    Not saying the talent we’ve accrued this offseason isn’t deeper, but people say things like this every year and at the end of the day we slide back into a pretty solidified top 8 at most.

    Partially agreed, but he might have been our 2nd best player off the bench in the tournament, definitely third. I saw enough defensively to be happy, and I think if he settles down offensively he can be a real threat. No reason he couldn’t play 15+ mins next year on a really good team.

    Didn’t work out great for Arizona in the end, since he left due at least partially PT reduction.

    Curbelo AND Miller in those clips got me feeling a type of way.

    Plenty of reports that he’s staying.

    I’m surprised those NIT second round finishes didn’t bread the utmost contempt.

    The Iowa hate spans generations. Heck even in the Groce era there were some heated battles. They are definitely our hottest rival.

    Who was Kalk’s lead first time around?

    Would’ve loved a home and home with IU, only for Goode implications alone. Frankly it, Iowa, and NW should be permanent, but I understand that’s difficult to justify.

    Maybe connecting invisible dots but the severe lack of interest in a 5 this cycle may indicate they’ve know Coleman was coming back?

    Pj Hall would be an absolute grand slam.

    Honestly even if we had 100% retention and Hawkins and Domask moving on, this next year was always going to be an uphill battle. I think we should and are absolutely still capable of being a top 25 team. I think Underwood has bought a season of semi-down (AKA non-big ten championship).

    So 4 more adds? Backup/project guard, starter guard, wing, and 5?
