    Lendenborg returns

    Really thought he would get a 1st round guarantee. Knox returned as well. Both those teams will be really good.
  2. Q

    Why players keep entering the portal after their eligibility has ended

    Because they will never make this much money in a year again which is also why the Euros will be flocking here as well.

    Boogie Fland enters portal

    Cal with NIL getting players to come back is a better version than we had the last few years plus he actually seems to care now. Late in the year looked like old Memphis bully ball. Knox is the key to have a chance to be in the top tier with the other caveat of getting those ball-dominant...

    Are you surprised by Garrison staying?

    More money here than he would get anywhere else
  5. Q

    Platoons

    We were not the same defensively once Poythress went down. Lyles was too slow and Booker got abused on switches. ND nearly got us before UW due to pnr defense.
  6. Q

    Final roster spot - you taking Griffen or Aberdeen?

    I agree on preferring an elite shooter/scorer for the last spot but between the two I would prefer another facilitator. I am dubious of JJ as a PG against SEC pressure.

    Final roster spot - you taking Griffen or Aberdeen?

    JJ can likely give you what people are projecting for Griffen at the same size. Aberdeen gives us another option at PG.

    New name in Portal

    This generation's Hunter McClintock
  9. Q

    Wilkerson to Indiana

    It was about the money, people are parsing the interview too much. Next year will very likely be the most he ever makes in a year so if the delta was a notable amount (IU is hurting for players and has more budget left) then most guys in that situation are going to max out. These guys going up a...

    Wilkerson to Indiana

    And it can start at different times. You never know who is going to come into play.
  11. Q

    Thoughts on this line-up, if it can happen ???

    yeah, aware but the math is not great for the second tier guys. 120 minutes for the perimeter. Easy to assume Lowe, Oweh, and Wilkerson avg 25 each at least. That leaves 45 mpg at most for Chandler, JJ, Williams and the ky boys. I think JJ gets close to 20 mpg so I can see he or Chandler losing...
  12. Q

    Thoughts on this line-up, if it can happen ???

    By conference time I can see Williams and Moreno (as well as Noah and Perry) struggling to get minutes. 5 perimeter guys, 4 bigs. Great problems to have.
  13. Q

    I see in the latest rankings kam Williams rated pretty high

    86 on On3 (Lowe is also not rated as well there at 59). The key with Williams is working on his ball handling and his release point if he is going to play SF. I don't see any time at PF.

    Alvaro Folgueiras

    Looks that way. I think he is looking at Williams as well as someone that he play as a stretch 4 in a pinch, esp with JQ. I think we get one more perimeter scorer and that will be it.
  15. Q

    Acaden Lewis de-commits

    Probably need to identify and avoid players with parents that involved that you want to retain and develop. Not surprised at all, this is happening everywhere. I commend Pope for going for the best roster possible next year. These players now don't hesitate to jump and the coaches have to be...
