He said at the end of the video he had his last final the day before so classes are done for the semester. I would guess some of the practice/lifting/recovery schedule would be different during class times.

Terrance coming in at #5. Don't look at number 10 or number 2.
Edey confirmation comfortably sitting at#1. No surprise there.

Where in the hell have you seen TSJ with a mid range game??? He’s either shooting a three or driving to the basket. There is no in between and he still can’t handle the ball with his right hand. Even when he goes to the right side of the basket he still puts it up with his left instead of his right
#2 Dick 31.3 MPG, 19.4 PPG, 12.6 RPG, 1.9 APG, 1.3 BPG, 1.3 SPG, 58% 3PT
#10 Ray J 28.4 MPG, 14.2 PPG, 6.6 APG, 4.0 RPG, 1.4 SPG, 44% 3PT
Wow.

Nice ride. Clearly getting some NIL money.
Also they said he didn't make all big ten? Not the best research
Yeah, when that happened, it didn't look like a 4 to 6 week thing. The team is just now starting to come nicely together and guys are figuring out their roles. With all due respect to Nico, with the conference season going into full effect in two weeks.....if he's still in a boot at that time, redshirt him(if they can). He had a nice game against lesser competition, but, to me, the roles have been defined.
Redshirts are a weird thing is this era. Everyone is on a one year at a time contract.
He was never going to play much. He had several good minutes against a really bad opponent. Even Coleman looks like a NBA Allstars against Quad4 teams. Enough. We have our 8 or 9 player. My goodness Dainja got 4 minutes against Tennessee, explain that one. Nicco may have his time in 2 years.
You can't compare turn overs per game because each player has different usage. TOV% is a better metric. So lets look at that.In 6 games played this year, Coleman has 12 turnovers - 2.0 per game.
Just for fun, I thought I’d compare some fan favorites in their final years…
3.32 Ayo
2.85 Dee
2.79 Deron
2.33 TSJ (so far)
OK, that was fun! Now, let us carry on with the mantra that CoHawk is a turnover machine…
As you can see CH is much worse than all of those players except Deron with only a marginal difference.

He has already used a redshirt year. Not sure he'd want another.

^ One thing we can all agree on by digging up all of these numbers?
TSJ is even more of a beast than I think even our biggest homers realize! What a Godsend for this program right as Kofi/Trent/Da'Monte/etc. moved on!

If he’s not going to play, he’d be wise to take the option of a medical redshirt. Granted, the option of “playing overseas” is a lot less daunting for a kid who is playing overseas while he is in college. Going pro in Europe would be a homecoming for him.
Redshirt would just give him more options down the line. Guess we will have to wait and see what the doctors think is feasible. Even when the fracture heals, it’s going to take some time to get his conditioning back.

As of December 16, we are one of only 10 teams in the KenPom top 25 for both offensive and defensive efficiency.
If offered that before the season started, I would have taken that deal.
Recent trend has been our friend on the offensive side of the ball, and the defense has been in the top 20 all season so far.
Let's keep getting better. Onward and upward...

To me, the big difference (besides DMFW being an unassailable legend), is that Damonte was clearly the 5th option offensively when he was on the floor. I think Coleman has been at his best this year when he has dominated on defense and been an “only if he’s wide open” option on offense. Further, I think the frustration stems from the fact that this does not align with expectations (that he would be 2nd or 3rd option offensively) people had for this season.
This is interesting. When I watch the games when Dain is on the floor it looks at times like he is out of position, over commits, and allows easy baskets at the rim. So this all jives with the data above. However when I look at the numbers on sports-reference.com, something different shows up.

In the advanced metrics Dain's DRtg, DBPM are both better than Coleman's. As well as BPM. smh. I'm not sure how to reconcile these differences. Anyway.
Looking at the stats per 40 minutes played or 100 possessions really drops Hawkins toward the bottom. A lot of his numbers look good because he plays so many minutes.This is interesting.

Hawkins offensive rating is only ahead of walkons, dead last among scholarship players.
He's an Illini, so I am all for big things for him.
