    You gotta ignore the rankings and look at the programs recruiting him. He's clearly going up a level and people are selling him on a big role.

    Transfer rankings are terrible. I wouldn't put much stock in them. What's most important is how players are fitting within the overall roster and ability to provide an immediate contribution unlike prep recruits.

    That's just false. @FI_8905 disclosed this issue a week ago saying there's an assistant prolly headed out and didn't like the opportunities their recruits were getting.

    Beyond feeling like he owes them an opportunity, he owes it to himself to be viewed as a guy who will protect and lobby for his recruits. It's essential his coaching/credibility that is on the line is all his recruits get buried on the bench.

    You're missing on some stuff from db1headband and FI_8701 or whatever the numbers are. They all have a different way of presenting info but it's very apparent all are tied in.

    If domask doesn't get the waiver, I like Johnell Davis to replace him the best. I know he's not quite as big but he can still play with his back to the basket or just go get a bucket. Plus he's a more consistent outside shooter.

    Jeremiah and Boswell would only overlap 1 year. It seems like in today's environment, you should only worry about your roster construction from year to year.

    I would see Domask making it less attractive for someone like Davis vs Storr.

    UConn 77, Illinois 52 Postgame

    The hardest part is now watching Alabama or Clemson playing for a spot in the final 4. Before the draw came out I said I hope we get unc as our 1 seed and possibly Arizona as our 2. I thought they were most beatable. I figured if you just get to a final 4, anything can happen bc its something...
