AGHANSEN

I graduated high school with Triston from North Star in 2016. High class dude....and a baller.

This upcoming season (24-25) should be the final year we start seeing a lot of 5th year guys because of covid eligibility. All of the players that started school in 21 don't have the covid year (i.e Andrew Morgan, Chucky Hepburn, Saint Thomas).

It was honestly kinda shocking how good we were last year without a trug pg. Give a lot of credit to Fred and his staff for figuring out a way. Just imagine how good we could have been last year if we would have had a true pg like Worster (top 25 team probably). I'm really excited for the combo of Worster and Ulis. I think they will completely change our offense in a positive way. Very few teams in college basketball find success without having a true pg. Illinois was insanely talented, but their biggest flaw was they didn't have a true pg. If you look at all the sweet 16 teams (except Illinois), all of them have this in common....a true pg.

Saw this on Twitter. He would be a great get.

Yes! I think Williams needs to average around 15-16 and Gary needs to be in the 13-14 range.

I think the main question becomes, can we replace the production we lost ? In terms of scoring, Rienk, Keisei, Allick, Laweance, and CJ averaged 49.3 points per game. Can Griffiths, Essegian, Worster, Ulis, Meah, Morgan, and Jano average around 49 per game ? Here is how I see it in terms of ppg hopefuls. Worster - 8 Griffiths - 10 Ulis - 7 Essegian - 8 Meah - 6 Morgan - 5 Jano - 4

Brutal news. I was confident we would return to the tourney this year and even win a game. Now, I don't feel good about it at all, unless we land a big name in the portal.

@Jacob Padilla Will you be doing the portal addition film highlights like you did last summer ? Those were really good!

I wouldn’t put too much stock into the On3 portal team rankings. For example, 247 Sports has us ranked 38. https://247sports.com/season/2024-basketball/transferteamrankings/

We have the potential of being a really good defensive team, especially with Meah, Worster, and Gary on the floor.

Assuming that Mast is back and plays, do you think the 24-25 roster as it stands right now, is better than the 23-24 roster ? I think yes, why? Because we actually have a true PG who can defend. This allows Brice to play off the ball where he could thrive (potential all conference selection). I do see the point you are trying to make. However, we probably are never going to get any big name transfers/recruits. Instead, Fred has to recruit guys who fit our system and the culture and not star power.

Great interview.

Are we totally out of the Igor sweepstakes yet ?

I find it interesting that we are going after him. He just seems like another version of Griffiths. Amos can probably protect the rim a little bit better. This tells me that there is a strong chance Mast comes back and plays.

It's because of AJ Storr. Storr was much more versatile offensively and defensively. Wiscy was a a NIT team with Essigian playing a lot of minutes in 22-23 and this year the Badgers were a 5 seed in the tourney with Storr. I guess I would take Essigan, but it wouldn't get me that excited.

I think a good comparison for Griffiths is Payton Sandfort from Iowa. Both have good length and can shoot lights out. Sandfort struggled his first year in the Big Ten, averaged 10 per game his sophomore year and then exploded last year. I think its reasonable to expect Griffiths to average double figures. Great pickup!

I would be shocked if Worster isn't the starter. He can handle the ball, pass really well and play solid defense. We don't need him to score double figures every game. We needed a game manager and that's exactly what we got. Great pick up!

BOOM!

Should see an announcement soon.

I wouldn't look too much into this. Rothstein is making his rankings based off who could come back. For example, I find it hard to believe that Alexander and Kalkbrenner will be back for Creighton. Nebraska will be on this list by then of the transfer portal cycle especially if Mast comes back.

Griffiths would fit our system to perfection.

Awesome, thanks! We need Rienk back!

Man I’m going to miss Tominaga.
