Just watched some highlights...this kid's got some crazy bounce!

All of these things can be true at the same time. 1. We are adding guys with a lot of potential, particularly with Coleman & Vaaks. A lot to be excited about there. 2. We are returning a strong core that went to the Final Four. They know the system, are a connected group, and have tasted...

The offense was predicated on spacing and Jake absolutely provided that. His defender could never help which provided opportunities for others.

And I would say that’s a bit overhyped. Top 10 for sure which is amazing. I truly don’t see this as a top 3 team.

Conveniently left of McDAA part but whatever. Regardless of the rankings, he was a known commodity that could have gone wherever he wanted. I have connections to the family and trust me, he was viewed much higher than top 30. I may be biased but apples/oranges here.

Who was a McDonalds All-American and the exception not the rule.

This is going to sound a bit pessimistic but I’m really not. I think this is a very good team but I feel like expectations should be tempered just a little for these reasons: * We’re losing the best freshman in program history. Wags covered up a lot of holes. * BAM’s leadership and his play...

Yeah…we’re fine without him but a super team with him. It’s a crapshoot with freshman…hope it doesn’t cost us.

That’s a fair point.

I definitely agree if we get both. What I was disagreeing with was the statement that we would be equal with 05 team with only 1 of AS or Blackwell.

Stop it! Either or puts us solidly as 2nd weekend and probably top 12 but nowhere near 04-05. Agree if we get both…super team!

What changed in the strategy to not pivot?

No, but that's a big drop-off from what Blackwell has proven he can produce and then hoping you get production from a freshman. If we're all in on Blackwell and don't get him, I'd love to see us go find a proven scorer that would make us legit title contenders. Don't misunderstand what I'm...

Seems a bit risky to not have a backup plan and hope you catch lightening in a bottle two years in a row with a freshman. Coleman may turn out to be a stud, but Blackwell is a proven commodity. This team has a chance to be special....like to have known production vs potential.

Not ideal
