    I Interesting for sure. I’d assume that Diop leaving ASU lends towards the St Marys center following his coach there. I think there are other programs going after that PG fro Wazzu so I’d assume it’s a reasonable possibility they (Iowa burner accounts) don’t get anyone they’ve tweeted about...

    I just really worry about his size. I mean he's not exactly Petty from TTech who is undersized but an elite tough shot maker. That being said, if he can come in and get 10-12ppg and take care of the ball at a high level... he may be a great fit when you factor in his defense.

    Yeah I'm all for letting them play and generally allowing more contact is probably better then being super strict, but if we are going to introduce a "cylinder foul" then there should be no world were teams are able to do what they did to Milan without getting a few fouls per game as a result.

    I agree with this. My hope is that Batemon and Toure both take a step and provide some of the scoring we are losing between Tamin and JJeff. The question becomes who’s our guy that can just go get a bucket when we need one. And to your point, if Milan gets to a spot where he’s out of our price...

    Yes, based off tape/potential - I'd rather have him that the 4 visiting guards. Again, if it was purely TJs decision, I'm cool with that. We don't know. Also notice how I said "not sure the backstory" - This isn't some hot take, just a personal opinion on whose tap/measurables I like more...

    I never said he would be better than all 5 guys coming to visit. I clearly was going off potential and what I've seen on his tape vs. the 4 guards coming to visit. I'll leave singleton out of it because he's not a guard. I like his tape and measurables better than the other 4 coming to visit...

    Watch his tape coming out of Eastern Washington. Now factor that in with the time he's gotten at practice this year and the work he's done with TJ's staff to develop and tell me I'm wrong.

    Saying can't create is just not true when he can get to that Fadeaway against anyone. The BYU game is different to me because I'm not sure what anyone expected when we just let Dybantsa play 1 on 1. There's not a 2-4 in the country Dybansta can't lock down if you just let him play 1 on 1...

    Really don't like this. He looked like he could have been a premiere offensive player for us. Not sure the backstory but I'd rather have him than anyone visiting this weekend other than maybe Singleton. Going to have to pray Milan comes back...

    I mean Dan Hurley said it best, if you're not in the lottery then you stand to make more money in college so why leave? My only worry is that some team could give Milan an early 2nd commitment and he may just take his chances with that which would be understandable. Personally, if I were...

    I'm not paying Milan money for a 6'7" PF who can't shoot. Not to mention Milan is essentially a 6'8" 3 who can post up a smaller defender while Punch is an undersized 4 who will struggle against bigger competent bigs. I'd much rather have Milan than a slightly more offensively gifted but smaller...

    To add to this, I'd rather have Prather if I had to pick between the 2 anyway. I'll take the 6-5 200lb guard who can shoot and take care of the ball assuming he buys into the defensive program here at ISU

    Milan, and it's not particularly close...

    And to your point, Maybe developing Batemon to be that guy is the answer. Point being, Tamin and Nate got a ton of open looks due to Milan and Jeff attracting so much attention, we just can't have another season of open looks resulting in 30% from two guys. That's really what I'm getting at.

    If Milan comes back, he's going to be face guarded the entire season. We need to have another reliable 3pt threat to counter that and by threat I mean someone who shoots better than 30-32% from three. Maybe that's Batemon, maybe that's Williams, I don't know. But I wouldn't mind targeting...
