[quote]But after watching Rylan play 70+ basketball games - he's a solid player, but he's a not big needle mover imo[/quote] Agreed. He's a role player. A very good one, but a role player. His ceiling is Robin to a good team's Batman, which I think he probably will be by his senior year, but for ...

[quote]I think Philon is kind of a missing piece in the team's construction thus far, and could actually play a big role for us. Right now, we don't have a whole lot from a penetration standpoint. Sears can get to the paint a bit, but Estrada put on an absolute clinic on how to get inside the teeth ...

[quote]A lot of balls in the air for Oats and company but he will not be caught off guard like he was last year with Bediako and JQ[/quote] This is what I appreciate the most about Oats. The drive to address any kind of weakness or inefficiency within the program immediately and overwhelmingly. I...

[quote]But I do think it's build a team that compete for the conference title and make a tournament run or bust for sure. There will be better years than other roster wise just because of how the portal is, but we're definitely in a place where we can expect to be very good on a yearly basis.[/quote...

[quote]**The most recent word on Grant Nelson is that he is expected back, as of now. Mark Sears is as well, but the draft is still an option for him. If he gets a draft grade that he can’t turn down, it would obviously change things. A 1st round grade would be a no-brainer for him. But all of this ...

Looking back, what the frick was our medical staff doing with him? The guy eventually got drafted 40th overall and has played for a few different NBA teams. If there was even the hint of an issue that would make it unsafe for him to play none of that is happening. Baylor may have been willing to roll...

[quote]Everyone on the roster 1-13 will expect to play and play a lot. Compare that with last year. We only had 8 guys average ten minutes a game.[/quote] You can't play 13. You can barely give more than 8 or 9 consistent minutes unless there are injuries. A lot of the guys with eligibility beyon...

[quote]I don’t like how he keeps pushing his visit here back and keeps letting teams jump in front of us[/quote] Not sure why you're getting downvoted for this take.

Not point guard necessarily, but point forward maybe. I think it was discussed a bit in the past, but during conference play he was surprisingly skilled at getting to the hoop with the ball. A forward who can handle the ball and drive to the basket with it can really open up the floor because you ha...
