    All I gotta say is really, who cares about Humrichous' minutes and what he was promised before Coleman was more clear about coming back to college? If Ben H wasn't on his last year of eligibility, there's a not insignificant chance that he could transfer out of here to a different school next...

    Hard to get NIL money if you get kicked off the team. Try telling an 18 year old Russian who's been living in Madrid that he can't drink or get it on in his private time.

    Man and here I am struggling to figure out just how we lost a recruiting battle to f***-ing BYU. For projected NBA level player....? A school where they literally kick student-athletes off the team for spending the night with their girlfriend just won a recruit over us....? C'mon now!..don't...

    I'd assume being a Russian national wouldn't make the process any easier at the current moment either

    I really doubt we ever see a run like that again in my lifetime where our guys beat 4 top-ten teams in one month.....ALL AWAY FROM HOME.

    The irony here is that there were definitely minutes to be had at the 2 spot for Jase Butler/ Sencire if they had been willing to compete for it LOL.

    NBA Draft

    Bronny being an McD's AA was solely on his name. Complete nepotism. Dude averaged like 11 points a game (pretty sure there were some Cali HS playoff games he didn't even score), undersized CG from the beginning and was never the best player on Sierra Canyon EVER. His HS ranking was a complete...

    So as it stands right now....DGL is our only potential 2 guard right?

    Very well could be, just depends on how players look once they actually start competing in practice I guess. But you don't bring a player like Morez here to potentially be 3rd string behind someone who avg 6/4 last year. My money is on him getting a whole lot of minutes (for a freshman)...

    I think he'll be first one off the bench at the 4 behind Humrichous.

    Yeah, didn't really know where to slot in Tre since I thought Ty was going to be locked in at the 3. That's super interesting to me that you really don't see Ty as our starting SF. Don't think we see him at PG again, he's definitely not a shooting guard, and we have more depth options at the 4...

    Boswell at the 1 Tre White at the 2 Ty Rodgers at the 3 Humrichous at the 4 Ivisic at the 5 That's most definitely not a bad way to start the offseason if that would be our starting 5, not taking into account that we might still have some other options possibly to add at the 2/3 spot and for...

    Agreed, and even this might be an understatement.....I'd say the Adriatic League is several, several levels higher than the B1G. This is the league where Dante Exum went to get his NBA mojo back, Jokic was league MVP before coming over stateside. I think there are several veterans in the...

    Nobody is saying that our brilliant plan from the get go was to miss out on Ray J. We wanted him bad, put all our chips in, and lost. It happens and that's CBB recruiting for ya. What I'm saying is the insane bellyaching (i.e We're going to be in the B1G basement, won't even make the NIT, we're...

    Of course simply questioning the staff/program doesn't make you a hater by any means. But the people who were saying that we weren't even going to be a tourney team/the staff completely failed in the offseason due to one miss were obviously not justified in the slightest. The point is to win...
