    I see a lot of 18 year old Josh Giddey. Similiar size, athleticism and game.

    I think some changes are coming, like possibly multiyear deals with buyout options. This is the wild wild west right now, we have the Covid 5th year, multiple transfers w/out sitting out and NIL. I don't want college bball to go the way of a minor league system. I think in the end you would...

    Thanks for posting, the best video of him I've seen so far. He has a quick and effortless release on 3s. Looks very promising if we land him.

    I'm setting the Dainja benchmark on Tomislav. I think it is clear he is a better free throw and 3 pt shooter. Dain was pretty darn good from up close minus going against the two NCAA giants. Passing, I will give it to Tomislav as he finds the player on the opposite 3 pt arc (behind his...

    Legal question regarding DNA, why would the defense ask to remove the DNA since TSJ genetic material wasn't identified amongst the males genetic material. I would think the defense would say, you took DNA and you found male DNA..... but it wasn't my male client.

    I can see a more skilled Mike Tisdale type. I also attended the Portsmouth Invitational and thought the players weren't that tall until I was courtside.

    I wouldn't describe Tomislav I. as a plodding center. Here is my quick take...skilled big man (hight FT, FG, 3FG%s), but is he really 7'0? Looks more like a 6-10 medium built, runs well. Not a defensive prescence at all, will not block shots and likely get dunked on. Not a quick leaper. I...

    There is nothing in this case that even remotely would point towards TSJ. No witnesses, No private time with accuser, no DNA, No video. In fact. all witnesses, DNA, video support TSJ.

    I hope TSJ sues and wins a large lawsuit. This seems pretty reckless to have brought charges before DNA. If they had prior knowledge of DNA and still brought charges I would say criminally reckless.

    Just some quick thoughts. Addition of Ben Humrichous feel like it added a floor, possilby NCAA team now. Also addition of several SG/Wings to portal, beleive we can add a high major player (12-15PTs/game, 35%+3's, 45%+overall), question is defense and passising. Achor (had 28 pts, 8 rebs...

    I like Hunter Sallis at the SG and defensive/rim running center and we are cooking. We are loaded with good shooting. Mousa Cisse from Ole Miss seems to have comparable size and style to Kentucky's Oyeneso. Wonder if we are on him.

    Colorado has 4 players in MOCK NBA 1st and 2nd round. Dayton has blue bloods after their transfers. Did either make the NCAA? Scouting reports have Colorado's top 5 players ahead of Illinois'. Headscratcher, did they underperform?

    Before we answer your question high school recruiting isn't as important because of the transfer portal. The best relationship seems to one that is built between the player and his ATM. Ok now to your question, TA is well connected to the one AAU program in particular but I imagine he has...
