In what sense? The talent in the McAA is objectively better collectively.

The minute it officially passes, I’m setting the line at 5.5 minutes until some senior sues the ncaa for another year.

Andrej entering the draft while maintaining eligibility doesn’t mean anything. The chances he goes maybe jump from 0% to 5% and even that’s probably too high. There’s an off chance someone guarantees he’s a first round pick but given that I don’t think he’s even in a top 75 list it would be...

Adding Boswell is objectively a net positive. I still think the 5/5 rule would hurt our teams chances next year just because of the strength it would add to other teams.

All I know is if they pass 5/5, the chaos we’re going to see will make NIL/transfer portals of yesterday look like nothing. Grad transfers aren’t required to enter the portal right? That means most seniors could move freely whenever after it passes. And it’ll be after most teams have exhausted...

This offseason (except for Duke) has shown being a blue blood is almost inconsequential. If your school has a good coach and a load of resources you have a chance at anything. The historical benefit of being a blue blood has very few ramifications on recruitments today.

Mara is gone gone IMO. Would be foolish to stay. I’ve long thought Morez gives it another go. People forget Yaxel was (admittedly not exactly as highly ranked) a projected first rounder last year. Guys like Hugh and Mullins returning is actually much more in line with how I think Morez is...

Yeah I think some wires got crossed along the way regarding both Andrej and Blackwell. I don’t think from start to finish it was an either or conversation, but it sounds like both sides soured a bit after we officially got the gang back. Which we should all know isn’t a certainty. And I...

I’d still like to see a big added. I feel pretty good about our backcourt and wing depth. I just don’t know where the Ben minutes go and I think it’s risky to rely solely on Morillo and Z to back up Mirk.

Kinda feels like UCLA but that’s my opinion.

Not many better out there at keeping their mouth closed until they have solid intel so this isn’t by any means an attack against Werner but we’ve been on the other side of this coin (I.e. having guys locked up silently and losing them). I’ll still hold out hope for Blackwell, but I understand...

I get it, but man this team is already perhaps the most proven we’ve had preseason since 05.

Good enough for me, thanks for the info!

I’m surprised we have no interest in a true backup for Mirk. I can appreciate/want more Z/Tomi lineups but Ben played 22 a game. And I know the staff loves Davis and we’ve got Jakstys, but man that feels like a decent chunk of pressure on either some small ball lineups or very unproven and...

I assume it’s because of this:
