Storr led Wisconsin in points/game scored, started every game and averaged nearly 29 minutes per game. At least superficially, he seems to have been in an excellent position to help prevent his team becoming 'broken' as you say. I am wary of attitude.

Terrence has a truly GREAT attitude, and Marcus, Quincy, Ty, Luke, Dain, Justin and the three freshmen seem really special in this regard as well. Coleman is extremely coachable and takes responsibility for his actions; he is, uh, less positive in the way he interacts with the (blind, knuckle-headed lol) zebras. Preserving this culture is important.

To be fair, you could say the same about TSJ being well positioned to prevent the bad vibes on last year's team.

So which player gets zebra ragging duty next year? Do we have anyone ready to step into this role?

Coach Underwood. It is the Head man's job to battle with the zebras, and the players' job to battle with our opponents onthe schedule. Everyone had a role. That's easy to type: I forgot that insight several times in my ingloriouse (unglorious?) career/

Whatever: ILL ----

We run a nba system and have great player development. He also doesn’t get with Gard. If Brad is comfortable taking him that’s all that matters.

How did Johnny Davis make it to the NBA then, a mere two years ago? Gard WAS running a program that worked, and then FORGOT? Nah. Sumpin' else going, my brother. I mean, fill in the blanks baby. :)

Leland Walker. Go get him. Just saw he’s in the portal and man is he special. One of the best perimeter defenders I’ve seen in person and at the end of the year was shooting lights out from 3 with elite court vision and unselfishness. Only a sophomore and he should be Brad’s number 1 priority

He is not big enough ... I have connections to the kid ... Have absolutely 0 issues with him ... But I don't think he's a Big Ten guard ...

If BU wants Storr im.fine with it but he needs to be coachable and not jack up so many damn 3s.

I want Dain and Hawkins back. With big NIL I don't get why Hawkins won't consider a sure thing.

BU wanted Skyy, and Jayden Epps. It is NOT a science, I think. I get nervous whenever there is even a HINT that team may not be first. Of course, Coach Underwood is gonna do what he gonna do, and I will have to be onboard with it. :)

Some kids just play 4 years ... Get their degree ... And want to move on ...

Not to mention a “down” draft, overall. Also, maybe Coleman could show out with more responsibility with losing Domask and Shannon, but I don’t think so. He’s an amazing complementary player..
Not that he would be a huge advantage to have back..he would..just that he might want to strike while the iron is hot and the draft is down.
