Coleman no doubt loves a good troll but I'm kinda skeptical that he'd go as hard as that to troll his own fan base if he weren't planning to at some point here turn around and give them the "surprise" reveal that he's indeed coming back for one more go.

That's just my .02 but I'd genuinely be kinda surprised by that.

If you are Booth would you sign with IL without knowing for sure weather Hawk was coming back or not? I have no answer it just seems an odd signing at least at this time.

Does anyone else get just a teensy bit nervous when they see a post from / about 'Rez?...."After careful consideration...." It's probably just me....I'll work on that.

I've had the exact same issue. I felt like I'm never gonna see this kid play. The 22-23 season and smoke that Brad may leave, TA may leave, or any other turbulence has made me anxious.

He's an in-state recruit that shot up the rankings, he committed very early, has been drama-free, and looks to be the absolute real deal and quality kid.

I'm as or more excited to see this kid play than Ayo.

Man, if Hawk comes back we could have the best bench in the country with TY(assuming he doesn’t start), Booth, Morez, Goode, DGL, etc. to go along with a really, really good frontcourt.

*anticipating us adding a B level or better starting center.

I wouldn’t underestimate Coleman’s ability to have some fun even with our own fan base on social media - but there are a couple clues that would indicate there might be something behind it

Someone posted yesterday about Coleman and his gf playing at the same school next year - where does she play now?

If Coleman’s injury rehab isn’t going well as has been reported and he can’t go through the pre- draft process and workout for teams, he won’t be happy with his draft stock I would think, so maybe coming back and balling out for another year and making some NIL bag would be pretty appealing

Can't BU force Shauna Green to take Coleman's girlfriend on Womens Basketball Team?
