Big, big fan of that kid. I’m telling ya, Wilkerson’s gonna have a Chaz Lanier-type year. He’ll create so much space Conerway won’t believe the driving lanes he’s getting.

Had she even left the country yet?

Hell of a day.

DDV threw me. I was pretty confident they’d add a Eurokid. Did not cross my mind it would be a guard. Welcome aboard, Aleksa.

Gonna go out on limb and suggest Dwayne Stephens is not recruiting Thompson for Western Michigan. Guessing he’s recruiting him should he be the next guy at Michigan State.

That would be a great result. And if Gardner’s good enough to go after a year, that’s really good as well. I’m more whining about the inevitable Painter thing where Zachary chooses them from a final 4 of PU, Toledo, some directional Michigan school and maybe DePaul and then shoots 45% from 3 every year and he and Luke Ertel are just a straight pain in the a$$ together for 3 years. And that is complementing both of them.

Illinois’ Ty Rodgers out for the year. Blew out his knee playing pick up ball. Unusual player but I’ve always liked him. Competes like crazy.

Kid’s a hell of a player. Was really good at GEICO. They lost to the Boozer twins but that kid as a Soph completely belonged.

Imagine for a bunch of reasons this is priority 1, or really close to it, for ‘27. But you just KNOW what’s gonna happen: IU’s gonna land Gardner who proceeds to have a really good FR year and heads to the draft. Meanwhile, Purdue signs Zachary away from a bunch of MM’s and the kid spends 4 years sticking 3’s in our eye.

Keep that kid the hell away from Painter.

Pretty surprised the amount of negativity in the Mem-Orl trade. Really, really like Bane for Orlando. Gives them everything they didn’t have. Signed for multiple years and young enough to justify it. Got out from under Caldwell-Pope and Anthony. Gave up some mid to late 1’s, though the Phoenix pick could be anything. Not sure I see it for Memphis unless they’re planning to tear it down. Could Jackson be available? Man, would that guy bring a return.

https://x.com/TMarkwith14/status/1934281014995476485 IU offers 247 top 50 PG Nasir Anderson. Plays at Georgia powerhouse Norcross HS and in the 3SSSB circuit for Game Elite. Has had a huge spring. MVP of the FIBA U16 Americup event and was apparently 1 of the hottest ‘27’s at the NBPA Camp. https://247sports.com/player/nasir-anderson-46148955/ https://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/nasir-anderson-323443?view=pv https://www.hudl.com/profile/18960336/Nasir-Anderson

Will be pretty surprised if this one becomes a thing, particularly if he’s a reclass candidate because that’s just not where the minutes are. But if they think that’s worth a swing, absolutely, go for it.

Allmond from the NBPA camp. Kid has had a very, very good spring. Locking him down early wouldn’t be a bad idea.

I think she ran into the JHS thing a little bit. There are so many players with broad skill sets but no single elite skill where if they find the exact right opportunity and moment they can establish themselves and if they don’t they don’t. Imagine she’ll get another swing at it.

The favorite is down 1-2 on the road and the League busts out Scott Foster. I don’t care what the prop line will be on SGA’s free throw attempts tonight, but the over is stealing money.

Good for Grace. And there are definitely worse lives to have. Our Niece took a semester abroad in Australia , straight fell in love with the place, transferred there and has no intention of ever leaving.

Rothstein interview with DDV. Nothing new, but offseason we take what we can get. Wish they’d talked a bit about the Puerto Rico trip.

Yes, he is. And I get why people who aren’t hardcore don’t love Brunson and SGA foul hunting or the Celtics shooting a million 3’s, but, man, if someone doesn’t like the Pacers style of play, they just need to admit they don’t actually like basketball.

https://x.com/awfulannouncing/status/1933169442437173460 Valid way of looking at it. So, by Magic’s definition there’ve no more than maybe 20 superstars in the history of the game.
