Oh I agree, Cal's academics are above all public institutions outside of Michigan.Maybe JOJ isn't only all about basketball?

Someone was going to have to leave, with all the incoming star power coming in, there weren't going to be enough basketballs.
To the best of my knowledge, the number of free agent signings for Big Ten programs as of 4/20/24:
Illinois (4)
Maryland (4)
USC (4)
Nebraska (3)
Ohio State (3)
Penn State (3)
Rutgers (3)
UCLA (3)
Indiana (2)
Michigan (1)
Gophers (1)
Washington (1)
Iowa (0)
Michigan State (0)
Northwestern (0)
Oregon (0)
Purdue (0)
Wisconsin (0)
Indiana State rock star Robbie Avila expected to announce his transfer destination later this afternoon. Wisconsin reportedly is in the mix.
I love JOJ. But he really needed to grow and wasn’t. @Tucker32 appears correct. You get benched for not doing in practice. It showed in games.Taking bad shots and turning the ball over too much? I'm not sure where you're getting that from. He shot 61% from the field, which was 2nd on the team behind only Parker Fox, and 41% from 3, which was the best on the team. Of the main rotation players, only Fox had fewer TO's per game.
He struggled on D because he's an undersized 4, but when he played 20 minutes per game he always put up double figures in points. He definitely should have had a bigger role as instant offense off the bench than what he did.
You mean May.Nice get by Day. Doing a good job revamping that roster.
No you won't. And neither would BenI swear you guys LOL.
Give me $10M...and I'll be a basketball coaching mastermind.
You mean May.
But what does May have to do with it?
Tubby Smith couldn't win here. We hired him...and then immediately chased away the assistant-coach/recruiter he hired...and then booted-out his 2 best recruits.We didn't want him. We called him and canceled the interview.

He shot great 3s against weak competition - over 50%. Then he started being gaurded - Shot 15%.
JOJ didn’t grow. He did it in spurts, but never took a step up. He needed to learn to Cut, pass, and do other things. Just floating in the corner for a 3 isn’t gonna cut it for the rest of the offense. It’s instant empty offense.
He struggled on D because he didn’t get it. Undersized my ass, he was out of position.
He tried to just always be athletic Josh. It stopped working.
He got some alley oop plays designed for him. However, largely his 2's were off of drives to the basket. When he got the ball, it often ended right there, we was either going to shoot a three or drive. 14 assists all year. With his ability, how does he only have 2.2 rebounds per game? That speaks to a lack of hustle and/or understanding of the game.In the 8 B1G games where he was playing 19+ minutes he shot 4/13 - 31% from 3. In those same games he was 36/59 - 61% from 2. I don't know how that equates to just floating around the 3 point line? He did that by cutting and driving to the paint. It's like you're confusing Ihnen for JOJ.
Something obviously happened behind the scenes to get his minutes cut. But until his minutes were cut seemingly out of nowhere, JOJ was extremely productive offensively on the court, especially in the paint.
With the right coaching JOJ can be a highly productive offensive player off the bench for a P6 program.

Stats and lies. I don’t know the specifics, but I’m guessing that if you measured Fox’s numbers after his health improved and playing time increased, it might reflect a different and more accurate picture of what is than your all season data.And yet he was still their most efficient offensive player. He definitely needs to work on passing and rebounding, but those are things that can improve with age/better coaching.
Parker Fox only averaged 2.9 rebounds per game. Are you also questioning his lack of hustle/understanding of the game?
This is something you would have never seen in the past...it's a new era for sure
Okay the Big Ten has Indiana...maybe Illinois has some money but the SEC...
Jerry is fighting Tyson and Walmart to be THE booster.

Why does he say 'Dusty May' so many times?
Sam Walters (Alabama) to Michigan.
Except, Arkansas is chump change, ash tray money to Jerry. The Cowboys...QB's want $60 plus million a year. Top defenders over $30 million per year. Starts adding up.If only he cared as much about winning a SB

Too old and not enough HC experience, I was told out here. Also the notion that he started on 3rd base even though he was basically a co-HC during the success that preceded him becoming HC.We didn't want him. We called him and canceled the interview.
