I like you man but he’s out a while and that’s just not good. Idk why we brush things off so quickly sometimes. We need to build chemistry

Does anybody here know anything about Dawson Garcia being injured? He was seen in a walking boot. Hopefully it’s just precautionary

Looks pretty accurate. My worry was that we don’t have a true 2nd option, but with the Cochran addition we seem to have a nice collection of guys who might not be good enough to be a #2, but are overqualified 3rd and 4th options and a much deeper bench than in previous years.

Asuma is rated about the same as Christie was coming out of high school. Everyone knew Christie would be a good player eventually but nobody was on here last July talking about him before an NBA draft pick after 1 year. I hear you on Payne and JOJ, they had high expectations going into last...

This is hindsight bias, unless of course in July of last year you were expecting Hawkins to lead the country in assists and for Christie to be a 1 & done type player. On paper this years team is better right now than that team was at this point last year, which is the spirit of the question...

Top to bottom it is. First 3 years he probably had more high end talent (Willis & Battle, Battle & Garcia, Garcia & Christie) but less of a bench overall. He didn’t light any scholarships on fire this year though like he has in previous years, hopefully someone can emerge as a legitimate #2...

This addition of Cochran gives us another legitimate closing option at the end of close games. Tough to close games that come down to the last few possessions with multiple 55%> FTs shooters on the floor (Femi & F. Mitchell, Fox, or Edmonds)

Femi is a physical guard/wing too. Not that that it's a good thing cause he was a 50% FT shooter last year but he got to the line 137 times as well. Ben seems to have put a big emphasis on more guys who can create rim pressure this offseason.

We really bullied Ben into using the last scholly, well done fellas. No but in all seriousness this looks like a really nice pickup this late in the offseason. Wish he was a little bit taller but I can’t complain. 14 & 6 and was MAC defensive player of the year last season. He’ll instantly be...

Not the big wing we need but definitely would be a welcomed addition rather than not using the scholly @Sane24

My point is that it’s not surprising a 40% 3 point shooter who averaged 10/3/3 in the B1G conference would get looks elsewhere. 40% from 3 on 5 attempts per game qualifies as a high level shooter in the NBA let alone college basketball. And other programs might appreciate that more than some...

I’d bet on Williams not even cracking the rotation. He’s probably the 11th guy on the depth chart right now. Allen-Eikens isn’t even on the team yet and Rigbsy/Patterson still need to prove it as they were both pretty bad shooters before last season. The lack of jump shooting on this team is...

I never said he is an elite player btw. I said he’s an elite shooter and floor spacer and is extremely valuable to this team because of his ability to shoot the basketball. Without him Garcia would be doubled on every single touch because nobody else on this team outside of Mitchell Jr is a...

Not a lot of volume? Sir, he attempted the 12th most 3s in the conference last year on a per game basis while shooting a high percentage.

I tend to agree with the first part. I don’t think he has the skill set to be a 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd option on a good team but he is still very valuable as a shooter, might be the best pure shooter in the conference. Good teams always have a sniper like him. I bet Garcia loves having an elite...

Not sure why folks think Mitchell Jr wouldn’t be coveted. He’s an elite 3 point shooter that can also be a secondary ball handler. I’m not necessarily Ben’s biggest fan but I promise it is okay to give him some credit for some of the guys he’s brought in.

Well I think he’s technically exhausted all of his eligibility but he had a couple seasons cut short. Not sure what for or how likely it is, I just know in his twitter announcement entering the portal a couple weeks ago he said he will be seeking a medical hardship waiver for the 2021-2022...

I agree. Provides great size and experience on the perimeter, he raises the ceiling of this team exponentially. Could be a bonafide sidekick to Garcia that can score from all 3 levels of the floor

Not sure what you define as a superstar but DeSean Eikens averaged 19/5/3 and was 2nd team all league. Could instantly be our 2nd best player behind Garcia and supposedly we are after him, sounds like he might be waiting for a medical waiver to play this year though

I can’t imagine a sophomore who’s played 7 total minutes of college basketball all of which in garbage time would get put on scholarship over a 5th year senior with experience, but I suppose it’s possible
