I'd agree but I saw this same text last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. And the term "whistling past the graveyard" was used a bunch the summer before the 23-24 season. I guess it was true. We whistled passed the graveyard filled with the decaying corpses of every big money nil school we left for dead on the court
I'm guessing that date was selected by the author of this thread because the tournament will have been completed by that date.
To add to that, IF a Uconn player enters the portal this week, can we still not talk about it?
The NIL trumps two way is going to be a thing I think. If you are not 1st round and can make $1M plus in NIL for staying in school I think that is more money than two ways will offer. Unless the player ends up being in the NBA for more than 35 games.
Yup, try not to bring up this painful reality as it's scoffed at here. We'll have to be very creative as long as we are part of the BE.
I'm all for trying anything as long as there is PLENTY of insurance in place. We need depth. One of the most frustrating elements of this years team was how thin we were.
This. Would be great if he takes that leap. Would be insane for Hurley to count on it.
Some people here seriously just rely on numbers and not their eyes smdh
He is a lazy selfish player
I think Kansas would have been better of keeping Zuby Ejiofor instead of taking Dickinson. I think Zuby would have been a better fit for Kansas' style of play.
The thing is, the loose way that Samson played was what made him such a dynamic player. It was a double edged sword and the best move the staff made last off season was finding a big that could play significant minutes (Reed).
Final 4 quality rotation depending on the transfers?
Great post.
I think we're gonna find out that AK was still really banged up where a few weeks off will help him regain his skills that took a dip. What we saw this year is not who he is.
Probably worth waiting to see what we bring back before even attempting one of these grids.
The last time I laid out a depth chart it was
Forget IU...see Rutgers!!!
there's no bBall for 3 days plenty of time to kill
Furphy ?
I could not agree more. It's ridiculous. We won 2 straight in era where it is incredibly hard to do, made the tournament even after losing all of those great players, and we pushed what many think is certainly a Final Four team if not the national champion to the brink. We have a great coach, terrific assistants, and a basketball first school with tons of tradition. Here's a news flash, we may not win next year or even get to the Final Four. It's incredibly hard and the ball has to bounce your way sometimes. Yesterday it did not, maybe next year or the year after it will. I doubt Hurley would have stayed if he felt we could not compete. He could have gone to Kentucky where the resources are endless. I suspect he knows we can, and I have a feeling he will coach as hard as he has ever coached to get us back to the Final Four.
Based on what we’ve seen with past freshman here, I seriously doubt Furphy will be in the rotation.
Mahaney?
Yea, not interested in him joining, but thought others might be interested in Big East news. I believe last year we had a Big East Transfer Portal thread.
