Just looked it up and there was even an article about Jaylon being considered for Rookie of the Year. He had some impressive stats..
JG is a sneaky good player developer guy

Or John Groce's ladder to...
Not sure where to put this but I'm curious if anyone knows the story behind #EveryDayGuys ?
If I’m not mistaken, isn’t this the year for the summer overseas trip? Would be very beneficial to our young team and to see what our new staff is able to get out of it.
If we can combine the really good perimeter D we saw late in Season and resetting our 7 second Offense goals, I can see us making some progress. I hope Kane will be our new Egwu rim protector...that would help alotI think DW will see plenty of time at the 2/3, taking minutes from one of the freshmen.
I can see this as an early rotation, but as Big Ten season rolls around, I agree with Obelix, the "rotation" will be reduced. Playing time will go to about 8 guys, with a few minutes here and there for others.

Truth.
Kane's ability to play D, block shots and rebound is soooo much more important than offense, at least initially. His first year that's where the focus should be, plus building his body and athleticism. Hopefully, he's up to the task.
FROM hoops recruiting Red River....
thought that was interesting, so I looked at the top 40 teams in 3 pt. fgp, and saw that 19 of the top 40 made the NCAA tournament. The 40th team shot .384. The teams who made the tournament dropped off significantly after the top 40. I noticed that Knight and Pitino jumped on the 3 pt. shot as a significant factor for their teams, as soon as it became a rule. I have thought 40% is good, .375 is okay. Even though .375 equates to 56% 2 pt. as far as points scored, there are more long rebounds which often give up easy baskets to the opponent. If you want to speed up the opponent, and score in the first 10 seconds or so, to get open looks, it is a tool set that you must have to be successful. I think Underwood saw to many bricks last year, and is trying to improve that. http://www.espn.com/mens-colle...PointFieldGoalPct/seasontype/2
On winning team stats....Villanova was elite in APG, 3PA and 3P% per game. Just goes to show you that you can live by 3P and win.
absolutely! I looked at the espn top 40 various lists and it is amazing how the top teams in the country are avg 17 or more assists per game. If you combine that with elite 3p % (close to 40%) and great D, you have a winning recipe (see Villanova)Its also not just about volume of 3 point shots its about the quality of those shots too. Generally the teams with the best % are ones that get a lot of player and ball moving, lots of drive and dish to get the defense moving around. Just running up the court and chucking up a 3 is not going to be helpful.
Many newcomers. Glad most will be here in June rather than August. AJ, Kip and TFs leadership through summer will likely determine how quickly we can put this train back on the track with this new team. We are largely starting over...but with some quality newcomers. I dread hearing in december that we have only installed 25% of our system.I love DaMonte and I am excited for his game to develop. I simply see T. jones as a better fit for our offense due to his outside shot. Now DaMonte does exactly what we need in the 3/4 press so can Jones play defense? I have no idea.

They have already started.Tyler and AJ will have installed in summer.
They have already started.
Why? I still do not understand the persistence on this board of getting rid of Kipper.
Maybe OA works his magic with Matic all summer and we see a mobile passing (5) non positionless big when the season starts? Or maybe he gets creaned if someone else reclass' and decides to join us?
Ya know. I have this strange affinity for matic and I can’t figure out why. In a much earlier post somewhere, I put that he didn’t have the skills. I’m not sure if that’s true or if the game was just moving way, way, way too fast for him to ever show what he can truly do (along with all the other major adjustments he was making last year). I just see his athleticism as a separating factor if it ever all comes together.
That said I’d trade him for Okoro without blinking.
Matic was offered and the staff accepted his commitment for a reason. He missed a ton by not getting here with the rest of the freshman last summer. Add in the cultural adjustment of going somewhere that doesn't speak your native language, adjusting to entirely new food, and starting college all at once, of course it's going to be a slow start.
If Matic stays, he's going to improve a lot this off-season. He'll contribute next year.
