Like his predecessor Akuel Kot, Agbim comes by way of the Division 2 Fort Lewis College pipeline in Durango, CO.  
 

likewise, he has 1 year of eligibility remaining.  

Now waiting for an NAIA big man and and senior transfer guard from another mid major and the circle will be complete

I was actually going to go check out the Jamestown College roster and see who we might be looking at.

Can you explain how/why Boise State boosters would pay for a camp in Spain? This doesn't seem huge money maker- or something only Boise State could offer. How many Buzo Burritos did you eat this year?

Establish a pipeline? Cardenas said he played with Thomas Bropleh (Boise ‘14) on a “pro” team in Spain before BSU. Maybe an assistant could go and turn it into a recruiting trip?

What's the story on Jazz Gardner?   I don't recall hearing his name much for Nevada.  Is there an upside to his game? 

Pack fans, any inputs?

He needs time in the weight room, he is skilled offensively but anytime he got the ball he would shoot it no matter what good shot or bad. His body is not developed and was a defensive liability so he did not see the floor much, he has the potential to develop into a player , probably another year out before he is a real contributor

Thanks that makes sense.  The entire front court graduates after this next season and they need someone in 2025.

I was getting ready to ask. I wasn't impressed with him and he didn't play much. I was wondering what Reno fans thought. He's obviously a high ceiling talent, but clearly not developed. 

I admit I'm not terribly thrilled if they were to pick him up, especially compared to the Cardenas pick up. However, they do need a bench big and will lose Omar and Deggie next season, so he wouldn't be heavily relied on until his Jr season. It's an intriguing addition if it happens, but not earth shattering. Could potentially pay off, but more likely a rotation guy. 

I do like picking off MW players. Leon is probably the least liked coach in the league and this would just add to that.

Supposedly Leon was only looking for one starter;  either a PG or a post.  He got his starting PG and now it using the portal to build the roster with development guys for 2025 when the Broncos will lose 4 starters.   Jazz fits the bill even if Leon's ability to develop posts (or PG's for that matter)  has been far below his ability to develop wing players and forwards.

Nelly coming back to UNM. Bit of a mixed bag last year, but when he's on, he's a very good rebounder, and rim protector.

Leon certainly hasn't had as much success with bigs, but he's had some wins. Ryan Watkins growth was stellar. Deggie has transformed from a mostly perimeter guy to almost exclusively a post up guy. When Omar arrived, they said he had zero post up game and turned into a legit scoring threat down low. 

I haven't heard any connection to Boise State, but I'd love to get this guy from Wazzu. He'd provide immediate rim protection and defense while also getting three years to develope. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/5174971/rueben-chinyelu

New Mexico has a very solid core to build around. Should certainly be one of the favorites in the league.

I think Jazz has a big upside and a change of scenery might be just what he needs. Obviously it's impossible to know what's going on upstairs in the teenage brain but just from observing body language, he never seemed very excited to be a member of the Pack.

Sometimes guys who were big time stars in HS get to college and are told they aren't ready.  Sitting for a season makes the shoulders slump for sure.   Hard to smile too.   Then the attitude becomes a cancer and any development slows to a grind.  Change of scenery might help.  But he's going to hear the same thing when he gets here if he signs.
