in all seriousness, this really sucks. highest rated preseason team in a long time, coming off a final four, and we lose our preseason AA best player for a significant part of the season due to an injury suffered in an offseason workout
he was HS class of 2022 so would meet criteria if he had not already signed his NBA contract. that being said, it seems it wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility that he could argue he didn’t have the NCAA option available to him at the time he signed the contract..
to that point, does anything change about the way we workout/practice/prepare this year knowing that a championship is on the table? simply cannot have big injuries to key players this year
tough for UM. also, man did IU miss out on their potential golden goose. love pointing that out again
if BU were to leave today, I imagine OA would be the guy, at least for the season
