Yeah, and the clip from the Purdue game shared was a really good look into how we can use Tarris. Jorge is right that you can move them with girth. Also, Mara is long, but not quick. You can get balls through him if you're decisive and don't let him anticipate, which Tarris does well. No pumps...

Zona legit showed up like they didn't care if they won. I don't think I'll ever look at Lloyd the same as a coach. I've never seen a team less prepared and with less fight. Makes me think Lloyd got lucky with a roster.

You still have not absorbed the topic properly at all. This isn't about who you'd subjectively prefer after having 2 years of Castle in the NBA. It's about who Castle was at Uconn during the 23-24 season. You've been basically wrong about every take you've had on this because you keep relying on...

If true, where is he getting more $$ or PT? What is he even angling for? I wouldn't touch the kid with a ten foot pole - could see UK jumping in out of desperation, which seems to be their chronic state.

You can't, yet the subjective ignorance of some here will fight you to the death trying to convince you the obvious is wrong. Yaxel - 15.1ppg, 53% shooting, 38.3% 3pt, 6.9 rebounds, 3.3 apg, 82% FT shooter in 30mpg His stats last year were even better. And he's a top tier defender, all big10...

He didn't take that long, but that's not the point. However long it took Yaxel to develop, it is what it is. We aren't discussing potential here - we are discussing what a player was to their team in the year we are comparing. 26 Yaxel is a better overall player than 24 Castle, and it's not even...

No, I haven't. I'm not talking about perception, that is someone else basing it on draft status. I'm basing it on what a player accomplished in their singular season we are comparing. Do you even want me to bother putting the numbers up? Because they won't help the cause. How about the...

Believe me I remember - neither were YL. YL more than doubles both of them in efficiency on EM. I'm honestly not sure if people are processing how good a year that guy has had. He is rated comfortably above Flagg last year. Does that help? He has 3 inches on Shannon. Shannon was a one trick...

Kentucky would be desperate enough to do it - no one can look at Hurley and see why he's winning, and the fact that building culture and a system is how it's being done. One year mercenaries that play for pay, don't care about what jersey they're wearing, aren't how you win.

] He's 21 years old now. He was 19 the year he played college basketball. Yaxel is 23 this year, yeah know, the year he was B10 player of the year, first team AA. Yeah, if you want me to pluck Stephon out of the NBA two years later and put him on UConn, I'd take him. If you want to come out...

Yaxel - 6'9" 240, 23 years old this year. Castle - 6'6", 210-215, 19 years old in 23-24 Yaxel, Evan Miya score this year - 13.84, only scores higher in the last few years have been Edey and Boozer Castle that year - 6.67 Get your facts straight before you start coming at me like the fool. You...

Just stop. You are arguing over a guy who was the second highest rated player in all of CBB this year by a wide margin (after Boozer), has 3 inches/30lbs on him, was B10 POY and first team all AA. I can't with this. In a far more talented field this year. This argument is dead to me. At some...

Square one for Willard it seems - bummer. They seemed like they were going to have a good back court to build on. Will be curious on the in and out of the BE.

But he wasn't that during the 2023-24 season. I don't think he was even on a BE all conference team other than freshman. Yaxel has 3 inches and 35 lbs on him, shoots, passes, plays great d too. He also has 4 years on him.

Lol. This place. Do you think we are getting 2026 Castle who has played for the Spurs for two seasons? Do you think Castle would have won B10POY this year as a freshmen even if he were featured? Or first team AA in a heralded class of talent. Johnson is better than 2024 Alex, not by much given...
