name to keep an eye on. Grew up in Rochester before moving away and even when he transferred to Florida State, hes continued to bring up how much he loved and misses Rochester and he absolutely fits the mold that Autry is looking for. I just feel like this is a match that makes sense.

Some people that are in the know are saying Naithan George from GA Tech is our #1 target for PG and our assistant coaches just started following him on social media so we'll see what comes of that. Lot of teams interested in him.

His shooting numbers inside the arc, from 3 point land, and at the free throw line over the last few years are all elite. I'll take my chances on that every time even if the competition wasn't the best.

Unfortunately I don't have any other names that I feel strongly about. I had never gotten information from the guy that initially mentioned William Kyle, but that name was so out of left field that I felt like he couldn't be making it up. Nate Kingz and Dishon Jackson are the other two names he said to keep an eye on and then the buzz around Kingz came in shortly after that. Haven't heard anyone else corroborate Dishon but still keeping an eye on that one given the guy's track record out of nowhere lol. Desmond Claude was a name that someone else mentioned to me and they've been reliable in the past. I don't think Claude has entered the portal yet though.

Apparently some buzz that we're talking to Nate Kingz, sharpshooter from Oregon State and Dishon Jackson, big man from Iowa State.

Committed.

Apparently the guy that we're secretly targeting scores a bit more than Dedan, but yeah, I've seen some other fans floating Dedan's name around as a guy they'd like to add. I still don't know who it is, but my best guess is that it's one of the following (listed in my guess as to the order of likelihood): Desmond Claude, USC Xaivian Lee, Princeton Jaland Lowe, Pittsburgh TK Simpkins, Elon Ryan Conwell, Xavier Langston Reynolds, Northern Colorado I'm also fairly certain but don't know for sure that we're trying to get Quincy Ballard to come back home to be our starting C for next year.

Starting to hear buzz that William Kyle from UCLA is one of our transfer targets. My assumption is he'd be a depth PF/C type.

Haven't been posting here lately but the only one I was surprised by was Cuffe but I suspect he was told there wouldn't be a role for him next season. Supposedly we should be hearing leaks about who we're targeting for PG sometime this week. Sounds like we intend to spend a good amount of money on whoever it is.

I think this is all fair, though Worthy was still trending up over the 2nd half of the season (a couple invisible portions of games notwithstanding). Worthy was ultimately better than Coleman in year 1, though there was a handful of rookie WRs better than both of them this year, including one or two that were drafted after them). We'll see if that continues to be the case moving forwards. Coleman looked pretty promising earlier in the year before he got hurt; hopefully he'll continue to improve over the offseason and turn into a good starter for us. I certainly recognize some people's frustrations with him, especially over the 2nd half of the year when he was mostly invisible. I think it was a solid rookie season overall though, especially given how young and raw he is. It just so happens that this class was very, very good so merely being solid is still outside the top 5 rookie WRs.

Not sure to be honest, but the teams that have made it that far in the playoffs without really ever having a high scoring game the way the Chiefs did this season is pretty rare too.
