Yessir, he's got the physical tools to be an NBA player, just needs to work on some fundamentals to become a great college player.
Well, then he can move on. You can't start promising guys a starting spot.
Cavenaugh. Haven’t seen that one before. And I am Old Testament when it relates to gospel.
It also assumes that they haven't hit their ceiling in current roles. I think all of them have probably graduated or will by mid year, maybe not X and he'd be the one I see maybe having not hit the ceiling. They come back and it averts a complete dumpster fire, but they are gonna need a lot of different backup to produce better results and that means throw the new guys to fire and hope
If only someone could have predicted this … I mean like over and over again for the past 3 months. If there was such a poster, he would certainly be lauded as brilliant! Would he not?
Yes, players threatening to transfer was rumored to be what lead to one coaches retirement.
NIL may turn out to be the savior of college basketball from the erosion of talent to the pros and the unlevel playing field of cheating programs.
NIL will make college basketball much more relevant. Other than diehards, no one gives a shit about college bball. NIL will only help the product going forward.
TJD will get multiple 10-25k endorsement deals this summer. I bet he could make 250+ next year at IU. He is a celebrity.
I hate to say it, but I think JG, considering he has another year and his ability has barely been tapped.
Seems like the consensus is coming around to him being a 2nd round pick somewhere?
It could be that way. The NBA probably likes as they don't have to deal with a dump of players that averaged like 8 pts and they have to buy on potential and be forced to kick a solid veteran off. It also keeps college players that aren't ready in place and stabilizes things in college recruiting. There will be a bottle neck somewhere, and that will probably benefit JR colleges and G-League. I still don't like the portal though, that introduces massive instability. Just my 2 cents, get rid of the portal and NBA get rid of age restrictions, if you are good enough you should be able to go.
I am the opposite I could not give a crap about the NBA or the league as the players call it.
You mean get guys to find out what color they think Vids panties are??? Blogger boy losers.
If anyone on this board would like to give money to any specific player, I will 100% guarantee it all goes to them. I will get them to give said person a shout out, signed T, whatever.
Of the three, I see RT being closest to his ceiling at the present. I could see him improve his perimeter shooting in what should be a wider open offense, but otherwise I think he is near his peak.
Geronimo hands down. Race was tired at the end of the season, although I’m sure that was from so many minutes. Geronimo was peaking.
To benchmark this,
He can make more than $75K just going out and getting a job.
Did you notice the Ball Saving Cheerleader has an NIL deal now?
I would love a transfer or 3 from Murray State or the Peacocks. I think we get a HR scorer in the portal
Agree. But some of that is technique and footwork that can be markedly improved with off-season drills. He has the physical tools to do it.
I would add finishing at the rim in traffic and passing while driving. He can get by just about anyone. Now get more efficient. He still needs to read and react better to the defense adjusting on his drives. If he can add better mid-range shooting he'll have a nice career.
LOl i have not watched a full or even half of an NBA game is probably at least 7 or 8 years. Turned down free NBA tickets multiple times this year.
NBA games have become more fun to watch than most college games, just from a pure basketball standpoint.
What game? He was awful in the NW game. If he guards the 3 we were in big trouble. He almost fouled out.
