I know we probably don't have the $$$, but since we have players who have played professionally coming back to college... Both Luka and Joker have eligibility left. Just sayin'...

I believe this cat is a real dawg on defense.

For some reason we're always linked with every single small, quick, penetrating, can't shoot PG every offseason and then we never sign any of them.

I'd say I had a feel for what links will actually bear fruit for us, but I thought both Will Riley and Stojakovic were total nonsense, so I'm as clueless as anybody.

Agree with Gritty here and @1m4tr hits the difference. Boz isn't the best shooter (but was a better shooter when he signed with Illinois) but he's a great defender. Thomas is one of the worst P4 guards by defensive metrics.

Boswell was an excellent shooter at Arizona and that was one of the biggest reasons he was so appealing. Claims to the contrary are fake news.

Thomas isn't TERRIBLE (like, for instance, Desmond Claude was when he was a hot topic of discussion) but outside shooting is obviously not a strength of his game.

Tyler has a whole lot of stuff behind his efforts that most of us really haven't seen yet. Maybe some of you who are deep into the game have but the average fan has not gone this deep into the background. He sure looks like the future of basketball. Not thinking he will be a great head coach but what he is doing is what truly might be where it is all going. I guess we will find out.
