As Ed progresses to a shooting guard this year it will leave less competition.

With this news my new height guess is 6’ 7.2 “

I would prefer workouts go well and he goes first round or gets a great second round deal. But this would be fine backup result.

Yeah about 6foot 6.5 inches or so it looks like. That is a little disappointing but they key is that he plays taller than he is. Looks to have long wingspan in the videos.

What I wonder is it it happens where players agents tell teams not to draft in second round without a two year guarantee and if teams respect those wishes?

Yes that is correct, which my post prior probably led people to believe this isn’t the case. You can even have an agent that meets some ncaa criteria. You take the option to come back to school you just terminate the relationship.

Come on man. Obviously the discussion is talent in relation to expectations. This is silly.

All should depend on if he gets a verbal guaranteed two year deal or not if I were advising him.

Don't know how you can speak so confidently without having any idea of what type of verbal guarantee he gets locked up. If he doesn't get one and goes late 2nd or undrafted with no decent financial guarantee, it absolutely makes more sense for him to come back. A first round contract, which is certainly in his range of outcomes if he comes back, is a two year guaranteed deal worth a lot of money. Plus he develops the connection with the well connected Hoiberg and develops his shot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am just one of those shitty fans with my own interests only in mind.

Guys in majors hit for power though.

Don't want one or need one. Just wanted to share with the board what I was told. My first question to my brother was is your friend a guy that could mangle this, lol. He said no, they had a great time and bullshitted the whole flight. At the end of the day, all that matter is that he is N.

Certainly no inside information. Just relaying what my brother's friend told him occurred on the plane. Beyond that, all I know for sure is that I am not lying and my brother is not lying.

This guy seems like a bit of a misfit in our scheme but since it is such a glaring need I trust we can adapt.

I would hope if we were in Wichita that it would be for Caleb Grill.

Sorry, we do not have much offensive talent.

Take it or leave it, up to you.

Have had too many beverages during Warriors game but my brother said that his friend said that Mack told him that he would be committing.

Friend of my brother sat by him on the flight from Salt Lake City. He said he was going to commit. Hopefully the visit does not change that.

ok, now to figure out how this impacts the roster. Want to make sure we have room for all the difference making guys, especially transfers. I am fine with showing some guys the door to another school where they will be able to play.

Yeah me too. And the way we just destroyed the field in that thing, I bumped it up a peg. Sweet 16 for sure.

our highest ranked player by offensive category in the league Runs 14th doubles 9th triples huge tie for third with just two home runs T 32 lol. Three homers. My goodness RBI 19th wow SB t22 wow. No power but at least we aren't fast either. Caught stealing. We are tied for 3rd in this category that you don't want to be leading walks Altivilla leads the way here. One positive thing BA 12th OBP 5th Slugging percentage 22nd yikes OPS 16th yuck total bases 12th XBH 16th I would say we need to change our recruiting approach.

Have to recruit different type of offensive players. I know I have said this a lot, but Erstad clearly doesn't get it. Need more tools. Bigger faster players with higher ceilings and then teach them how to play baseball better. Trying to string together so many singles to get runs is a tough road to hoe.

I am on board. Loses just a little baby weight he can be even better. Plays taller than he is. Looks like he must have very long arms.

That team was playing elite 8 type of basketball at the end of the season.

yeah thanks. I have since seen it.
