For Adam Miller, I wonder what his dream school is.
Maybe he signed late waiting for a certain offer?
Maybe in portal hoping for that same offer?
If he doesn’t get it...head back to Illini?
Hope he heads back to the home school and stops the chase.

Huh? You must be drunk. You just added that to the “argument.” Just...no.

I’m confused. You say the “bad attitude” is fan base conjecture. I can see your point of saying that when people were bringing it up BEFORE he entered the transfer portal. At that point it was just speculative. But now that he’s in the transfer portal you’re saying there’s STILL no merit to it? Just because someone from the team hasn’t come out and said he had a bad attitude?

Honest question: What was the size of the guards on his own team that he shared the court with?

When Plummer started, other starter was 6-5 and first guard off bench was 6-3. I say when he started because I believe he came off the bench until mid-season when Rylan Jones (6-0), Utah’s PG, got hurt. Jones was a true PG. One thing to note is that even with Jones healthy, Utah ran a lot of its offense through Timmy Allen. Don’t think Plummer ever led team in assists for a game after Jones was hurt.

EDIT: Went back and looked and Plummer and Jones were starting together at beginning of season. Not sure when he shifted to coming off the bench.

That's a very liberal use of the word "star". Chaundee brown was better at Wake Forest IMO and did it, so who knows.

Agree. Depends on what he wants. If he wants to be “the guy” we are probably not the spot for him. In fact if that’s what he wants he’s probably better off staying at Utah, as he would be their top returning scorer.

If he wants to play in the NCAAT, us and his other schools are better options. Brown chose to come off the bench for a team that earned a 1 seed. If Kofi comes back and Plummer comes here, decent chance we are competing for a 1 seed again next year.

I'll be honest in that I don't think you are remotely close for any comparison.

1) Deibler was not a ball handler at all, but could move around on screens well whether 2 or 3 point shooter. Podz has some handles but not be as elite of a shooter right away.
2) Melendez to me is nothing like Hummel. Does not have as much of the build, better athlete, and not as good of a shooter.
3) Payne is nothing like Nigel Hayes. Hayes was shorter, built more, and has amazing footwork in the post. At times, had a 3 point shot. Unfortunately Hayes is the same age as Trice. In general Payne is more like a Clint Capella (not saying he is as good or will make NBA) type - rim runner, shot blocker, elite athlete.

Agreed. Pod-Jim-ski (pronounced) really reminds me of Herro, not just due to AAU affiliation, but in shot mechanics and movement without the ball.

Lots of chatter about TyTy Washington and Kentucky...wow that recruitment escalated.
Kansas was in there but appears to have taken another lead guard.
Baylor offered.
Good for him.

I know our chances appear to be very low, but can you imagine Curbelo and TyTy playing together? We'd be the most exciting team in college basketball.
