I miss big Al

He's really facilitating and playing well for L'ville

early 2nd half. 6 pts on 2-3 from deep, has 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Really doing good job moving the ball.

Louisville changing their name from Cardinals to "The Free Agents".

I like their team, gonna be my 2nd team to follow this year

He is playing like a point forward.
Too bad he got too expensive for hawks.
He has come a long way from those 1st few games last year when he looked a little overwhelmed.
Louisville has the biggest payroll in country so he did well

money and the fact we needed a 5 with size and Al wanted to play more stretch 4. It was best for both parties to part ways unfortunately

 

[2432Hawk]

horseshit call on Alvaro there for his 4th foul

 

[2432Hawk]

man, L'ville is gonna be a problem.

Their 7'2" 240lbs Freshman Ekezie WOW!!! 4-6 from deep and a rim protector

 

[Palmerhawk]

Ekezie...wow. 7'2" 240lbs and he can't miss from the arc with 4 made.
That's like Kareem size, living at the arc.

Yes, definitely a reality check as we approach the BB season.
College BB is more talented than ever.

 

[Hawksfor3]

He made a good play on the put back.

And this is an exhibition...wait until they get some games under them. Both teams look very good.

How many points for AF?

https://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=690357

8 pts on 3-4 FG's 2-3 3pts
5 rebounds
4 assists (for a good stretch the offense ran thru Al, good ball mover and finding the open man)
1 steal (but several other deflections leading to others getting steals)

Kansas leading scorers,council and white,20points each, are playing their 5th or 6th? season of college ball with a friendly local court injunction.
NCAA is fighting it in court.

All of which I thought the Big 12 made a conference rule about. Guessing they don't have the stones to tell Kansas to get in line line the SEC to LSU.

Don't know about basketball with all the court cases, but the Big 12 did have the stones to stand up to Texas Tech on Football and Sorsby.

If I recall, Al was getting approximately $1.3M and he wanted more. The numbers didn't work if we wanted McKeever. We will miiss his outside game vs.Manyawu at the 4 but we should be stronger rebounding. I'm also looking for big things from Thompson and Harris also.

Not necessarily "wanted" more... but his value on the open market was prohibitive of us filling the needed gaps in the roster.

So him leaving was sort of win/win.

We were able to land the post size needed and a guard in portal, while stashing some cash for the Cayden Daughtry sweepstakes

Alvaro was able to goto program where he won't be needed to play the 5, and he got bags of cash.

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

Guy hit the biggest shot in over 25 years for Iowa. For him I’ll make an exception and actually wish him well after transferring, he took a big weight off of every Iowa fans shoulders.

I heard in the $2M range.

And i'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Al's a good complimentary player, but he's not a star. Absolute nonsense going on.

 

[toddhawk]

Yes Alvaro hit some huge shots and will live in infamy for us as we continue to watch replays of the wins over Florida and Nebraska (maybe for the 100th time ). But I remember against Illinois Coach Mac being frustrated with his defense and pretty much benched him. I figured then that was it as we wouldn't be able or willing to match his price. But the memories will stay for me and I wish him the best.

 

[J.Hawkeye]

Was a “Bum Slayer” until Tournament play. Glad to have had his contributions, when he contributed but he’s not worth $2M any day.

This. Inconsistent. But, who knows? Might be another "Money Shot" left.

His “might” ability combined with the off-chance he “might” impact a meaningful game does not create $2M worth of value, for me.
