Outside of the top few players, I couldn't tell you who is successful once they leave college and get into the NBA. I much prefer the college game.

Not sure if its been posted here but this was an enlightening article by Kedric on the Dosunmu family's decision making process which should perhaps assuage some fears...

I always had trouble deciding who I preferred between Nolley and THT.
My fear with Nolley was that I always got a diva vibe. I think he wants to have fun and dance and score, my fear was does he have any interest in playing defense.
Nolley is a bit taller and shoots a bit better which are big on his side, but I think THT is the all around better player because of all the skills he brings to the table.

Sounds to me as if we just got 3 new recruiters, and these 3 may end up having as much clout getting Chicagoans to stay home and play as anyone.
He probably went to the wrong school. Doesn't Buzz Williams have a rep for being more hard a$$ed than BU?
There was a time when a lot of people here were hyping Valtonen as our best option. The way I saw it then was this (and I still believe it now):
#1. THT -- his all-around game separates him from the pack. It's great to have a pure shooter, but players like THT are rare. He's a mini Draymond Green.
#2. Nolley -- great shooter and athlete. Better shooter than THT, but lacks that all-around game.
#3. Valtonen

"The Dosunmus are about winning; if you’re ready to join us and win, the doors are open."
Only problem is his shooting was not good all summer.After we land our mini draymond, I think our staff may still try to find a way to get their shooter. They have one right in their own backyard who just may be the perfect fit & mold to plug into this scheme with the current cast of players that's being assembled..
No inside info or anything on that, just using logics.

VIBES.
Thank you Demon Deacons
Assuming we get Ayo and THT.I'm not personally worried about Tim's shooting.
I'm confident that it will return.
College coaching will get him back to dead eye status.

Sorry, I didn't meant "only" one, just directing it towards his podcasts.
But I still haven't seen any other reports with direct quotes or solid evidence.
