What's up with Ramel Lloyd?

You will notice that the video is a compilation of various practices and/or segments.  I am the guy that loved this guy and thought that he would be a dude for us. 

There was a reason he didn't play.  Plus if you watched any of the pre game warm ups this year, you would have come away unimpressed by his shot.  

Just saying...

Again, I wish him all the success possible at his next stop.

I’m sure that clip is gonna be his main evidence to other schools that he can ball and is worthy of a scholarship/nil deal. With our luck he will go down to GCU and lead them to the sweet 16 next year 

 

That'd be somethin' huh?

Yeesh, I’m sure the young man has some ability, but he also has a helicopter dad?  IIRC, when Ramel got fully healthy this year, his dad posted on his twitter account as such and pretty much the expectation from him was that Jr was going to very soon be in the rotation.  I suspicioned that it wasn’t going to go like dad thought.  We were already into the season and given how I thought Fred operated, I just didn’t see it happening.  I’m not going to predict what he’ll do in his college career, I wouldn’t be surprised either way.  I’ve seen both outcomes.  He was pretty highly desired at one time.   What a strange career at Nebraska.

I guess he could join Bronnie and LaBrons new NBA team.

Sort of amazing that it seemed like Senior was trying to steer Jr down this different path than him and at the end of the day they both go from a large school to Long Beach St. Senior is the 8th leading scorer in school history

The place where they fire their coaches before playing in the NCAA tournament?

Was  Romel hurt this year? I never did hear?

 Rom(m)el was a Nazi general, famous for leading the Panzer Army division in Africa during WWII.  He died of forced cyanide poisoning. 

Ramel, hinted at being injured, yet that was never really confirmed.  What was "injured" was his perimeter game.  He never found his shot.  

It appears Long Beach may be a much better fit for him.

Justin Patton kicked his ass in a pick-up game in Omaha.

Dan Monson was the Coach who originally led Gonzaga to prominence, then took over in Minnesota after Clem Haskins moved on.

That doesn't even seem unprecedented, any more with the N.I.L. era. Feels like a sign of the times, tbh.

Minnesota has had the most odd collection of college basketball coaches over a 40-year period. Football too, tbh.

It looks like Ben Johnson’s Days are numbered especially with Cam Christie entering the Portal. Fun Fact: Fred & Tim Mikes accomplished something Tubby Smith never did. Post a Winning B1G Conference Record.

Really depends on if a new coach will bring in more NIL because Ben is being outbid on his sister 

[FredsSlacks]

is he the first 2 year scholarship player to never play 1 second of a game? wasn't injured/suspended either.

[hhcmatt]

Best of luck to him

I know PJ cries ALL the time about their lack of NIL support with the Football Program. I’d like to see Ben Stick there…

How does Minny lack $$$, is it their general disposition in the Twin Cities?! Third fiddle?!

I liked Tubby at U.K., he kind of got screwed out of a big-time job in Lexington. But he also kind of did it to himself, that's the nature of the beast at a blueblood. At Minny, he never gained traction.... I always wondered how Tim Miles might do. I know TImmy's wondered it too...

That is puzzling, since St. Thomas is the only other D1 program in a state of 5.7 million with multiple Fortune 500 companies. It's also bizarre that they can't keep any talent home. In the past 5 years they've lost lottery picks Jalen Suggs and Chet Holmgren to Gonzaga, plus Paige Bueckers to UConn. 

 

And we had a cow over losing Elliott Eliason!
