Looks great. He should be proud of his progress.

I am so incredibly proud of Sencire. Not just for staying with the team, but also because he has so clearly put in the work on his overall game this past year. It's easy for a player that has obvious strengths to lean into specializing. It's rarer to see a player aggressively attack their weaknesses instead of just playing to their strengths. Sencire may never become an outstanding offensive player but, with his attitude and approach toward development and hard work, I am excited to follow his progression.

If 🦌 could consistently finish at the rim, he’d be a kid you play 25+ minutes with the way he impacts things on defense.

Id pump the breaks on that and see who we add. He can certainly play a role but we need to see our roster construction and add some shooters to play with guys that play D and at the rim. Ty, Morez Buck , and even Amani have to prove they can score from outside consistently or someone else will get a lot of tick. Can't play 3 guys that struggle to shoot exstentsive minutes together. These transfers are gonna be able to shoot and play starters minutes.

I love the fact that Harris knows BU is bringing in highly skilled and proven players... and yet doesn't waiver on his commitment. Seems like he believes that he belongs with that group!!

Harris is one of if not the best on the ball defenders in the country. He’s going to get a lot of PT just based off that. Brad has shown they it don’t matter how good you are offensively your not playing if you can’t play defense.

Gimme a Domask and Coleman return. Add Storr, a pg, and a center and lets get a championship.

Transfer pg, Storr, Domask, Coleman, Transfer 5.

Bench mob: Ty, Goode, DGL, Harris, Morez, Amani, Davis

Maybe not enough minutes to go around because they would be 12 deep with guys that I think could make an impact.

I'll take another too!

The eternal optimism of spring, after we lose a committed player.

3 minutes of game film cut from about 1,500 minutes of film recorded and Butler, who we've been pumping up all year long as someone who would be a major contributor and a stud... wasn't worth it anyway and Sencire is resembling our currently exiting 2nd team All American.

Never change Loyalty. Never change.

I don't think many were predicting Butler would be a major contributor as a Freshman.

Gotta believe buck makes a leap and becomes a contributor on next years team. Great thing is the program has advanced from relying on a kid like buck to be a starter to a kid like buck becoming a 20-25 min energy guy.

I think I have figured out the tweet of Shaq.

Shaq was a Laker whose kid played and transferred.
Lebron is a Laker with a kid transferring.
Sincere is from the Lebron's high school.
Sincere stays.
Bronny James to Illinois confirmed.
Jase knew he had no chance for minutes when up against Bronny.

A very large /s

Damage control from the staff more than anything else.

Go back and read what Brad Underwood and Chester Frazier said about the kid when he signed. Pretty sure they didn't use the word "soft".

Stay closer to home. Make more money than at Illinois. Get on the court earlier. Aren't those legitimate reasons for making a decision about your own life?

All good points, but I don't think BU or CF have ever or would ever signed a guy and call them soft upon signing.

Great news! The staff is surprised, but happy. He's willing to fight for a role and that's what it is all about. I still expect at least one more guy to leave

There is one guard who will be leaving. It’s pretty easy guess. But he’s got a free ride and he might not get another one.
