Another nice momentum piece for Niko. I'm optimistic and hopeful but slowed by the soft non conference schedule to date and was anticipating at least one more potential higher upside reclamation project on the roster...ideally a "big". But it is June...a little early to know where things...

Lots of raw potential!!! Really quick, nimble and athletic for somebody sooo long. Runs very well. Catches better than Rudy by a lot! Very similar game to Rudy. And coincidentally both from France. Right now Joan has trouble from the free throw line....important to get better there to avoid...

Figured with a different emphasis... Duke has 7 Top 40 teams on their schedule and Purdue has 5....cupcakes are cupcakes and anything about 230 to 351 is likely a cupcake? or no?

3 more recent random wtf games... 2015 Michigan painful 2021 Bowling Green home loss - we are 1 and 2 to these guys in home games - maybe unforgivable? 2024 Penn St ... no way we should lose the game as it played out - really disappointing

"It's not the plane, it's the pilot." Maverick has no glass ceiling.

Interesting question...coaching basketball, say you have one very talented player who is a gifted passer and an elite scorer. It doesn't take long before you have no choice but to make your "star" a ball hog. It gets very frustrating if the others can't catch .... turnovers will get you beat...

Matt Norlander CBS in April: Lots of interesting tangents and questions to NIL...here's one: Richard Pitino had JT Toppin as a freshman at New Mexico. He had Donovan Dent who was reportedlt offered $3 million by Kentucky but signed with UCLA for more money. Then Richard had Tonje for a...

Enjoyable read...

Living up to my scouting report by some...I'll say... I don't think it'll work :) It takes a LOT of practice time to teach that 6th guy to be invisible. Maybe, mght be something here for home games? Basketball Experiment

Best Available. The top 40 guys still available in the portal according to the same writer in the post above. This was posted two days ago.

"but Medved is hoping to turn things around after doing more with less at Colorado State. In seven seasons with the Rams, Medved went 143-85, reached the Big Dance three times and won a March Madness game the past two years." Let's hope the trend continues!

I agree you start 5, trust 7 and play 9 or 10 ideally. However, the idea that guys are going to be unhappy not playing is a losers reason to not recruit 15 guys who can compete for a spot. It's coaching...explain the philosophy going in, give them opportunity, talking to them one on one with...

I guess you are more confident than I am we are all set with out top 10 guys. Doesn't seem like a reach to me that our late addition from Europe or anywhere else with DI experience and maybe injuries or other misfortune could be added and climb into the starting lineup. (Tyson for...

So many factors...situations are different...Ben had just open unused scholarships. We had two much higher rated committed freshmen we did not try too hard to keep. There are lots of guys available to be added....these two guys are inexpensive I'm guessing but are unlikely to play....I truly...

Practice players on scholarship by rule.

So it comes to this...we call every coach of every player in the portal, we strikeout. We travel to Europe and birddog every gym and every agent in every country, but we strikeout. We watch all the D2 all conference players...we determine there are no Duncan Robinson's and give up there. We...

If Malone becomes the Knicks coach and Saunders does not become an assistant coach for him...then it's story. Otherwise not so much. He will resurface somewhere as an assistant or Minnesota D3 coach.

At least be good at it... Wisconsin 2023 7 and 6 2024 5 and 7

You might be right...Vegas has them lower than I would. I think Iowa finishes top third of the conference. Vegas Purdue 1000 Michigan 1600 Michigan St 3300 UCLA 4000 Illinois 5000 Wisconsin 5000 Indiana 5000 Oregon 6000 Iowa 6000 Ohio St 6600 Maryland 10000 USC 12500 Washington 15000 Nebraska...

Duke's non-conference slate so far...just to bump the thread a bit.
