If Ty leaves is DJ Wagner too much of an ask for a replacement? I’m sure he wouldn’t want to come here for 10ish minutes off the bench.

DJ Wagner:
Grandson of Milt Wagner (NBAer, of Camden, NJ and Louisiville Natty fame)? No way DJ is accepting 10 min per game! So too much of an ask = yes.

Well, at the end of the day what I have learned is to trust the coaches judgement on players and there ability. The transfer portal record for this coaching staff is clear. 90% of the players they bring in via the portal, lead to improvement in the team.

They have a lot of my trust as well. There are some head scratchers and gambles, but that’s part of the most of Brad’s tenure. I agree that throughout all of the portal turmoil they continue to adapt and come out as successful and able to compete.

Curious if we can improve on the defensive side of the ball. Michigan won the natty with their defense as much as their offense.

yes and no.

It’s probably not fair to Vaaks to come in with the expectation of “replacing” KW — consensus 2nd team AA, for large stretches the favorite for conf POY.

However, he will be replacing his “role.” Big lead guard who can score, facilitate, shoot, etc. Very talented skill set.

I just mean “is” to imply that he’s for sure coming here

I am sitting here watching Vaaks videos and I’m getting a little tingly.
