A bit disingenuous to be chalking up Castle, McNeeley, and Mullins alongside guys like Reibe or Abraham.

If he thought he should be eating into Reed's minutes this year, he's delusional. If he thought he should be granted a starting spot next year regardless of who we bring in, he's not a great cultural fit. If he thought his offensive skills could be better highlighted in a different system...

Is that verified or just speculation? (If the latter, not unreasonable, but I prefer to be clear about which this is.)

Not surprising given the rumblings we heard throughout the year, but surprising given the objective reality of being a solid backup and in line to compete for major minutes. Maybe he felt he was likely to be recruited over and didn't want to deal with the competition?

There was definitely some of that -- we generally played within 10 points of everybody whether we were 20 point favorites or 7 point underdogs. But I think there's also something to our style of play being better suited to OOC and degraded in the BE. It's partially familiarity, it's a lot to do...

This would surprise me about Demary, but there's absolutely something to this in general. Daniel Hamilton left after 2 years despite not accomplishing much and not being high on anybody's draft board because he just didn't care for college.

Given that we just got home a few days ago, makes sense our portal announcements would come later than others. Wonder how many of these we see, beyond just the guys who only played in blowouts.

UConn-Duke in NYC in February would be an unbelievable draw. Or bring it back to DC, returning to the scene of the crime.

He's a great program/culture guy, but I think we're looking for more, especially to replace the X's and O's acumen of a guy like Murray.

I would not put St. John's and Creighton in the same category here. St. John's gets away with murder in their games against us. They're coached accordingly, knowing this in advance. Michigan did well to adapt to the fact that they could do whatever they want against us too.

No, we don't need retread Tom Moore. He's excelling in his role and we need a younger, inventive mind on the bench. And, please, save yourselves the trouble and don't just throw out names of former players who seemed a little cerebral. We can aim higher.

A slower offense that grinds out possessions and relies on strong decision making with effective movement, you say?

I prefer an over-skilled one at the appropriate size. Oversized 4's without skill are how you end up with dysfunctional offense, like JC used to run out there late in his career.

No, but we were pretty limited size-wise and athleticism-wise with Mullins and Ball at the 2/3, in comparison to Castle, Andre Jackson, and others. That really helped make up for Karaban's physical limitations, and was why Ross got so much run this year. Honestly, I think the staff was...

How many international guys are there who come here at age 21 and stay 4 years?
