I hope it's not their only strategy, big believer that you need a mix of guys transferring up, guys transferring down, some under the radar recruits you hit on & some role players that will stick with you. I do think this may be an untapped area for guys looking to transfer up.

Really disappointing to see them do the hard work to get into the national picture & then walk away. I do wonder if this opens the door for Atlantic to reconsider expansion again. Could now add Stonehill & LIU to our them at a nice even 12. As a SE MA guy I'd like to see Stonehill get a foothold.

Interesting. Gonzo also best at Man. I thought Vrabel preferred zone?

In his defense it can be hard to drive sometimes when we clog the lane with 3 useless stiffs at the same time.

Mike & Lari feature so prominently in my memories of the team while I was there. Brutal that we've lost them both. Growing up in the Hockomock I've watched Mike since we were 12. Fucking sucks.

Finally put it together a few weeks later on my 21st bday with the upset against Kansas.

'98 still kills me. Should have had it. Another game where Babul locked up a big time NBA scorer holding Rip to something like 12.

Exactly. Consistency has never been important to them. Last year if you're gonna downgrade FSU for Travis being out why wait until selection day to do it?

I think you're probably right in reality, but a team not good enough to get into a title game should never jump a team who loses a champ. You can make a good argument Bama should have been ranked ahead last week and SMU had to win/impress to jump them by playing, but that's not where we were at.

Mechanics look pretty solid. Size is good. Is he athletic enough to play D and get on the floor will be the question IMO. I know we've seen guys be successful with unique form before, but it'd be nice to have a classic shooter for once. Doesn't describe anyone on this roster right now.

How's the 3p stroke look?

Just goes to show how bad the Power U logo is, especially when it's not flattened out. Still an absolute crime that it replaced the Cursive U.

I typed a few different versions of that and they all sounded equally weird so I just went for it.

I feel like the move is to "officially" call it the chowder bowl so you can lean into it without officially condoning the cum, and let the fans run with it.

With that awkward shot I'm just not sure he'll ever find more consistency shooting. Hard for him to get that drive going when he's not a threat from outside. I don't think we've seen the end of his hot nights, but hard to count on it.

Repole is a billionaire who's all in on SJU hoops. They have one of the best NIL situations in the country.

We're a terrible shooting team, but he's got the best % and the best shooting mechanics on the team. It's a low bar but unless Diggins is having one of his hot nights I like him getting a few up.

Someone has to shoot them. He's the best outside option we have.
