Our Karaban one day.

I’ll take Kansas and Kentucky to finish the blue blood set.

I think we’re good on wings with Dre, Jake, and Morillo. We’re also good on 3 ball shooters with Vaaks, Coleman, Jake, Mirk, and Tomi. I expect Z and Dre to hit some open ones too. So we’ve plugged the Ben absence sufficiently. What we are missing is a backup 4. Morillo is not a great shooter...

Glad we’re being a bit more discretionary and responsible fiduciaries of donor $$$ via our version of Moneyball.

Sunny Verma on Brady Pettigrew

3rd time's the charm!

Bro Mason’s shot is pure - he’ll plug right into Jake’s role in 2027-28. And Cole is a special 3-level player. Hope we invite Cole out to the UConn game and secure a commitment as a Xmas present this year.

I think we need to let this ship sail. He's an undersized 4 who has no jump shot for B1G speed/closeouts. And unless Andrej drastically improves his perimeter shot we'll struggle to play them concurrently ala the issue with Andrej/Kylan combo this year (post-the fracture).

Competition levels are pretty awful if you watch the games. Prep schools definitely better tune-up for college ball.

I totally get it too. The longer Duke does without a chip the more enticing it is for a top recruit to believe he’ll restore Durham’s pride. As a side note, toured the Duke campus recently as part of a college visit for my nephew. It looks like Hogwarts. That said Champaign easily clears...

Before this gets buried in prior, locked thread. PG passing and PF rebounding as a wing. And high school & AAU teammates with Mason Martin. In-state / Chicago kid working his way to Top 30 in the country.

I hate indexing on this. Most of us hit our main growth spurt by 16 and at most grow an inch after that.

Slasher SF who has face-up low post game AND an outside shot is why I brought up the Yaxel comp.

My god this kid is smooth. If he can continue to bulk up, you’re looking at a premier SF in the mould of Yaxel in the making. He’s a more important get than Brady Pettigrew given we’ve never struggled getting pro-ceiling guards. But we haven’t had a kid this ready and polished as a rising...
