I saw him on the bench. But I don't remember seeing him go through warm ups. Didn't look hard for him though

Guys, I got nothing and I was there. Rebounding is going to be an issue most of the year and I think most everyone assumed that. The ball movement tonight, was not good. I thought that was more devastating to the team than rebounding. Empty possessions by just driving to the rim and throwing something up as soon as you cross haircut

They'll have to hit the portal for 2 PGs probably. Both McGowens and Verge will be gone Overall, I agree with you. I look at him as a guy who can run an offense but he has scoring chops and that's how you'd best utilize him. They NEED to get a PG. Avery Brown would be awesome, but I guess the boat has sailed there

Was at the game and forgot to check in here. Hi guys, it's basketball season again. Overall, thought they could've played better yet they led by 20 at one point. Wilhelm has issues boxing out right now I noticed. He just tried to grab the ball. Once big ten play starts, I have to think they'll play him and Andre together, because Andre just gobbles up boards Bryce is finally getting comfortable in the scheme. He'll have nights where he's quiet all night but all of a sudden you'll look up and he has 20 and 5 boards and 4 dimes. He's my kind of wing honestly Bench rotation is going to be interesting to watch all year. First will usually always be Wilhelm and CJ. After that Keisei and then it could be a variety of guys based on the opponent. PG play is going to be heavily dependant on Trey and Alonzo this year. After them we have Kobe, but the fall off is there. Overall, I saw a TON of good and some things that I think can be better. I see the potential with this team and not trying to jump the gun, but I'm getting a similar feeling to the JPJ/Copeland first year.

Would've given us a clear PG future post Trey. I wanted him here bad and was blindsided by Wisconsin

Great call

Was thinking this morning about next year's team post McGowens brothers, and there's a massive hole at PG. They'll lose both move and Trey. McPherson can show me he's ready to fill in, but I imagine we take a transfer and I'd prioritize the hell out of Avery brown. This can all get thrown for a loop if one of our 2023 PG targets reclassify (Simeon or chase for example). But I'd put as much as I can towards Avery

He's still in the portal. Wonder where he'll end up or if he ends back up at prairie view A&M

draft is in a few weeks. He's getting workouts with teams. I think a late 2nd or preferred UDFA with a guaranteed 2-way contract is what'll happen. Really rooting for him.

I immediately thought about him when Banton announced he was staying in. He'd be what Banton was last year, but the feedback he got might've been "go dominate another year in a lower conference and you'll be drafted" I would've loved him

just me speculating, but this could be a possibility. He's from Brooklyn so I'm assuming theres an abdellmasih connection. At the same time, there was no St John's offer out of HS back in 16/17. No rumor. Just me speculating. If they plan on filling this quick (they should imo) leaning on connections/relationships is going to be key.

As of now, this is my rough guess. G: Trey G: Bryce G: CJ F: lat Big: Walker Off the bench (in order) Kobe Andre Keon Wilhelm Wildcard here is Tominga. He has a quick release and fits into what the offense wants. Him not getting here until after the Olympics may hurt him initially, but I can see a way where he works his way into the rotation. Lakes and McPherson are both interesting guys, but I think they'll be further down in the rotation. Lakes may start off higher backing up lat, but that'll eventually be Wilhelms spot imo Obviously, this can all change based on who they bring in with Bantons scholarship.

That would be huge, but after looking at the roster, I think they'll be pursuing a wing. Jordan Hall would've been target #1, but he went back to St Joe's. Right now there's about 5 "bigs" on the roster (including Lat/Wilhelm). In contrast, there's about 4 wings right now (Bryce, Lakes, CJ, and keon). Dawson would easily be the most talented big on the roster from day 1, and the relationship is already established from HS (Fred offered him). I just personally think they look on the wing direction

Put up a decent line minus points. Not really moving the needle

There's some interest at this stage. Watched some tape, and he flies off the screen. Wants to come back down in the fall for an OV at a football game

Bryce got some good publicity from the Iverson event. Getting talked about as a draft prospect once he adds muscle to his frame. Im really excited to watch his development

No scholarship guy I believe. He was being pursued by us, UConn, and auburn the hardest apparently. Very interesting commitment. Has size and looks like a bit of explosion. Under the radar. I like the guard rotation as it currently stands, so I wonder why they took him. Elijah wood 2.0?

I need him out of my life now. He makes me hate Wisconsin 10x more than I should. AND I WANT TO LIKE THEM. Especially with Chucky, johnny Davis, and mors next year. Brad ruined it

5 star out of HS. Popped at times at KU, just never stuck for whatever reason

No clue what the hold is on Grant-Foster. But if he got cold feet, go this route instead in my opinion

This is a great point. The rotation is pretty set I think, but adding another wing with some talent should help. If Wilcher beats him out, so be it. The ball handler situation isn't the best, but I can see 4 on the roster now (I'm pegging Bryce to handle the ball for stretches also). No TRUE PG but a bunch of guys who have the capabilities. Plus, the upside of Banton. Started off strong but fizzled out post COVID. Retract towards the middle between those at least and I think the issue is in better standing

If it's tyon, it makes some sense. Long wing that can guard multiple spots. Certainly underwhelming yes, but I think it's solid.

Damn. Nvm then.
