70% FT shooter, not much of a rim protector at .3 blocks per game. Has a little bit of range, making 12/33 3PT on the year (36%).

Hah! I remember thinking we maybe cooled on him. He visited in June of 2021, but then he didn't commit to Yale until the day he received an offer in April 2022. Also had offers at some point from Harvard, Penn, and Rice so clearly he is interested in academics. I commented at the time that his...

Danny Wolf from Yale just fouled out. He came here on a visit in 2021. Averaged 14 points/10 rebounds/2.5 assists as a sophomore.

I know everybody hates on the redshirt these days because of the transfer portal. But I wonder if Groves would decide to redshirt to focus on remaking his body. Not sure Ben has the luxury of doing that unfortunately. I just read an article about Will Tschetter redshirting at Michigan and his...

I just looked up his stats...he has shot 335 field goals this year. 327 of those are 3 pointers :oops:

Looks like they play a rotation of 6 guys. Robbie Avila, their 6'10" 240 lb center attempts 4 threes per game, and is 40.5% from 3PT (and 82% FT!). He is also their 2nd leading passer, with 3.8 assists per game. I pulled up a quick highlight reel and didn't see any dunks on it, just lots of...

Fun fact on Kapke -- he has shot more 3's this year (7/16) than 2's (8/14). And has shot FT's well for a big man in a very limited sample, 8/11 (73%).

Sounds like he can drive hard to the basket. Can he play defense? He is 72% from FT which is lower than I would like but better than I thought it might be. He has attempted 254 free throws this year which if he was Division I would rank as the 2nd highest in the nation, behind Zach Edey (299)...

Felt like he could not miss in that mid range game. He is so strong and savvy.

I love watching him play. I really hope he sticks around.

Craig Smith was who I wanted the first time around. I think he and Medved would both be gettable this offseason. Unfortunately I have a sinking feeling that Ben will get a 4th year, even if he ends up with 4 or 5 B10 wins.

I just wanted to say that one block on Kaiser today felt so good to watch (even though he had already been fouled on the floor so it wouldn't have counted). I don't really notice Ihnen out there unless he's airballing (or sometimes making!) a 3. Fox is just always making something happen...

On the flip side, I wonder how dwindling guarantees will affect the low major side of football. How important are these to keeping the lights on at these schools?

That's about where I am as well. Really excited for Hawkins' speed and playmaking. And his ballhandling along with Mitchell and to a lesser extent Carrington, we should have 3 competent guards. Last year all we had was Cooper and he had some glaring flaws that were exacerbated by being the only...

Thanks for the context. I was a casual fan back then and was not aware! As a father of a 2 year old, that makes sense with Mathieu. Different priorities/stressors.

There are myriad ways to look at next year. I am always optimistic things will be better. Nobody needs to apologize for optimism, but claiming that two players with zero college experience will be markedly better than Jamison Battle doesn't add to the discussion. It comes off as crazy unless you...

Serious question, will you stick around next winter and own up to it if Betts/Cam are not 100x better? I think there is some truth to the "addition via subtraction" by not playing a one-dimensional player out of position...but you claiming this sounds like ridiculous hyperbole. Especially when...

Jamison Battle's 4 year progression of PER (player efficiency rating): 13.0 -> 17.4 -> transfer to Minnesota: 18.3 -> 9.4 Comparison with Gabe Kalscheur: 11.9 -> 11.5 -> 9.3 transfer to Iowa State -> 6.0 -> 12.9 Battle was a more important player to our team in his first year here than...

Do you have an idea how coveted Grier was as a JUCO recruit? And what expectations were for him coming in? I was in college then and paid no attention to recruiting so all I remember was him showing up on the team and being way better than I thought a JUCO transfer would be. I found an article...
