You’re not concerned about pg? That’s been our weakness all year.

Only because of injuries, which is unpredictable
When butler has played the pg spot has been solid. Popes offense runs through the center so we need a center who can pass amongst many things. Now they absolutely need a good pg as well to
Finding the right center is easily the most difficult thing in Pope’s offense. I think we were all hoping Garrison would emerge but I’m not confident he can be the guy next year. Point guards that would work for Pope’s offense are dime a dozen.
Agree, the passing and handling are crucial for this offense. The only potential center I’ve seen so far that can be close to Williams is Ewin Florida state
Thats who I want most so far.
He needs to change his offense. Why because offense and defense are interlinked. He needs a better system. I mean bigs that can pass but not defend which it seems. I mean passing bigs are generally euros or foreign who play zero defense. Those bigs learned to pass playing soccer where the ball constantly moves and players are always making runs. A guy like Williams for instance played as a target striker, constantly distributing and making runs. It’s the spurs philosophy pope is trying to implement but the college game requires defense.
U-Tube (CollegeBasketball Recruiting) just popped up on my feed subscribed it’s updating the portal with highlights of players entered including international players. Looks like around 100 already in.
He needs to change a top 5 offense?
Pope can change the system based on players
Could be a passing 4 with some shooting ability to distribute the ball
And 5 is traditional 5...Give defense and some low post presence
He can for sure. But the last 3 years he has a 5 guy who is initiating a lot of the offense.
No. I don’t think Florida loses anyone outside their seniors.
You are terribly wrong about our rivals having deeper pockets than we do , according to people that are paid to know that kind of stuff.

Supposedly, this dude is out of eligibility. He played a couple years of D2 but those aren’t exempt like Junior college.
I wouldn’t say that . Now it was a weakness when our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string guys were all out.
God, you're such a miserable prick
Well Cal didn’t have the year ole butters was expecting. He’s surly.
Joe Tipton just lists this kid as a "guard". Got to be a PG ... right ?
Quimari Peterson (East Tennessee State; 6'1", senior; fg 46.8%; 3pt 42.2% - from Gary, IN).

Nah.
Most of our rivals didn't get a return on their investment this year. That is, after all, the whole point of NIL.
What exactly did the Arkansas donors get for their investment? An 8-10 SEC record and a bunch of broken promises from Cal? How about UNC? They aren't even tourney-bound.
At some point, people are going to realize that while it's really cool to have VJ Edgecombe dunk 20 times in a season for your program, you're not getting much of a return on a 10-10 Big 12 record while paying the kid north of a million bucks.
Then there's also the fact that you're a miserable contrarian poster. So I don't really expect you to be objective in any of this.
That Jacksen kid out of NDSU would be spectacular.
As a side, has anyone seen those transfer portal highlight mix tapes with the really generic, kind of annoying music in the background yet? They were half of my YouTube feed this time last year.
They’re back already. I usually watch those as an appetizer before I binge full games. I need out over portal season
