Exactly. He's had 2 years to work on his shot and may be passably good at it by now. Elliot Cadeau certainly improved his 3 point shooting % over his 3 years to date in his college career.

By season​

  • 2023–24 (North Carolina): 18.9%
  • 2024–25 (North Carolina): 33.7%
  • 2025–26 (Michigan): 37.6%

I have yet to hear any insider who has seen practices, any player, coach, or anyone, remark that Ty Rogers shooting has greatly improved over the last two years. Nobody really says anything about what he looks like on the floor unfortunately.

Can Weber be faulted for Brian Randle punching the wall and breaking his hand? Or Kendrick Nunn? Or Darius Paul? Or Jamar Smith leaving Brian Carlwell for dead? Jereme Richmond legal issues? or Cliff not signing? Leron Black stabbing a guy at canopy club? Or whatever jalyon tate did to get suspended? Eric Gordon shoe bribes?

I think revisionist history give Bruce a bad wrap. Imo if Randle didn't break his hand and disappear we would have won a Natty in 05.

The short answer is yes.

Excellente! I suggest we frame this post. (Then check back in 3 weeks.)

I'm extremely curious to see/hear how the Blackwell recruitment actually goes down.

Watched the Nike Hoops Summit highlights. Lot of potential with Morillo. Shot looks fine. Can see him evolve into a plus passer.

But one theme in Brad’s recruits is a lack of athleticism. I hope QC is the start of us breaking that trend.

Sounds like Duke is getting more involved with Juke Harris …

Louisville hosting Knox for the role Blackwell would have …

Very interesting …

Lol...I'm overdue. Cancelled twice during covid.

I want to stick googly eyes on my butt cheeks, but then I thought maybe I should keep it business like.

Nah man, gotta do it. Doctor would laugh his !!! off.

Edit: This coming from someone who works in healthcare. Seriously, I think the whole crew would get a kick out of it

I like how this is sounding. Juke is gonna go to the highest bidder from the sound of it. UNC is involved there w him too.

Rumor has it that UNC’s offer to Juke was higher than Michigan’s in that $5.0-5.5m range. Crazy right?

If Lee, Ty, and Jake all stay. Legends in my book.

Especially Jake. It would be very easy to maintain you deserve to still start. And tons of P4 teams would line up to plug him into the 2 or 3 spot because he’s such a great fit everywhere.

Seen many many posts stating that E8 starter (Rodgers) has earned the opportunity to start in 25-26 Sorry not how it works, playing time is earned. game to game, year to year. Both Jake and Ty would be great teammates and team leaders but don't see either of them being significant contributors.
