He seems to be in Finch's dog house for some reason - he played a pivotal role last year in the playoffs and earned more minutes, but he's barely played this year, mostly due to injuries but when healthy he's not been playing He seems to bring instant offense when he does play -but it must be...

Yeah - he is the same birthyear as Burries from Arizona who was a freshman this year (and projected lottery pick) while Kylan was a senior It does make you wonder if Kylan didn't reclass etc. if he would have been better off in the eyes of the NBA

Not the way I read it - the 5 in 5 rule would start their freshman year or their 19th birthday whichever is first - then they have 5 years to play - Mirk would have 4 more years I think. Petro would only have one more year potentially, for example - they want to avoid the 23 year olds coming...

Mingo would be my guess - he's been injured but would be the quick guard to add to our rotation and with a 6'10" wingspan could be that menace on defense we're looking for!

Great story, thanks for sharing. It also shows you how these kids make decisions sometimes - recruiting is truly fluid!

I think the National media need to get used to the fact that we aren’t going to have a 6’1” quick PG for the foreseeable future - our PG’s are going to be 6’6 guys who can shoot the three really well and run P&R who handle the ball just well enough (see KJ, Wagler, Vaaks) Brad and Tyler have a...

The Blackwell decision makes a lot of sense now given his quote of wanting to play the lead guard role to show the league his PG skills This was never about Andrej or Coleman - it was about Vaaks and Mirk being the initiators of the offense and I’m sure Brad was honest with his camp about that

The irony of Blackwell to Duke is they may still have Evans, Caleb Foster, Cayden Boozer and Dame Sarr all back at the 1-3 spots - all of whom will be wanting to improve their draft stock for next year - but Blackwell was afraid to come here because he wouldn't get enough usage? Blackwell might...

I'm not sure where you are going with this - if it's "no one here knows who are PG will be by the end of the season logic" Skyy Clark was absolutely our PG that season and would have been until the end of the season, but he quit the team - Epps was a forced pivot Ray J never committed here KJ...

I don't think it's the situation that the money is "gone" - there were donors willing to contribute to getting Blackwell, but now that he's not coming, the staff seems content to go with the roster we have now instead of trying to add another starter - what is driving a lot of the confusion I...

I get it and I agree with you - one national media guy said we currently have the most expensive roster in the country (partly because we have 13 guys right now and others are still filling theirs out) I think we could be even better than last year if folks take a natural step forward year...

In fairness, our expectations should be high for this team - Brad himself says that when the goal is not to win a NC is when he's going to retire. When the head coach himself is saying every year should be a NC or bust mentality, you can't blame the fan base for raising their bar as well. This...

I actually did not realize that- I was just going off our unofficial tracker of those we are interested in! that is quite the rise for someone who didn’t start at Santa Clara

The staff seems to feel good about the current roster with the 14 players we have now. Even if they feel good about the guard rotation of Vaaks at PG, Coleman at SG and Morillo and Lee being able to contribute, they must realize we’re thin in the front court. Big T, Big Z and Mirk are great...

I hear you- but those top 8 include two freshman we would be banking on starting/ready for significant minutes. The beauty of this year is we weren’t banking on Keaton breaking out or Mirk being a starter. It would be good to go into next year having an experienced SG (or SF and slide Andrej...
