Offensively Keisei could do so much more than shoot threes. Standing in the corner waiting for kick outs is the opposite of what Keisei did. I understand your point, but he’s an  Admiral now. He deserves the corresponding respect. 

Except for homes-schools (like Hawks' Flower Mound Rebels) there's no standardized curriculum or standardized testing.  So in addition to robbing public schools of funding, there's zero promise that they are preparing the students for professional life.
 
Change the subject from Hawks to Deion's now defunct "Prime Prep Academy" and I bet most of this board would be vehemently against it.  Here's a glimpse at PPA's math proficiency versus the TX state average:

Per the article, Kyle says he plans on making a decision by the end of this month. Right after visiting Lincoln (a second time) 😈

I did not need to know how you spend your weekends 😬

A small, low-efficiency combo guard that is turnover prone and struggles to get to the FT line.  What's not to like? 😅
 
Definitely a second-rounder, two-way contract kinda guy.  Baylor is at best the same.  Kalkbrenner has zero chance of getting drafted.

As a public school teacher, this was a bit of a red flag for me. And then I did a little digging.

Great that he's a husker bball supporter, but I'm thinking the guy's a snake.  Parkview Christian shit on steroids.

Justin Patton would've benefited greatly from attending a different school that has a better track record for developing talent.  To date, the only player Greg has ever made that sort of investment into was his own son.
 
When Patton committed after his Junior year at Omaha North, he didn't have any other committable offers and was ecstatic to have the opportunity to play a few miles from home.  When his recruitment blew-up and he became a five-star top-50 player, he kept his word and stayed committed.
 
But Greg wouldn't commit to playing him because he had another Senior Center (Geoffrey Groselle) on the team.  Instead he convinced Patton to do the unthinkable for a five-star player, take a redshirt year.  Greg would even publicly shame Patton in interviews when asked about the decision, stating he needed to improve his diet, sleep, strength/conditioning, and competitiveness...all issues that would continue to plague him once he did reach the professional ranks.
 
Once Patton did play, he was immediately dominant and lead the team to a top ten ranking.  Greg played him as much as possible and quickly reversed course, now praising Patton saying, "I’ve never coached anybody who has come as far and as fast as he has done it."  But the utter lack of strength-training, conditioning, and preparation during his redshirt season coupled with a high utilization rate resulted in his foot becoming injured.
 
Patton continued to play through it as the season finished but was still bothered by it during pre-draft workouts.  Greg did not care because Patton's high level of play had earned the school the commitment from another Top-75 Center (Jacob Epperson) from powerhouse La Lumiere.  Less than a week after signing with the Timberwolves during his very first team workout, Patton broke the fifth metatarsal in his left foot.  He underwent surgery, rehab, played a few minutes in a single NBA game...and two weeks later was getting another surgery on the foot.  After spending his rookie season in the G League, he'd require surgery for a broken right foot.  And the rest, much like Patton's NBA career, is history.

Dalano Banton leading all players in scoring (28) and assists (9) against the best team in the league (Celtics) but Chauncey Billups still won't start him...
 

Yes.
 

For at least an hour or two (hopefully!), I think we still have enough on the roster to field a starting five next year.
 
Williams
Gary
Mast
Hoiberg
Jacobsen
 
Grace as our sixth man
Burt to fill out the rotation
 
We're fine guys - this lineup could beat a Juwan Howard led Michigan team any day of the week.

Lest we not forget about Gene Keady's literal killer combover.  Worth every penny of the $600 per month in maintenance costs.

Dalton Knecht transferred from Northern Colorato and became a first team AP All American at Tennessee.
 
Knecht at Northern Colorado, 2023:  20.2 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 1.8 apg, 0.8 spg, 0.6 bpg, 38.1 3P%, 47.9 FG%, 77.1 FT%
Thomas at Northern Colorado, 2024:19.7 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 4.2 apg, 1.7 spg, 0.9 bpg, 33.0 3P%, 47.2 FG%, 86.8 FT%

Clips are my NBA team so just wanted to add that he joined the staff in this capacity about a year after Lue took over as head coach.  Lue seems to be trying to give him a similar path to the one he took with Doc Rivers.  But Belcher already has experience coaching at IMG Academy where he had been for several years prior to this.  As mentioned in this old article, he had even helped Ja Morant train there when he was preparing for the NBA Draft.
