With a team that was built by the best coach in NCAA history. IIRC RMK said that team would make the title game and should win it. Not in his 5th year at FAU and gradually improving.

I just checked his 5 seasons and the TOs have been trending down since he took over as HC, around 14 his first year and around 11 per game this year.

May's name will be mentioned for bigger job openings, no doubt.

Or watching the popcorn guy in the stands while giving up a wide open 3.

Geronimo averaged almost as many minutes per game as last season, and more than 1 less rebound per game. If rebounding is the defense of Geronimo, then there's not a defense. Yes, this team had rebounding issues but he wasn't the answer.

He's shown flashes, sure, but that's it. For every good game he's had a couple awful ones. There were games he played 10-12 minutes and had 0 points and 0 boards, that's not making the most of the opportunities you get. So far he's been a good athlete but not a skilled ball player and at some point that's just all he is

Geronimo usually couldn't make the most of the chances he did get, kind of hard to justify giving him more.

I wouldn't miss those two much if they were to leave. Bates was highly rated, but aside from sometimes getting hot he really didn't play up to it. Geronimo is athletic but not much else, he's an athlete on a basketball court as I've said before; kind of hard to say he deserved more chances when he couldn't make the most of what he got. Between the two I think there's a better chance of Bates putting it together because he was just a sophomore.

Ugh, Luke Recker. Seems like Iowa has been a pain in the butt since he played there.

Maybe he'd be able to tell the team what that stench is.

Another intriguing option.

Furst only took 41 3s this year so it's a small sample. Only 49 FTs.

That would be an intriguing option.

I wouldn't mind Timberlake and/or Ledlum so good to see we're trying to set up in homes.

Did some checking on a couple names we've reached out to. Chris Ledlum had an ORtg of 106.1, that would placed him between Kaleb Banks and Tamar Bates on IU this season. DRtg of 92.4 would've been better than Jackson-Davis' of 94.1. Kowacie Reeves had an ORtg of 92.3, that would've been 13th on IU. A DRtg of 101.7 would've been 9th between Xavier Johnson and Kaleb Banks. Makes me like Ledlum a little more and Reeves, somehow, even less.
