Is Fland realistic? Unless he was already having second thoughts I assumed he'd just follow Cal to Arkansas. ...

[quote]If I was Sears, I’d go through this process and see what teams think where i’d fall. Then I’d discuss with Oats and see what the maximum NIL they can put together for me and see what gives me the most.[/quote]
Gotta assume this is the plan since he's retaining his eligibility. ...

[quote]Who is Oats’ biggest portal miss? Pringle? Who ended up being a serviceable starter on a F4 team[/quote]
In terms of having little, if any, impact probably Dom Welch. But I think he was playing at less than 100% when he eventually got on the court.
Beetle Bolden is probably the worst t...

McNeely just seems like he's going to be that easy to hate white guy who plays at a program people love to hate, in large part because of him, for 3 or 4 years and wins a lot of games to go along with a long list of personal accolades. A Laettner, Hansbrough, Timme, etc. type player. Personally I'd ...

Yeah I'd drop an absolutely massive bag for Sears if it would get him back for another year.
It's certainly possible that he has achieved enough of his personal goals (All American, Final Four, counting stats, etc.) that he no longer has anything he feels he has to prove here though. Really could...

[quote]Sadly, like most players these days, if they don't think being in the starting 5 is there, hello portal.[/quote]
Yep. I am fairly confident that a big reason why Oats targets mostly older mid-major guys like Bruner, Gurley, Welch, Nelson, Estrada, Wrightsell, Mallette, and Youngblood is th...

[quote]I'd normally think that's pretty harsh of you. But it was a pretty fricking stupid opinion.[/quote]
Yeah I mean if you just ignore his recruiting track record and the fact that everyone gets hit hard by the portal now it's certainly an opinion you could reasonably arrive at. But you can't j...

[quote]Even if Sears comes back, I feel people will start to understand how crucial a role Estrada played on the offensive end[/quote]
Hopefully. I got really sick of people dogging him all the time. Estrada isn't an explosive athlete by any stretch of the imagination, but he's quick and he's pre...

[quote]Kind of surprised he went to Memphis.
Fantastic post-up 3-pt shooter, but bad at creating shots on his own.
Bad at finishing around the basket. Defense is suspect.
I always thought he would be best if he were the 2nd or 3rd best player on the offense. When other teams focused on him,...

Posted by Robot Santa on 4/14/24 at 8:06 pm
Yeah I don't get the negativity here. A good role player isn't easy to replace, but is replaceable. I mean we did just that today. Youngblood is also a bit bodied guard who can fill it up from 3, and he's more experienced. And who knows, maybe he ends up being a star at this level. Either way, we're...

He's the perfect off ball guard for our offense. Kind of reminds me of a bigger version of Wrightsell. ...

Exactly. NBA teams shoot them more than we do, but not by a lot. The really well rounded, pure scorers will still take them, but that's about the full extent of guys who get any significant % of their production from middies anymor...

There's also the fact that everyone knows how we play and we keep signing top recruits. Our style of play is a massive draw, not something that frustrates players. :lol:...

Yep. If we had recruited Sears out of high school he would have been a 4 year guy. You basically have to thread the needle and land a guy who has a strong emotional attachment to the program and is also a good college player with some kind of limiting factor to his game that makes him an iffy NBA pr...
