Nothing exciting about Raiders at the moment. I’m happy we’ve got Josh and Hassan but praying PJ can work his magic on the new guys. It’s going to be crushing when another BBL team announce Donte. It may be he's holding out for a significant pay rise which, tbf, he may well deserve. If he was signing for another club my feeling is that he'd have done that already. |

So Mr T is Johnson the replacement for Donte?

So Mr T is Johnson the replacement for Donte? Does he not look more like a replacement for Shelton? |

Shelton was a Brit. Ouch if that is the case.

And that is what worries. Good experience USA man to a wet behind the ears one. Shows poor intent. Could Raiders be going backwards.

Are there going to be any positive comments..  He looks like a great signing. Why can’t he be a rookie that makes an instant impact and puts up numbers and pulls down boards every game? Have some faith you bunch of miserable old men lol |

Being honest I still think out biggest issues are still there with no big defensive presence and a general lack of reliable outside shooting

So an American and a good shooting European would do nicely 👍

I think it’ll be another rookie.
I trust PJ he knows what he’s doing and certainly knows how to put a team together.

Last seasons Rookies went capoot. Don’t like 2 US rookies on one team.

Jackson Hyland has to be the most middle class white American name we have in the BBL thus far for the coming season.
"Hey Jackson, are we going to hang at your mom and dad's place on Lake *Insert American lake name here* for spring break?"
That said his stats look pretty good, and I'm always inclined to be cautiously optimistic about the desire and hunger the NCAA II athletes bring to the professional game over some of the D1 athletes who sometimes think they've got a divine right to be playing pro ball - Matt Schneck being one that sticks out in my mind from recent times.

So Donte won’t be returning to Plymouth.

Can't blame donte after last season he's probably in line for the biggest pay day of his career!

Suprised clubs dont come out and say player x y z aren't returning. Considering the level of attachment between fans and players in the bbl

I think Tony Dorsey came to the BBL when his College was in D2. He was amazing and for me allways a legend.

Donte the biggest floppper I've seen no longer playing for us, he was worse than Bernardino
Ultimately hell never have a season that level again, dont blame him for wanting more, hes in his 30s now

The Midlands is very pleasant and Lestah is a welcoming community...

Really hope they bring in a European or 2 at the beginning of the season. Just so they get a reasonable start to the season. Think it is important.
