I think Lee makes a decent jump
With Lee being from out east and with the addition of Morrillo and possibly Coleman and or two other high level guards then it seems highly likely that Lee and Mihailo may look elsewhere if they want to play. If Jason Jak wants to actually play he may leave to unless he is here primarily for an education. It appears we are elevating and improving skill and athleticism each year when we have more success and money means guys like that will come and others will not see the floor much unless they leave.

This theory confounds me. We have a final 4 team based around under the rim productive guys. As long as they are not a revolving door on the defensive end, I think Brad has shown he can win without uber—athletes
You can have both types of players, and I think that’s what they are looking to do.

You wouldn't have been this nice about it if some clueless homer idiot had the gall to suggest 11 months ago that Jake Davis would wind up starting over Stojakovic in an Elite Eight game.

Predictions are hard, especially about the future.
Great kid, never question his effort, want him to be successful, but with the way we play, we aren’t putting a complete non-shooter in the starting lineup.

If we recruited a transfer with Ty’s stats, people on here would go crazy about his 3 pt shooting….or lack of attempts.

You may be 100% right, I'm not claiming any kind of confidence otherwise.

But remember, there is no doubt that Ty has had opportunities to transfer to places where the system DOES fit his skills, took a redshirt season with an eye toward pursuing them, and then we paid up to keep him.

Why would we do that if we don't foresee a significant role for him?

And as it pertains to starting, Jake Davis starts despite being our 7th leading minutes getter and 8th leading scorer. Sometimes it's just about structuring the minutes across a game.

Has it been confirmed who is visiting today? Just saw Brad on the Rich Eisen Show and he mentioned we had a recruit here currently.

Love Ty … No one wants that kid back on the court more than me but he hasn’t played competitive HM basketball in 2 years …

He ain’t starting on next years
Has he been practicing?
