Pitino to Xavier. That feels like it should (could) make Dent attainable
 
I think Pitino is an upgrade over Sean Miller now that NIL is here.

Poster to Nova?
 


A lot to like from the highlights with his passing and ability to create off the bounce. Certainly seems like a pretty unstructured offense led to a lot of low percentage shots. I could see efficiency improvements in a more structured offense.

This is freshman year - two 3s in last 15 seconds to tie it in regulation at Clemson and a couple big shots in OT. There’s definitely some Tristen in just the pace to his game. Not overwhelmingly quick, but always making reads going downhill and a constant lob threat.

I may be doing more research than needed just based on the Trilly reference

 
UConn announced she gave the largest athletic donation in school history back in '22.

I never heard of her before then and all the press for her seemed to really kick off when she made that donation and honestly my bs meter went off. You can count the # of black female billionaires on one hand and they're extremely well known so I've always been skeptical about this billionaire claim but her donation must've went through so she must have serious money.

Interesting that two people actually felt they had to vouch for a Trisha Bailey personally to satisfy superjohn's "bs meter"...
 
I understand your question, I just don’t think that was the case.

Another question is, if a coach isn’t playing someone because they are a freshman and the guy in front of him is playing bad but continues to get chances, what does that tell the team?

Because that’s moreso what happened this year.
How can you possibly know this? Were you at the practices?

You're jumping to a conclusion based on what your expectations of different players (who you had only seen highlights) were.
 
He described his Reed source as on the Reed side of things from STL, which makes it more believable.
The most annoying thing about discord is all the different channels and messages to keep up with. I haven’t seen Trilly talk about Reed, but he could’ve talked about him in 6 different channels where I’d have to scroll through 100s of messages to find it.

Because I saw one guy play as bad as you possibly could’ve and be given every chance to correct it while others did not receive the same opportunity.

If Mahaney so much as hit a 3 Hurley was running out to headbutt him. He did not do that with others. How do you think other struggling players would feel about that?

I don't know, Pitino has been pretty mid overall imo, and tbh if he didn't have the name he wouldn't have had a couple of those jobs to begin with
 
A lot of this is b/c of Georgia Tech's archaic offense. Put him in our system and he'll be excellent.

Gonna be a lot of competition here.
It’s pretty shocking how many of those highlights are four GT guys just standing there (including two guys clogging up the paint) watching George try to break his man down off the dribble.

8 players were given all the room in the world to fix problems. Of the top eight only Stewart had a somewhat shorter rope, and even he was given plenty of time.

Mahaney was given more rope than some because UConn needed a guard. Diarra was hobbled, Nowell had an injury (no clue what happened with him tbh besides some mid-season injury being reported) and McNeeley was also out for a spell. The math isn't hard here.

Ross is the only one healthy player that really wasn't and he played a position that UConn had depth at. That is a reason as much as anything.
