I didn't think I needed a "/s" tag on my post but maybe I did?

He has a rough start but has been playing well for a while now. And he learned how to shoot. Michigan's problem is that is surrounding cast has been far worse than advertised, but some are starting to put it together. I hope they don't make the tournament because there's a chance they could go on a run and be a media darling.

I saw that movie in the theater and it sucked.

Yes, when you have that much talent, it's possible to go on a run at any time.

Hawkins has great leaps, great size and excellent ball handling skills. He needs to develop his offensive game to either drive to the hoop or catch and shoot the three. I think he could replace Grandison at the 4 next year but he has to provide more offensive and cutout the ticky tack fouls.

Maybe he could develop the high low post game with Dain next year.
I was on the Cohawk train early....lately not so much....he is not an excellent ball handler...upfakes almost every possession...reaches rather move his feet....also he honestly acts like he has never fouled anyone. Agree with a previous poster...he needs a go to move.

Also, look at these NIL projections they have listed for every person. Really feel like that rating service is grasping at straws. They've got 2 UCLA recruits rated 3 spots apart and think that one is going to make $392k and the other will make $18k. And the second guy is Adem Bona...the name alone has got to be worth some sweet endorsements!

Maybe I'm missing something Joel G, but on that website's list of top 100, all 3 Illini commits are on the list (Harris squeaks in at 100). The linked article just doesn't list them as new to the top-150 or as 'big movers.' 🤷‍♂️
They're on the top 150 but outside the top 100.

:ROFLMAO: especially in SoCal

Re: the NIL projections, I'm guessing it's based solely on social media accounts. Amari Bailey has over 500K Instagram followers.

I know Epps and Boswell are considered above average outside shooters, but so is Podz and he has a year of Div 1 under his belt. I don't think it's a sure bet that any freshman is going to take him out. Besides, he plays good defense. I guess I'm just saying I wouldn't underestimate him. RJ sat and watched the whole year until the last few games. We have no idea how Podz is going to be utilized the rest of the season.
I agree with you. Ames is also lethal from distance. As for Podz, I believe he is all of 6-5. I base this on observing him standing next to RJ and Luke when they're standing together during timeouts. I'd just like to see him play. How mentally tough is he? Etc. Etc.

Dumb question, probably, but is our roster posted anywhere on the board? I'd like to google around for some video on our transfer from Baylor; wouldn't even attempt to spell his name. Thanks in advance.

Joel Goodson

ties will be resolved
Don't forget his handles. This video really showcases his skills as a ball handler in the halfcourt and they are pretty impressive. Very in control.
I've been trumpeting his handles for months. But, yeah, they're impressive.
