    If you lose 2 or 3 players from your rotation, you're not going to win. The 11, 12, and 13 guys on your bench certainly aren't going to save you.

    Makes sense. Most teams only play 7-8 guys. What's the point of paying guys that never play and transfer at the end of the year anyway? I'd use all the rest of my scholarships on instate kids willing to play for NIL. So basically walkons with the benefit of a full scholarship.

    I'm not sure why people think Rodgers will start? Tre White is not a great shooter, but Rodgers is a non existent shooter. He doesn't even take the shot. A guy that will at least make you guard him on the perimeter that can still get to the hoop and rebound is clearly the superior player. Also...

    Does anyone have any gifs they could post, maybe some with no purpose but including a number?

    so how does making the fans pay the players make things right? That to me is the big thing here. The complaint has always been that the schools and NCAA are making millions on the backs of free labor. Well they're still making millions on the backs of free labor, to them. They just have other...

    this sounds made up, Russian isn't even a real language. Stalin lost it in a card game with Churchill in WW 2.

    Have they tried putting him in a headlock until he signs the NLI?

    Sean Harrington shot 42.8% from 3 for his entire career in the Big Ten. He had a high season of 45.9% and his worst season was 39.7%. Jake Davis so far has only had 1 season where he shot 38.7% against much weaker competition. I think people forget how good of a shooter Sean Harrington was.

    The Big Ten is a much different conference than the Southern. Who does Davis play over? Underwood has always played a 7-8 man rotation, that isn't going to change all of the sudden. Guys we know will get minutes: Boswell, Ivisic, Morez, White, Humrichous, wing still to be named, that's 6...

    How can you say we can ignore his 27% 3pt shooting on low volume, then point out he shot 44% last year, on even lower volume? The fact that his 3pt shooting volume is so low is the a large indicator that he knows he can't shoot and thus does not take the shots from 3. Richmond looks to me like a...

    Look at their stats: Hawkins (Soph): 19 mpg, 5.9 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 1.5 apg, 44.2% FG, 29.2% 3pt, 65.0% FT Booth (Fr): 19.9 mpg, 6.4 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 0.5 apg, 39.1% FG, 29.7% 3pt, 63.4% FT They're extremely comparable. I personally was never a Coleman fan, but he did make a big jump his Sr year and...

    Right now, we don't have enough offense to have a guy on the floor that can't score from farther than 6 ft from the hoop. Plus, if Ivisic is in the paint more, it will make it more difficult for Rodgers to drive. To me, Rodgers is going to be battling with Carey Booth to see minutes. Boswell is...
