I agree that it's rare but Zach Collins from Gonzaga didn't start a single game the past season and will be drafted first round in a couple weeks.

Boothe stepped down as coach at Manual and replaced by Willie Coleman. I have no information to believe that was the reason for Miller to transfer, but that would seem to be a possibility.

There was substantial talk around here that Miller and especially his parents did not like Booth. And since his wife is a prominent (or at least she likes to think so) State Representative that he wasn't going anywhere.

Not a thing has been said about Coleman yet....

Wasn't there this kid who claimed God told him to stop his education and enter the draft against the advice of, like, everybody? What ever came of him? I feel like that was a thing last season.

Probably a good decision not to film that during the day. If I were scouting this kid, my only question (aside from the obvious growth plate query) would be to find out what cell phone he has. That's some mad battery life there.

He idea of him not starting on next year's Missouri team ahead of the Porter's being a knock against him is silly. Both will be playing in the NBA with Michael probably going #1 overall if he lives up to the hype. Tilmon will have more than enough minutes this upcoming season to prove whether or not he's a one and done caliber of player.

Cool. I never said he was. I was just pointing out the fact that him not starting at Mizzou isn't going to hinder his chance to prove that he's a one and done if that's what his ultimate goal is. I would even go as far as to say he's in a better position at Mizzou even though he's not starting. BU's offensive system has been very successful at every stop so far but it's hardly big friendly or big man centered.

Do we know this for sure ? or are we going back to the well look at his 2 years at SFA and year at OSU, where he hasn't had a Great Big man yet. I would have to think if we would get the top rated center that the offence would be made to be very center friendly. Could we at least give BU a couple years here to recruit, before we say we are sure of how this offence is going to run. Cause the talent he had at SFA I sure hope is well below the level of talent he has here

I asked this in the coaching thread, when it was discussed that McDermott was offered the job, but now that tOSU has hired Holtmann, I will ask again.


What happens to the recruits that he recruited at Butler, if they are already on campus/enrolled in summer classes. Since some of our recruits are already here, I would assume that it would be similar at other schools. If those kids are unable to transfer without penalty, that is really unfortunate for the recruits!

Team #120 arrives in 2 weeks!An important summer!

If I'm reading this tweet correctly (this tweet has Butler fans really ticked off btw) the players weren't scheduled to arrive for 2 weeks which would put them more in a Jeremiah Tilmon/Javon Pickett category than a Kipper Nichols category.

Don't know that for sure but that's how I would read it.
