Wow on Vaaks...expecting Coleman to impressed. He has been developing quickly, just continues to look better at each event.
See Vets being better and more confident

Want to revisit the 'Vaaks is the best offensive player in the portal' hot take 8 months from now
Haggerty holds that honor at the moment, but will be interesting to see how the year plays out (you could maybe even argue Vaaks > Blackwell offensively now, given his size, versatility and playmaking)
Mark Smith was not a point guard
I mean, the odds aren't great, but Q is the highest rated recruit we've had since cell phones were a thing you used once, to call your dad or your lawyer.Let me guess. Q is going be better than Wagler and Lucas Morillo is going to be a borderline starter.
SURELY not good enough to rely on him playing the PG position! SURELY!!!!
Q Doesn't have to be better than Wagler...Vaaks upgrade from Boswell and returnees get better
You could also look at it as Vaaks --> Wagler and Q --> Boswell. Not necessarily in terms of their role, but in comparing "value". So if Vaaks is a step down from Wagler, then either Q or the returnees need to make up the difference (and then some if we want to be better).
