Assuming the rumors of Illinois being a possible suitor for Storr are true, is there any other school or schools that would be their biggest competition?

But the Sincere Parker's and Dante Maddox's of the world are not the kind of impact player DD is.

Storr or Boswell would be (arguably), but not the kinds of guys currently on the market.

I've said it from the moment he burst on the scene last year: build this ship around Dain Dainja. We are in the Sweet Sixteen because BU figured that out just in time.

He probably can't play 30+ minutes a game against all matchups the way Kofi did (though DD and Fletch should try), but getting the most out of him should be the game planning focal point.

BU plays Dain in situations in which he can be successful. Is he match up proof to the degree he should be our new Kofi? I’m not so sure…

Not sure if we will get Storr or not but people do need to remember he's just a Sophomore - if we think back to how TSJ was a sophomore - there is a lot of ability to grow and Storr is definitely ahead of where TSJ was as a Soph

The rumors have been that he just wants NIL megabucks, and if his focus is that more than where he fits, any suitor could dive in the picture with a huge offer.

I both agree with the spirit of this and how players can change and develop, but I'm also compelled to point out that TSJ was never as inefficient as Storr and always a better defender.

TSJ always had a really high floor, injury worries at the time notwithstanding. It's possible Storr is a disaster. But it's also possible he's BTPOY.

I gotcha. I assumed he was looking for NIL but didn’t know how much of a factor it’s going to be for him.

The mere fact he shoots 70% on shots he can get anytime he wants -- this is absolutely debilitating to opponents. When he comes in and we score on 6 straight possessions... well, its no mystery.
