We need another big man. Kepnang's health can't be counted on and Potter is essentially a first-year wizard at Hogwart's.

That or add a legit small forward who can handle the ball. I love Kam and Hawthorne, but neither one of them is probably not going to create offense off the bounce.

Let’s hope Potter is like his namesake Harry and is legit as a young padawan spell thrower.

This guy might make a decent insurance back-up ... not sure:

Find a way to get Oweh back. I know some are ready to move on from him but that kid plays his *** off and has plenty of talent to make us better.

Move on can't take anymore jacking unnecessary 3's to grandstand for the nba scouts

He walked out of bounds with the ball in Nashville in a blowout then shrugged it off.

That’s not playing his *** off.

Another game he fouled with about 8 seconds to go in a 10 point game because he only had 8 points and wanted to get the ball back to try and get double digits.

He’s a net zero player.

One interested tidbit that the lawyer said about this is that this group of seniors basically will see every player they went to school with, both the 5th yr Covid seniors when they were freshmen and the freshman from last year get five years of eligibility. Everyone but them.

Kind of puts me on their side now.

Will the NCAA appeal to the higher courts or just let the players play is the question.

as for Oweh and everyone who left their name in on the draft, they are ineligible and the ncaa would win that battle like they did with the Alabama G league player back in january

It looks like 32 players right now trying, but some of them are complete non-factors. 16 of them are legit power 5 starters.

Not me. I have not read the opinion, but “it’s not fair” does not cut it. Rules are made and every rule leaves someone out. Under the rule when they graduated, their eligibility expired. The new rule can have, but does not have to have, a grandfather clause. So, I really don’t care about these guys and who gets to play when they don’t.

Me and BB agree. 😉 If you’re going to make a rule it has to start sometime. May suck for some but you have to do it.

Are all these players in the transfer portal? If not, they have to play at the school they ended their season at.

Dude is a bully and a force. He’s hard to deal with at the rim and his stroke was coming around. I feel like we haven’t replaced him and you will feel it see it. Oweh would be a bigger get than Momi. A third year with a more talented team and bully Oweh.

If the appeals court follows the laws of the land , the players will lose this. Sestina's class had people trying to sue because they didnt get to play their full sr seasons and people after them were getting an extra year. Those lawsuits didnt work .
