Right. To me it mostly further demonstrates how year-to-year the game is now. They went from 5-13 the year before he started, to the tournament his 1st year, to crashing hard his 2nd, to back in the tournament his 3rd. Nothing at all demonstrating a clear trajectory (in either direction), just...

The 0-18 record was Gates' second year. His first year they went 11-7, made the tournament and beat Utah State in the first round.

In general with guys coming from mid-level and lower jobs, I think it's interesting to try to at least guess at how well-resourced they are *relative to the rest of their league*. For example, I see all the time in the rumor mill about Ryan Odom (and guys who've come from VCU in the past) that...

Dain Dainja owning Ethan Morton. It's like a B1G game already.

Unlike the other rumors, still no Moser on Zagoria's Nova list.

Josh Dix is in the portal today too, he's probably the best of all of them. Freeman seems like he's gonna get a huge bag from a big fish and be relatively disappointing there (sort of Hunter Dickinson-esque).

I think this event had Washington, TCU, Santa Clara, and Colorado State last year. (So amusingly, there's potential for Medved to coach in it two years in a row.) Decent group of two high majors and two solid mid majors - not quite as strong as the ESPN Events was, mostly because Florida is much...

Femi Odukale played in that Pitt-Minnesota game!

My thought was, he was only out there because they wanted to stick with the 4 guards and Garcia lineup but also didn't want Mike Mitchell to get a 5th foul (Williams was subbed in for a defensive possession). But this also did happen.

Caleb Williams sighting.

For sure, Texas Tech is really good. I'm mostly just intrigued by how extreme a Just a Shooter player profile he's stayed throughout his career.

The Houston game was his most impactful game of the season by a lot (unless you want to count him dropping 7 threes against our friends from Bethune Cookman). Most games against major opponents he's been, yeah, playing about 17 minutes, taking maybe 1 or 2 shots at most, and doing little else.
