- Thread starter Messi
- Start date
They said the same thing about Anthony Edwards...
I’m not sure I understand Fran’s point here.
Who’s he referring to doing their homework? The player that hit the portal?
Without knowing as much or more than any other poster on here, I doubt that any of the incoming recruits were ever intended to be an upgrade to any of those players that were already on the floor but rather to be supplements that could be used without sacrificing too much production. Sure, one or more could have a break out year and earn more minutes and maybe that is what TJ is selling, but I think the view would be that we were rather successful with the current core and there isn't a need to alter things. I think the upgrades are/should be focused on the players that we are replacing, not necessarily on the ones that are returning
I took it as coaches/teams not doing their due diligence when recruiting a player. Example - player A has talent and athleticism but doesn't love to play. Player B is a step below Player A in talent and athleticism, but if 100% effort and loves playing the game. Some teams just go for talent over fit.
the kid who went to 4 HS and is onto his 3rd college? shocked i say
Hot take here: I think the current environment has leveled the playing field and the blue bloods don’t like it.
Foster was a talented but doesn't love the game guy. It's not a bad thing unless you think he's something he's not. Which obviously happened. There were many red flags by Joe Blow basketball fan. Don't know why coaches couldn't see it.
Are you Milan’s family, by chance?
Milan didn’t single handily win us games, no more than hundreds of players single handily win games.
This staff isn’t promising anything at this time to players. It will have to be proven on the court and in practice next year
Any guesses on the mystery transfer with ISU connections going in to the portal today that CW mentioned on the pod?
Instead of continuing polluting the transfer thread with your defensive thrashing about Milan, why don't you start a thread about his usage next year?
That’s how I took it too but isn’t he quoting a coach that said they are staying away from a player because they don’t like basketball?
So seems like coaches are doing their homework? Lol I don’t know
Probably Caleb Grill
Hotter take: that's temporary. The blue bloods are simply adjusting slower, and later on, their superior resource availability will catch back up.
This tweet comes across as KU not having the windfall they were expecting.
