Notice Indy included Andrej
Rankin is not going to be on the roster … And I don’t believe he would count against the 15 because he’s on football scholarship …
Regardless … He’s not going to be playing basketball … Needs to be with Tank in the winter …
Unless he didn’t know what people were chanting, but Tomi beckoning with his hands while everyone chanted “Andrej” last night during the return announcement has me feeling optimistic fwiw
Expecting more news here soon.

Interesting....
I hope that's his choice, given the exit options he would have at his disposal.
I know better than to suggest that NCAA rules will apply in a way that makes sense, but the overall roster limit is pretty fundamental, otherwise you could be warehousing kids all over the place, and that's no good for anybody.
(Prediction: they will reduce the football roster limit sometime in the coming years to save everybody money and encourage parity)
As far as the Zens talk … If he comes, great … If he doesn’t, great …
If we’re being honest, the kid needs 2 years at least of development and even then … He’s probably not good enough to play here …
Hope he proves me wrong but I just don’t see Big Ten caliber at this point …
But I did hear it’s Utah State or here … Wisco is out …

I need to confirm on the roster status but I do not believe he would count …
Brad sure isn’t counting on him being on the roster … That I can say …
Where do you get 16 as of right now? Even if Andrej comes back which it appears. Still don’t know what Baghemi, Jackstys, Lee, or Rodgers are doing for certainty.
So was Zens visit was non commital? I dont need to check back for that then! Or at least 1 is gone.
Always appreciate your insight.

Within the hour?
Am I crazy to feel like that bench would have a chance to finish .500 in the B1G? Probably crazy... but if Coleman and Morillo live up to their ratings... maybe not.
Blackwell or roll with Coleman/Morillo/Brown
Jakstys was taking a test per Underwood.
Coleman is ELITE … Morillo is likely a 2-3 year guy but has All Big Ten potential …
You’ve got Jake and Z … We know what they can bring …
I mean that’s as talented of a bench as you’re going to find …
I did!Notice Indy included Andrej

Been including him all offseason …
I mean...
That is a ton of talent. Even the end of the bench guys...I legit like Ethan Brown alot. He's gonna need time but I love the way he plays. Would love to have B Lee back as well.
The backup 4/5 is very interesting to me...because as far as actual holes on the roster, a backup 4/5 who can just defend and rebound would be the last piece for me. Mirk is going to be hogging all the minutes, as he should, but an extra few fouls and a guy who is 6'9-6'10 who can be strong in the paint is just icing on the cake.
From Asia?
NO PIVOTING!
