    Last Four Champions - Roster Breakdown

    I don't disagree. My primary take-away is that how talent is evaluated and who is considered "good" is not always obvious.

    Mason Williams to UK

    Keaton Wagler is a freshman at Illinois and their leading scorer. He was ranked #179 according to On3 coming out of high school last year. He is now a projected lottery pick in the NBA draft.

    Last Four Champions - Roster Breakdown

    These are the top 6 scorers from the last 4 national championship teams. I was curious how these teams were assembled in regards to direct recruits and transfers, and how they stacked up based on individual rankings: 2024-2025 Florida Gators Walter Clayton (Sr.) - Transferred from Iona in 2023...

    MO WILLIAMS HIRED AS AN ASSISTANT

    All of you guys talking about Mo's coaching record have missed the boat. He's not going to be a head coach. He's going to recruit and develop players. Kenny Payne is a great example of a guy who is awesome with player relationships and getting the best out of them, but sucked as a head coach...

    MO WILLIAMS HIRED AS AN ASSISTANT

    Mo was actually a solid NBA player. If nothing else, he might help draw players that want to be around a guy who actually knows how to succeed at the next level.

    Butler’s Finley Bizjack to the portal. Cats interested

    Highlight videos like this are always hard to assess, but he seems like a tough kid who has a multi-dimensional offensive skillset. He was a non-factor in both matchups against UCONN this season which is a bit concerning, but could also be indicative of Hurley's defensive game plan. If he was a...

    Elite Eight Thread

    After reading the KSR article today about Keegan Brown's philosophy for roster construction, and then watching Michigan and Duke dominate back-to-back games, I see both approaches to roster-building enjoying success. Duke has elite talent and has done basically no roster-building through the...

    Case Study: Defining the Kentucky Standard: What the Data Actually Shows Since 1985

    I'd be curious how this compares to other schools in the top-tier category.
