Smart move by Brandt, safe country with very good money in the top division.
Good signing for Gus and will work with a great coach.
Oh no I guess Trev isn't great mates with Angus and the ultimate recruiter and couldn’t get the deal done. I guess being told last time he will be recruited over for an import less a sour taste in his mouth.

What's the next underwhelming announcement?
The answer to that is Ogilvy or Pledger.
Ogilvy to the wildcats. Please, basketball gods, it'll be DELICIOUS.

Hunt was bought in because Brandt chose to go to Europe.
If the Wildcats were going to use their third import spot on a centre to start over Brandt, they would have wanted to have grabbed someone better than Hunt.
That website (sportando basketball) is so full of advertising, how can anyone even read it!

Brandt told they will get an import
Brandt opts out because he doesn't want to be a backup
Wildcats sign Hunt
They didn’t sign hunt first then Brandt left, they told him what they were doing, so he left. It’s not that hard to work out
100% did happen. Ask any former player, coach or Angus himself. They'll say it exactly as above
"They didn't sign hunt first then Brandt left, they told him what they were doing, so he left. It’s not that hard to work out"
Yet they still got Hunt, someone who wouldn't have replaced Brandt as a starter. So you're really trying to say the Wildcats told Brandt he'd be a backup to a centre that they didn't yet have on their radar, Brandt left, then they signed someone worse than him?
I'd be more inclined to believe that Brandt was told they'd be recruiting a centre as their third import so his starting spot and minutes may be up for grabs, in which case he made the decision to leave instead of work for it. Disappointing but his choice in the end. Cats still won a title without him.

Recruiting hunt was a mistake by Cotton. Friends and all.
