That could be said for quite a few people on this board. The amount of novels I skim or just skip over...
His game reminds me a bit of Hunter Dickinson with more upside…and minus the punchable face.
How big a possibility is it that we leave a scholarship open? Not really a fan of doing that (it's kinda like a wasted opportunity) but Brad's not against it to say the least.

Probably pretty big considering we've done it the last few seasons.
Yeah at a glance, this year it looks like he’s shot a bit over 40% from 3 at a bit over 1.5 attempts per game or so, and also over 80% from the line, which you love to see in a big.
I know there is some risk in how a player will translate to the ncaa, but I’m all for taking a shot with the upside there.
Back in the day when you could fill the spot with Lucas Johnson or Kevin Turner and watch the blossom it was a lost opportunity.
Now they just transfer from that spot . If you're lucky their family doesn't trash you.
I was wondering the same thing. Why would they not like U of I? Never mind. Already answered.

Why not? We need quality more than we need quantity. We rarely play more than 8-9 guys anyway (6-7 later in the year). As of now, we have 9 players. IMO if we add a quality SG and a quality C, we're in great shape. Spend money on quality guys. If we want a 12th and 13th guy (for practice purposes), give the rides to walk-ons, but don't waste NIL money on those spots.
Reservations for the 12-13 guys should not be priority in any type of way over the "quality guys." Agree with that. But if we have an option at those spots, and if those options could possibly prove valuable, and if taking those options doesn't do bad in any way, why not take it?

Omier over Coleman makes no sense but...oh well...doesn't matter at the end of the day...
Regarding Ivisic- here’s an interesting article from when Kentucky brought over his brother, the very bottom has the commentary about eligibility, apparently the brothers were taking online classes and only getting reimbursement for expenses while others on the team are pros
Obviously OA went through this process for his brother, so he knows the drill and wouldn’t be pursuing this if it wasn’t an option

What is Kentucky getting in 7-foot-2 Croatian center Zvonimir Ivisic?
The Wildcats added the intriguing big man this week. Here's a detailed breakdown of his strengths and weaknesses.

Does anyone think that BU may give DGL a shot at SG? I mean, it seems as if DGL is sticking around for some reason, no?

Not going to lie. I don't like seeing this. Even though I feel he comes back, I still hate it. The others, I can deal with. Just tough to think of him playing for someone else in CBB.
we arent in play for any of these guys rn. it makes no sense to me putting all our chips into European players. I got trust in brad and we added good pieces, but how much scoring came from TSJ domask and hawkins? we need to add an alpha who can get buckets. big 10 is stacked this year
Good find. If he hasn't signed any new contract since last summer (or hasn't received any "non-essential" compensation) then he should be eligible and hopefully the process is relatively quick with the precedent with his brother.Regarding Ivisic- here’s an interesting article from when Kentucky brought over his brother, the very bottom has the commentary about eligibility, apparently the brothers were taking online classes and only getting reimbursement for expenses while others on the team are pros

Sure. Why not? He's more of a SG than a PG anyway.
But we need more than 2 guards on the team. Right now we have DGL and Boswell and that's it.
Novels are the most insightful, I love them.
Think Hummer is a closer replacement to Marcus then anyone we have so far to replace TJ or Hawk. Jake can replace Luke and other transfers superior to last year’s players. Believe Tre is being underestimated but need a big defender. Really not worried about scoring but have no idea about defense. Kylan, Ty, Tre, and Ben pretty solid four but not convinced Morez or Booth can fill the fifth.
