And MN needs to be in the position to be right there. No more excuses.
Papa John is sparing no expense.
Louisville has decided to spread the cash around big time to get back to winning. A couple million will go a long ways towards winning.
Fml..... Wash rinse repeat with this fucking staff
$$$$$$$lots$$$$$
I'd rather have TT back.
Don’t shoot the messenger
Ive been led to believe we don't need frontcourt help. We already have too much talent there.
oh boy....
In the top 3 front court duos in the Big Ten next year- that's what was said. Be honest.
With everyone else in the portal we are now deep diving into 2 ppg players... He has a few more years to find his game.. but this is not who we need to putting our energy into... We need capable guards...
I have no clue about him, just posted his HS recruiting profile, as another poster mentioned him. Thus is like 500 piece jigsaw puzzle
and we can’t see the box 
. Trevor Mbakwe 2007-8 Marquette freshman- 1.5ppg
I agree with alot of your commentary.. however we don't need forwards.. this is not upgrading that position... However just maybe this is basically solving the 12th scholarship guy early??? That is if we're going to have 12 scholly players this next yearI have no clue about him, just posted his HS recruiting profile, as another poster mentioned him. Thus is like 500 piece jigsaw puzzle
I hope he has a plan and executes and doesn’t chase what isn’t required- I realize there is a higher probability this won’t work, than it will, but I can always be disappointed later if need be.
Ends there !!!
Thanks.
He was a freshman that played 8 minutes a game. Had some good offers out of HS. Wouldn’t be a big splash add but not terrible either.
Good question. Implication is that likely Ihnen is slotted in somewhere. Two full seasons without playing presents a pretty high risk to rely on significant contribution.
Yes- the best of the 3. I think Ola Joseph if he keeps growing his game and learns to defend- has a shot at being good at that slot. I think we need another 4/5 guy to back up Payne.
its still depressing to me that we had to role out a starting lineup with 3 PF on it.
I see Ola Josep as an undersized 4. Doesn’t shoot well enough to play on the perimeter. Think he can defend the 3 though.
He is developing. He will get better and develop more range. He has a very difficult time right now defending bigger guys at the 4 as you could see painfully in the Wisconsin game. I think that the reality is that he is really about 6-5 not 6-7. Here's a surprising stat- JOJ shot 38% on 3s this year- small sample size only 8/21 but he really grew from day 1 to year end. He has the ability to beat guys off the dribble.... Ideally he plays at the 3
Concur. He doesnt have an offensive game suited for anything except interior muscle work.
Actually if you look at the data in this excellent thread, created by @matt you’ll seeJOJ shot over 50% over the field the whole season and during the last third, was at 50% from 3 -
