The best surprise we've ever had. He ain't surprising anybody anymore.
Can Coleman run the point? I don’t see Blackwell being a point guard on a championship caliber team.
Do not count out Brown. He will be a depth piece that will get floor time.

As for Keaton, we all know about his ability. The thing that really stands out for me is how level-headed and thoughtful he and his parents are.
In an era where you have to deal with hangers on, AAU coaches, weird family members, agents, etc., his family has been a breath of fresh air.
We’ll see you when your jersey goes in the rafters, Keaton. Congratulations!!!!

Does Morez have a younger brother?
I know we’re not going to get one of the top tier guys so I’m not as familiar with the next rung of bigs. This may be a reach but Najai Hines from Seton Hall is the kind of player I’d like to see us get. I know he’s not a perfect player but big, bangs down low, has some athleticism. Someone in that genre. I could be way off on that one though.
Vaaks is way more of a PG than Ty Rodgers.

Prayers up to Big Ten announcers if they've gotta figure out the distinction between the Baltics and the Balkans every game
I mean, I am not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but it seems unlikely EVERYTHING falls our way.
If this winds up being our team, that would be better than anything I can dream up, except for Sydney Sweeney showing up unannounced.

Not enough love? Heck, he's been our next coach in 7 consecutive coaching searches.
Wonder if this team would play D with the same soundness and tenacity we saw emerge in the tournament. KW, Kylan, and Ben -- I mean, say what you will about their individual abilities to guard, but defense is a team effort and they were all key imo.
I feel like Vaaks is almost insurance. I know insiders love Coleman and I do too. But to think he will be Keaton is pretty crazy. Imagine if Keaton wasn’t Keaton we would have been so bad as Petro would have had to be the dude. With Vaaks, Blackwell and Stoj you got guys who have done it.
