In the old pre-portal days it was important to balance your classes so you had a good mix of veterans and youth.

We had crazy turnover last season with only 1 starter Coleman returning

Fortunately we have 2 SR transfer starters from the portal - TSJ and MM
and
freshman starter Skyy at PG

Welcome to the new NCAA
But don't forget the Sophomore class. Goode and Melendez!

The best I can tell is he shot 83% on FTs, 49% from the field, and 38% from 3 over the summer.

Fears over that same period shot 79% FT, 35% FG, 17% from 3.

So while he doesn't appear to be an elite shooter, he's better than Fears.

If we do end up getting him, Purdue won't be happy with us. However, if he was legit he'd only need 2 names. Consider me skeptical.

Nah. This is the NIL era. It is Jos. A. BANK.

Can we pay them with Jos A Bank suits? I bet we can get a deal...

The Montverde connection with Skyy has to be a plus with DG-L, right?

Just pulled up their roster from last year. Sheesh. 5 top-40 players from the 2022 class. If he was getting playing time with a 7-man rotation (something he stated in the article) color me impressed.
I don't believe Skyy played in the Championship tournament because of his injury. That's why he made the 7 man rotation.
