If he's saying this morning's post about Michigan is cap, color me highly interested in this round of drama. Even if we don't get him, I'm happy seeing Michigan fans squirm

Irvin was not supposed to send out that tweet ...
I hope we are at a point to find someone that brings a different skill set that DMW. Slasher that can finish and the rim, play point at a high level and shoot the ball. It's not the same thing.
This TSJ recruitment really is something lol
Haha, you don't even know the half of it ...
Not expecting it to happen at all, esp. after Kofi left, but TSJ committing to Illinois after all this would be the funniest possible outcome. Imagine the boos in Ann Arbor.
It was the 1st time also...
LOL, diversion tactic. He's headed to UMich.

I guess someone is going to have to explain that tweet to me like I am 5... or 65.
Michigan needs to worry more about whether or not Juwan is even going to be there next year ... And less about who gets admitted and who doesn't ...

Cap = bs. Hence no cap = for real/no lie

Until it's January and you want to be...But really, it all depends on what Skyy and Epps are capable of doing at this level and how quickly. The reason to have a vet guard is b/c of the certainty, but the ceiling is also usually lower (given that we've missed on a guy like Brandon Murray...now, if there's another option that becomes available on that level, then this won't apply). Take Kentucky for example: they probably would've been better off playing TyTy at point rather than giving 31 mpg to Sahvir Wheeler, who needed the ball in his hands to be effective (non-shooter) and whose offensive/defensive ratings aren't nearly those of TyTy. They might've taken a few more lumps throughout the season, but probably would've ended up better for it come Feb and March. Now, your highly-touted PG might end up being Devin Askew instead of TyTy, which is the risk and is the reason Cal went out and got a guy like Wheeler after the 20-21 fiasco. Given that we have two seemingly-capable young PG/CG talents coming in as frosh, the odds are pretty good that at least one can be effective next year, if not really good. If both happen to hit, then we're golden. I don't want one, or both, of them to have caps on their potential playing time because we brought in a vet that's good but not as good, and also has certain PT expectations. I think we need to be really picky about who that guard may be and not bring in a vet with warts or limitations just to bring in a guy that's played a bit at this level. It's also needs to be somebody that is a fit on or off the ball and is OK with playing 35 mpg or 20 mpg depending on what's in the team's best interest.
Lakers SZN?! The Hornets job just opened up, Juwan had a cup of coffee with the Bobcats during his playing career. Let's get crazy.
Illinois leading, then FSU, then Depaul, then commits to Depaul, then decommits a week or two later, then winds up at Texas Tech, then Chris Beard and his people get into it, then Chris Beard leaves for Texas, then TSJ people talk to other schools before he comes back, then he enters the portal after this year, then MIF puts out his "list", then the credit situation happens, and now we are here
Cap = BS

wow.... i am getting old
I've heard this injury about Sky a lot, didn't I think it was 0440 say he was tearing players up in pickup games? If he's doing that he must be in pretty good shape health wise. I'm ok with Freshman point guards as long as they have others around them that can handle the ball also.
definitely the most likely scenario haha
Haha, I had to ask google ... Apparently, it's a very common term.
