Remember when Ayo missed the Michigan game—and then we blew out Michigan? Weird things happen in college basketball. Just saying. We’ve game-planned to stop Hunter and now he’s not playing. Will that throw us off? Sorry! I’m a constant skeptic until the victory is in hand.

I also had YouTube TV. It’s a bit pricey at like $65 per month. But most games were televised. I dropped it as soon as the season was over. I plan on subscribing again in November—assuming it includes the BIG10 Network (These things are always changing).

Those were some deep rosters. But that’s much harder to do in this day and age where players jump ship as soon as they are not happy with their minutes. We have a great blend of talented starters and young players with the ability to Develop into something special.

1. How do we know there’s been dialogue about this? Now that he’s declared himself, we have to assume there’s a 50/50 chance he’ll be gone. I feel like we were surprised. 2, We seem To be linked to anyone between 6-6, 6-7, or 6-8 who can shoot a 3. No centers. Again, I feel like we were...

I‘m with you that I did not see it coming. Although on hindsight, we have two small forwards who were sitting out this year and it seems like we are in on a TON of small forward recruits. Also, based on everything I’ve read, Ayo is going pro and Adam Miller is coming. If Ayo does not go...

I worry Tevian just doesn’t get it. He gets in the game—tries to make a big play. Fails. Immediately comes out of the game. He’ll go for a steal–miss, and give up a lay-up. He’s out of the game. Touches the ball and jacks up an immediate 3. He’s out of the game. I really hope that we...

With his size, drastically improved free-throw shooting and his ability to run the court, Kofi seems like a lock to be a top 15 NBA pick. He’s already a lock to win the Big 10 Freshman of the Year and it’s early January. Can you imagine what kind of hype he’ll be getting by March? Which...

I hope you are wrong. Not that I wouldn’t LOVE to see Ayo here for year 3, but if he sticks around—something went wrong. He gets injured or regresses. I want to see Ayo elevate his game to the point where he is a top 3 pick.

No. There has been nothing official came out about Higgs. And Higgs recently Tweeted that he missed the season due to a food injury.

Good point. Not sure why he’d wait. But he lost his starting spot last season to Demonte. He’s undersized to play the 4 and Georgi is likely to be locked in at that spot. So at the 3 spot he’ll be competing for time with Demonte and an improved Allan Griffin, and Tevian Jones. Kipper just...

True. And I gotta agree with you 100%. That being said, right now we appear to have everybody returning—minus seniors and Higgs for medical reasons. We have the potential to add one of the better recruits we’ve had in years to fill our greatest need. The arrow is pointing way up for us...

Giorgi has a great work ethic and I suspect our #1 priority for him this offseason will be for him to develop a 15 foot jump shot. Last year we needed him to be the low-post offensive presence. With Kofi/Samba/January, that will no longer be a desperate need.

Either way, we’re not going to have a huge hole at the 4. As of right now, our 5’s will be January, Kane, and Cockburn. That is awesome—especially since we’ve been so depleted at the position. At the 4 you are looking at Georgi with backups of Tevian Jones and Allan Griffin. They will be...

I’m not 100% certain, but I believe he is set to graduate. That would allow him to transfer.
