Looking like West Virginia is the leader for him. Regardless, ever since seeing these statistics, he seems like the typical low major player that flames out when bumped up to a high major. Summit League players (especially guards) should be looked at pessimistically as transfers (unless they're...

Exactly. The only thing that matters is the number now. Pay up or get left behind.

It's a lot easier to play loose when there's no pressure. Did we see Essegian make a turn, or was he just playing well with no real stakes? That's the question.

When the NIT was a bigger deal back in the 90’s and early 2000’s I’d agree. Also if we were returning a bulk of our starters I’d also tend to agree (not as much so, though). But the non-Madness tournaments now don’t do anything for recruiting if that’s what you mean momentum-wise. It was...

It literally is meaningless lol but the staff has done decently in the portal for sure.

WE'RE BACK BABAY! AMERICA!

Starters: JLaw Essegian Blue Sandfort Mast First off bench: Sam Ugnius Jacobsen Frager I'm still not entirely sure Berke is still here or not. If he is, think he'll be first off bench in front of Sam.

Yep, you're right. Didn't realize he hired all three already.

I think Gatens is trying to get a raise out of Cockeye when/if he's retained by McCollum.

Doesn’t look good when you’re expecting some big name but this is a great hire. Bucky ball is legit. Nate Oats vibes.

Now I get why those Big East jobs are becoming more desirable for coaches

Fran

At least we're getting the 3rd best player from that roster with a couple years left. Fran can't coach he's a psycho.

If we were playing against a poor team I'd agree. Georgetown is not one of those teams. It's all about the number.

I know they’re missing 4 starters but still nice for Brice to look like Brice this game. Hope Juwan’s back is ok.
