Tied with Gonzaga in ADJOE next year, and only behind UK, UCLA, and Zona? Yes, please. A thousand times yes.

Points projection of Hawk with 11.9 and RJ with 11. If Hawk scores like projected here we will be really tough. Believe Dain going to get more than 1.9 even if he only plays 10-11 minutes. Reinforces Ty fans with 8.2 and fifth highest scorer.

I agree that Goode seems to be overlooked on potential. I'm not sure what to expect, but I thought I heard on a radio broadcast that Underwood predicted him to be a 1,500 point scorer at Illinois. That seems optimistic and not positive it is accurate. Has anyone else heard this as an Underwood quote?
That was like 7th or 8th grade? I am not sure if he mentioned the exact time.
Adding TSJ shoots us up to #2...
Murray somehow drops us to #7
Ramey also shoots us up to #2
But for some reason, when I try to add Adam Miller, it doesn't work

We’re gonna end up as a 2-seed in a bracket with San Diego State as an under-seeded 7-seed, aren’t we? AREN’T WE?!

2 kids that have a ton of upside. Luke may have more pro potential than most think and I have always been high on RJ. Luke can definitely shoot, guard, and switch off on bigs on pick & rolls. 2023 is going to be fun again. We are starting to have a roster that rivals the current blue blood, and Underwood is not afraid to change his style of play. Just think if we had this roster and played the D that Underwood brought in year 1. No one would want to play us
If Kofi comes back next year due to NIL, is it insane to believe he wouldn't do so his optional Covid year. Part of me would hate to see it for his sake, but he'd set a record for double doubles that could never be broken. Four time All-American? Rest of the B1G would probably chip in to pay an NBA team to draft him to make sure he is gone.
TSJ....or Murray....
Wasted inches...can we get a picture of Cohawk and Payne before he transfers....got to find out who is taller...
Is RJ on a slant?
Kofis body fat is darn low. He is just a big dude. I don't think he can lose 20lbs unless he loses muscle mass or quits lifting. I don't see that happening. He isn't chunky like Dain.
10 lbs. would still go a long way....I thought he looked a few times....like he was winded/hurting/laboring, later in the season.
He may have been. He is a big man but still he is very lean and not sure how much he can lose. He actually be did cut weight to get to 285. He may be able to improve his conditioning but I don't think it will be due to losing weight. He already cut 15 lbs and I saw him with his shirt off. He is very cut and very lean even at 285.

Is this video before the ACL injury or post-injury?
To start the year Goode (experience counts)
I don't know, but would think that given no knee brace/wrap of any kind, it is almost certainly pre-injury.
I'm a bit slow on the uptake (ask my wife), but it just dawned on me that Skyy's shout outs to Fletch during the commitment video likely have to do with conversations they've had on working to get that knee back to 100%. I tend to think of him as the man who gets our team looking the way they do on the floor, but his role in injury prevention and recovery is critical as well.
I thought that too, until I watched some of Epps video's. Wow! Sky & Epps- Unbelievable!
So I’m curious, how did T-rank projections for last year pan out compared to how season actually went?

T rank wouldn't take injuries, suspension, and illnesses into account. Therefore, tough to say.
