I had confidence in him and he made some impactful plays in limited minutes during the season. 2024-25 (IU Indy): Millender ranked 12th nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio with a 2.95 mark, leading the Horizon League. I think he was fine as a depth piece and could have stepped in...

Not being able to enroll academically at North Carolina has to be the punch line of a joke

We lost a center tandem and replaced them adequately. We lost Alex and have a viable star replacement We lost Stewart and I'm confident Landrew will fully replace and ultimately star We lost Solo for 26 and Nils will give us the shooting and some ball handling with less leaping = essentially...

I like this addition. I have confidence he can have an offensive impact because he appears aggressive seeking his shots, and he gives us at least combo guard ball handling against late game presses if we are protecting a lead. As a team, we need help behind Silas and hearing him emphasize his...

We've toyed with 10 or at least had 10 playable players on the roster. newton, hawkins, jackson, sanogo, karaban, clingan, joey california, diarra, alleyne, & samson johnson at #10 would have played if not injured so long. Richie Springs was also on the roster and I personally feel was...

During the tourney there were a number of Intuit commercials featuring several UConn players together, and at least 1 featuring Solo Ball. Any idea how lucrative that is and whether it is a firm connection we are building on? They were wearing UConn jerseys which suggests to me that UConn was...

I'll reluctantly take the 'under' that County is ready as a freshman PG. In the 4-5 games I watched there wasn't a glimmer of the attributes that Silas brings. We just saw multiple games with Silas exiting early in the first half with 2 fouls. I am stunned if they are comfortable going into...

The OP qualified his info by saying "highly likely". North Carolina with a roster in trouble could end up significantly overpaying to get a commitment so I think @BillG gets credit for excellent info if we are ultimately reported as being involved as a final landing spot.

I don't think this roster cuts it to be a final 4 contender. We need a bigger brawnier player option at least available at the 4, and based on games I've watched, County for 10 min at the point scares the crap out of me both offensively and defensively. I don't think his handle, or his...

Gratifying that yarders like @ToozieFan remember the 2019 post. In Jan 2020 I added Sanogo to the wish list and gave Tom Moore those 3 names in Springfield as a tongue in cheek moment that I also posted here. He got Sanogo a year early with a reclass and after both Clingan and Karaban also...

Just as an aside. JP Estrella was Solo Ball's roommate at Brewster so there is that connection. His mom was a BC Eagle women's player who is good friends with Shea Ralph (rehabbed injuries together).

😊 Obvious what I think
