How'd AJ do?
nice, do we know what the talent level is of the opponent?
Great for AJ either way

AJ is too much of a gym rat to not get some results in-game. I can't wait to see the rest of his career.
Other sports you can give 1/2 scholarship or 1/8 scholarship. I dont know any rule say you cant do the same in basketball.

Football and basketball aren't permitted to split scholarships, unlike other sports (where it's an ultra common practice).
Semi pro teams. Division 2 in the pro leagues over there. Most of the teams with former American college players so it's pretty decent.

Great news!
Looks like AJ is showing out pretty well in Europe! Really looking forward to seeing him on the court this winter

Seems like a pretty good schedule. What is the take on the staff's RPI management? Seems like SE Missouri St and McKendree could weigh down the RPI quite a bit. Or is McKendree not even Division 1 and will be excluded?

Mckendree is a d2 school so it doesnt effect the RPI at all. Which is better than having bad rpi teams on the schedule. We get no credit for it at all. Basically just a free tune up.

Should be 5-0 heading into the brutal stretch of West Virgina, Temple/FSU, NC State, VCU.
Which means 1 warmup game for Black before we head to NYC.
I'd really love to see this line up on the floor at some point
1-Malcolm
2-AJ
3-DJ/Kipper
4-Kipper/DJ
5-Finke
I am a huge proponent of small ball, but this is kind of an inverse lineup with taller longer guards and shorter, potentially stretch bigs. Perimeter D could be insane with the length and improved athleticism (thanks fletch). Offensively: shooting, slashing, scoring. This also assumes sophomore leaps, obv.
Thanks Rob.
I like that, but I want JCL on the court as many minutes as possible.

And Thorne to clean up the glass.

You are correct about JCL and I agree. I meant to put this as a second string, bench mob type group. I'd love to see Malcolm in the midpost with a point guard on him.
