That pass the third play in the sequence where he passed it to himself was pretty awesome (edit makes it look that way).More than the dunks that pass at the end...

I guess I am drinking too much kool-aid. This assessment appears rather pessimistic to me.NCAA Basketball: Ranking the 10 options for Oral Roberts transfer Kevin Obanor

This article also says we're a "bubble team at best," describes Kofi as already being gone, and describes our front court as Payne, Lieb and "several undersized power forwards."

Back court bottom half of the B1G, front court top 5. So at best is closer to 5 in the B1G and no where near the bubble.This article also says we're a "bubble team at best," describes Kofi as already being gone, and describes our front court as Payne, Lieb and "several undersized power forwards."

I think you have that in reverse.Back court bottom half of the B1G, front court top 5. So at best is closer to 5 in the B1G and no where near the bubble.
This. Our backcourt is really good assuming none of the freshman give us anything. At least one of them will.I think you have that in reverse.
I mean, people can assess the roster however they want. I don’t think this list was “who would benefit most” because there are a multitude of teams with worse options at the 4. We do have a weak front court presuming Kofi leaves, and I’m not sure the order is based on our perceived struggles.This article also says we're a "bubble team at best," describes Kofi as already being gone, and describes our front court as Payne, Lieb and "several undersized power forwards."

We do well as the underdog.This article also says we're a "bubble team at best," describes Kofi as already being gone, and describes our front court as Payne, Lieb and "several undersized power forwards." Not sure it's the most reliable info. Not sure we want it to be.
Sure, but my point was I don't think anyone who says we're "borderline at best" to make the tourney and thinks Lieb is our 2nd most notable front court player is a reliable source for handicapping this recruitment.I mean, people can assess the roster however they want.

Yeah I guess it depends how heavily they weight the criteria in their ranking. One component was fit, but other components were rumored chance of landing. If that was near the top then surely I could see it.Sure, but my point was I don't think anyone who says we're "borderline at best" to make the tourney and thinks Lieb is our 2nd most notable front court player is a reliable source for handicapping this recruitment.
WhoopsI think you have that in reverse.
Most people INSIDE our fan base don't know much about BBV and Coleman either.We do well as the underdog.
Also - most people outside our fan base don’t know much about BBV and Coleman. And both were on the roster last year and didn’t play a ton. So they probably figure DW and JG are our “undersized forwards”.
