Clearly, or BH wouldn't have had so many minutes.

I have a question about context of the origins of this… I know Deron said it about IDKWTI snubbing us, but was he being honest that he didn’t know him and what happened? Or was he fully aware of the situation and refusing to acknowledge him… basketball recruiting and the internet didn’t have the same reach then it does now so I’m just curious

Anyone else here passing on Dix?

I'll never understand paying him anything close to his rumored price tag and not just do everything to keep Morez. Dain and Amani didn't get a good shake here IMO (particularly the former when he gave resistance against Edey vs. watching Edey plant Coleman in the 5th row every back down) but neither hold a candle to what Morez can bring.

Just a massive massive mistake by the staff here IMO. I never want to hear "Brad caters his offensive system to his talent" again. You let IMO a future potential college all-American walk. 18-19 255 lb physical freaks with endless motors don't grow in trees.

I get in the minority but I have more questions about Boswell being a (good) full time PG than I do about Morez's future. 🤷‍♂️

We need some upgrades in toughness on the court. Does anyone know if Dix plays soft like some our guys last season or does he tend to go hard in the paint every night?

I don't bash or glaze anyone that leaves. It is what it is. Kofi Cockburn wanted to pass up NIL to go get cut from the NBA and play in the Japanese B League, I don't need to be the guy posting "thank u King" but I'm not gonna cry about it either. They can do what they want and so be it.

Josh Dix is a career 51/42/80 shooter, and has already proved it at the B1G level. And he’s 6”6. You take that

Would we kick the tires again on Mahaney? Would love him as a backup, but I would be surprised if he doesn’t go somewhere where he will start day 1.

I think you make some valid points--is he worth it? Solid FT shooter and 42% from three are good things.

Can he create his own shot? I still feel they need someone who can drive, create and score at the basket.

How is he defensively?

In the end, if he plays hard, rebounds, hits his FTs, makes 40% of this 3-pointers and can "booty ball" his opponent, then I am good with that.

Is Ament or Sarr committing first? There were talks Nate would commit today at McD AA but he said he's got no interest announcing now or the next few days.

I'm fairly certain BU and everyone here wanted to keep Morez and had a deal in place to do so...Either way go find a site whose portal rankings list Morez above Dix.
