Yes, if he becomes a better player, then I agree. Seems like a lot of wishcasting to me though. Personally, I see more Matthew Meyer than Terrence Shannon.

You don't expect a true sophomore to get better and mature as a player? It's always mind blowing to me how so many can look at an underclassmen and judge them as if they are a finished product. Almost across the board the one thing that gets better with experience is decision making. Which is exactly what Storr needs to really become elite.

wait, things have changed?

just to be clear, I think Avila is near the caliber of Loyola's excellent big man who killed us

Schertz is going to SLU ...

I think Avila could follow him there but I also think he will test the waters and everyone will be after him ...

We obviously have more of a connection than anyone else with being the state school, Streets, and he is friends with Ty ...

After watching todays game I can only pray all these AS to Illinois rumors are true. Dude is a stud and would instantly replace Terrence as the Alpha.

NCAA is who originally set the rule on the sit out after you transferred once. However, the courts overruled this in the fall and i believe there is an injunction still in place to stop the NCAA from making these players ineligible. This was the case that involved Curbelo and Ace Wolf this season. Once the counts stepped in they were allowed to play. The ruling is still in effect but guess it could be reversed but hasn't.
Injunction was only temporary, and NCAA agreed to allow transfers until May 1st. Anyone, who transfers after May 1st would be subject to the residency rule.

I’m not sure how this affects grad transfers who are transferring a 2nd time. The NCAA rule in question would’ve required grad transfers to sit out a year as well after 2nd transfer, but not sure if the current temporary agreement does.

I want a rim protector too. I love Coleman and wouldn't trade him for any other big man but I'm tired of watching every team dump the ball down low and score what seems like 100% of the time.
Agreed
I do not particularly like running the offense through a 5 but the moose who can get a jump hook, layup, skyhook or baby hook and 20 points a game consistently is an solid advantage.

respect my decision™
depending on the NCAA for anything is shaky, but I sincerely hope they make a decision on Domask's waiver soon

an MD waiver and poaching Storr would chafe a lot of Badger butts. fully understand pissing off fanbases isn't the goal, but it's pretty sweet icing

Storr definitely might improve as a junior, but he also might not. It is not a guarantee. There are too many red flags for me.
