Ok so it’s a big nothingburger again?

Who knows. There seems to be smoke around TSJ….at least from his mom….but the staff takes anything from that camp with a grain of salt…

So of all the guard names we've been linked to (Ramey, Malachi Smith, McCullar, TSJ)

Is he better than any? No, and by a wide margin

I disagree. Not a huge deference after one year of college. It's too early to tell. Only Smith is likely as good a shooter now but he wasn't as a freshman he shot 22percent from 3. Plus who was Smith playing against in the mid majors? Millers first year numbers match up well vs any of those guys and ceiling is very high in both ends of the court. Plus he was playing besides Ayo, Trent and Kofi who took the vast majority of shots AM played very well and started on a one seed as a freshman for a reason. We missed him this year too. If he isn't already as good I feel he will be. Three if those guys are solid defenders and I would be fine with them or AM. They are all good players. Personally I feel Miller will end up as good or better than any of them because he is solid on D and has a much higher ceiling as a shooter.

This is the second Elmo gif…If he is coming, I hope he is a package deal with Big Bird! He is a thick body, I think he would be hard for other bigs to get around!

Do y’all all know the same thing or do you have no idea what @LvilleILL is talking about?

Ohhh okay. You and LVille both did different Elmo gifs so it threw me off.

[Future Walk-On]

Been seeing a lot of Kentucky buzz, but yeah, he feels like a Zaga type for sure.

I stand corrected. They aren't in his final 10. 🫣

And we aren't either for the record lol.

I thought it was just yesterday the staff was no longer interested in Shannon.

That was yesterday. Lol.. & Apparently Michigan had too many commitments for next year. They might have not had interest yesterday but if he calls & says he wants to commit & you have recruited him twice, what do you do?

An obvious nod to Matic Vesel returning to the beloved.

God I hope there's fire to go with all this smoke. TSJ would be such a perfect fit. Thinking about him out there with Skyy, RJ and Coleman.... phew. The versatility and length.

Agree with the talent, but still, 4 on 5 might be pushing it a bit

Probably should've clarified I wasn't naming a full lineup hah, just the three I'd be most excited to see him with. Slot in Dain, Rodgers, Goode or mystery transfer big as #5!

See y’all tomorrow!
