I love wins more.
You realize WE are as likely to have someone transfer out mid-year as any other program. Gotta add at least one more player (preferably a PF/C) if you can. I realize a top talent is very unlikely. But we could really use someone that could give us what BBV gave us last year.It just doesn't work like this anymore. You can't keep that many kids happy.
Also, with the new transfer world you have to have a spot open for a mid season wild turkey surprise.
I agree with you Combo mostly. But I believe we didn't play all our options. Melendez, Goode, and even Podz were more than able to give more than spot minutes. For whatever reason Coach chose to not play them. That's what hurt us in the end.
If there are ~100 teams from whom we might want a player, then the odds that one of them transfers out is 100x the odds that we have someone transfer out. Keeping an open scholarship for a mid-year transfer is a very good bet if few other top teams are doing it.
I think it helps if he CAN hit threes, but Coleman made his biggest impact down the stretch last year bringing big man hustle and energy, grabbing rebounds everyone not named Kofi seemed to have a hard time corralling, making the right pass and hitting that occasional big free throw. I don’t think he needs to be a volume three point shooter to be a major asset. Just be a high energy center who runs the floor and brings his all on both ends and we’ll be fine.
BU didn't play them any less than he should have. Podz sucked on defense. Goode and Melendez aren't guards (even though we indulge them by listing as such). There's more than enough evidence that BU will play FR if they are legitimately ready.
To pull big out he will have to shoot much better. Our last game the Cougars left him unguarded as a 4 where he struggled and forced us to play Goode and RJ. I hope Hawk has got up a lot of shots this off season and improves drastically be from three. I think he can.
In no simulation do we win a title and Skyy doesn’t go 1 and done. I wouldn’t even be sad he left, he did what he came here to do. Would be Epps and Rodgers team 2023-2024. That’s my dream scenario
That would be a fantastic reload....copy that....

Were these simulation for the Big10 Title, or a National Title?
Did you look at Joel’s comment I replied to?
I don't think that you can play at two different schools in one season. If Dain had not gotten those 9 minutes at Baylor last year he could have played for us in the second semester. I think.
Didn't see this here anywhere.
There is far less competition for the mid-year transfer since others are not leaving a scholarship open. As such, we can get a higher quality. The mid year transfer also enables them to spend an extra 6 months with Fletch and learning the system. Each of these is a significant advantage IMO. Lesser gains are having an extra 6 months to settle into classes, and more time to bond with the existing team members.
You want reading comprehension and memory across posts?
I doubt this will always be holding true, if even was last time. If we had success this year because of the dynamic you stated, you can bet others will replicate it.
