No offense to JJJ, but Igor really is a big upgrade.

6’10 > 6’6.


Just being a bigger/more athletic team in general has helped a ton.

Lanier is 2-3 inches taller and more athletic than Vescovi.

Shack is shorter than Knecht, but now we have two guys 6’10+ that can defend.

When Igor does all he is capable of he's a top player nationally as far as versatility. He's just not played consistently or with confidence.

I mean I love me some Barnes and am not on the “fire Barnes” train that some buffoons out there are on. However, until he wins the big one, his legacy will always include “but he couldn’t win the natty”.

Let's run the best coach we've ever had while pretending we're not.

Really hoping Barnes can juggle the roster and somehow get the seniors to return for another season. The extra year rule probably won’t pass till a little later

Perfect world for next season would be something like:

PG: ZZ / Clark (rumored transfer)
SG: Gainey / Boswell
SF: Shack / Evans
PF: Igor / Cade
C: Okpara / Estrella / Brown

You still would have two spots left.

Yeah I am hearing it won’t be done soon due to pressure from teams whose rosters and classes are full. We are a bit of anomaly of having space immediately. The theory is drag it out to allow teams to adjust to the likely rash of players who'd return.

It’s weird situation, because TB says there’s 3 rumored transfers who all want to come here next season. Apparently they all average 12+ppg.

He’s usually full of it, but it’s an interesting situation.

Do you take those 3 guys or do you wait it out and see if we get the seniors back?

My weird question - do players who aren’t league-ready ever go overseas to play professionally and then try to return to NCAA basketball once their pro chances fade? Are there guys from the past few years who might still have eligibility?


Thinking about players who now realize the NBA isn’t happening—could they go back, work on a master’s, and play in college? What about AAA baseball players—are they still eligible, or does pro experience automatically disqualify them?


I tried Googling this, but it’s not totally clear. It seems like a small number of players could do this since the NCAA often removes a year of eligibility for each year of pro competition. But with amateurism rules evolving (especially with NIL), has this ever been challenged in court? Feels like some of these rules might be outdated.
