    Tre only shot like 30% from 3 but he shot 75% from the free throw line. No reason he couldn't improve and be an average or better 3 pt shooter. For example, Coleman Hawkins shot 61% from the line and 28% from 3 as a junior before shooting 37% and 79% from the line as a senior(Coleman shot 28%...

    Would likely need a congressional anti trust exemption to enforce this. I kind of agree though with some qualifiers. I'd add one instant transfer as an undergrad, allow another as a grad transfer, and allow instant transfers for coaching changes, postseason bans, and other unforseen...

    My understanding of the rule should count potential postseason games in the 30% rule. So Domask should be under 30% by virtue of 7 potential NCAA tournament games and 2 more conference tourney games. Which that interpretation of the rules makes sense because in a situation where 2 players...

    Don't think we have a prayer of getting him but Dybantsa is special. He's a better prospect than Flagg and maybe the best prep prospect in decade imo.

    Lol why won't he necessarily be here in year 5? Seems unlikely in the current landscape but who knows. Also, you have to do right by the kid. He's not going to play this year and an additional year of CBB has a tangible financial impact if he becomes a decent college player.

    I don't really get it. Also any idea why he didn't play in the COVID year? But if he gets to play another year then Domask should have gotten a medical waiver for that year.

    Think the interesting thing about Jakuncionus is that the could be here for multiple years. And next year's team could potentially return a ton of talent since Humrichous would be the only player out of eligibility. Could be a very different off season where you have an experienced, deep...

    Im honestly a bit surprised they sold Booth and White on depth type roles but they both seem like they will come off the bench though White may end up starting. I'd expect the starting lineup to be Boswell, Transfer, Ty, Hum, Ivisic though they will need to earn it. You could even arguably run...

    Domask only struggled shooting the ball from 3 in non-con early in the season where he was unreasonably cold which drags down his season stats. After Jan 1st, he shot 37% from 3 in a 26 game sample size. He was legitimately a good shooter from 3 for most of the season and by far the most...

    Potential hidden benefit. Would be subject to the transfer portal entrance period and be unable to back out of an NLI at the last minute or over the summer. Not saying it would come to that or we would want it to but it could prevent some possible last minute tampering by a team after the...

    We gotta replace TSJ in the aggregate. Nobody really compares to him because he's a unicorn. We are simply not going to get someone that big, fast, and dominant as a 5th year senior probably ever again. Guys with that size and athleticism are rare in general and don't tend to stay at the college...

    Florida State used to regularly run hockey line substitutions at times with certain rosters.

    Lol what? Watkins is the best player of the three and I don't think it's super close. Wells would be my 2nd choice and then I think there is a decent gap to Kelly. Though Kelly is a guard with good size and very good athleticism he simply hasn't been super efficient.

    He should be out there saying he is absolutely returning if he doesn't get drafted in order to ensure Carey Booth gets no minutes. See if Denver ends up picking him to get his son some minutes.

    I mean if it's the right 18 year old surrounded by talent then they can have a huge impact. Brandon Miller was pretty phenomenal as similarly sized guard two years ago. Then you obviously have guys like Derrick Rose and Melo though those are obviously #1 pick caliber talents(didn't know that...
