No it means EvErYoNe ElSe.Does "everyone else" mean "EVERYONE ELSE"?
ACC probably. Half the conference is terrible and he’s starting right away no problem.
Does “everyone” include TJ and Coleman, per chance?
I missed that. Is that a thing?

There's also the possibility that we are in on another portal big who might take his minutes. There is a lot more to think about as a college athlete these days.
True, but Dain had flashes in brilliance in his first full season. Would seem like arrow is pointing up

If we do go for a big 5 man, I would love to go for one who can pass. Seems like forever since we’ve had a big guys with good vision. (Not counting CH as a big man)

I trust you, but like…what reason could there be for him to do that?

Lol....
I was thinking it could have something to do with NIL bargaining power. If you say you're coming back, then there's no incentive for donors to sweeten the pot.
The year Giorgi played the 5 he excelled. We could use a similar player next year with Hawkins playing the 4 spot. Hansberry this is your time to shine!
My opinion is that Cohawk and Dain are different players and complimetary. Dain's minutes were cut imho because others coaches dictated play and tempo, etc...they went small and/or forced Dain into passes/situations he couldn't execute.
To me this was a BU problem as much as Dain (if not more).A big failure was opposing coaches to dictate oyr line up without repurcussions.
Think Dain should return and build off this season as long as he is given similiar opportunities.

I beg to differ, have you seen his FTs?
Love me some Sencire but I had to do a double take when I saw the graphic of his FT%. And the number was...very graphic.
22%?? You almost have to try to shoot that badly from the line.
Guard multiple positions (That’s why Dain end up on the bench CH gets to play )
Mid range shooter,possibly a stretch 5 with ability to shoot the 3’s with inside presence and a great rebounder….that is my wish list.
That should be no problem. I can do ALL of that!!
Quick question: will you be needing this skill set against collegiate competition?
Please just let me dream….

He did it this morning. Not sure it means much other than he’s still gotta talk with the coaches yet. It’s not time to hit the panic button.
Don’t think we know if Dain has any range. Made the 10 footers that I remember but we got beat by mid range shots but never seemed to take them. Assume coached not to take them really think it is a mistake as opponents guard the three pt line and the rim. If TJ made some it would really open up the paint. Seemed like it was where Ayo won games.
Not an insider, love the kids energy and D, but he is not a point, not a 2 and not a wing. He is the least import freshman and easiest to replace IMHO. He is the most offensively challenged of our young guys

Just my opinion, but by the time players are college-age one can consistently, differentially coach/teach defense and a system of offense (plays, sets) that gets open looks and maximizes match-ups/advantages... but shooting whether close-range, long-range, free throw or whatever is a knack and skill that coaching can't all of a sudden turn bad to good.
