    Williams will be on a BB scholarship.  If you play BB and another sport, you are on BB scholarship.  Just like Mendelssohn was on a BB scholarship even though she was a volleyball player. 

    Cool, thanks.  Glad that is set in stone.  In fact, I was even wondering if she was following the Sam Hoiberg route as a walk on with a supplemental NIL deal.

    Good for her!

  2. What is sort of different with our PG discussion is that we really don't have a pure PG position.  That may be by accident, but nonetheless, we haven't had a true point guard for the past three seasons.

    Whether it is truth or fiction, we seem to run a positionless offense.  We may have a primary ball-handler; but I'm not really sure if that is true.  

    Our offense seems to flow through different players in different positions at different times.

    So should the discussion be can a player adjust to Fred's offense/defense/transition game, or not?  

    I think both of our incoming players are "flex" players.  They can score and guard all three levels.

    We do need a couple more bigs though...and shooters.

  3. I go back to my post which was the genesis of this current discussion.  I have no clue as to the accuracy of the information.   It came to me, and I simply shared it with all my besties.  The chances are remote at best; but the message was that he wanted to keep any and all options open.  That seems like exceptional planning on his part.

    Who won't like it.... old blue-hairs probably aren't setting the tone of how the new regime will operate, I'm just spitballin' here... maybe they still have some pull, but I doubt it.

     

    I respectfully disagree.  A major theme at the press conference dealt with NIL, 1890 Initiative (Peed) and the retention of players/coaches/administrators.   Where does the money come from?  Sure you and I may dump 10K into the coffers; but the majority comes from the "old blue-hairs."  Their generosity and love of this university is our life-blood.  Without them, and the opinions they have a right to provide, will always play a major role in our decision process.

    I visited with an "old blue hair" several years ago that was a significant donor.  He was told by a certain ex-AD that he could no longer earmark where his donations could go within the athletic department.   Well, the donor fixed that by stopping his donations.  My point, is that if you are going to "donate" a million dollars, then you will earn the right to help set the tone.
