Remember when the three point line was different in the ncaa and was determined by conference?

Any chance he would reclassify?

Bit of a difference in the two comparisons. Basketball we are talking about a 60 year difference in training methods whereas Foreman/Moorer were 20 year difference. Also of note that Foreman was down on all three scorecards (two of which were 88-83 Moorer) before Moorer got caught. There are no one punch knockouts in basketball.

I love how goal posts have been moved to give chamberlain today’s training and advances when the question by OP was obviously meant to compare an NBA team in 1964 to a college team in 2026.

In 1964, the Boston Celtics won their sixth title in seven years. and they shot 41% from the floor.

He's certainly an A+ fit. Not sure what he is asking for but I would say it's more than anyone is willing to pay him or he would have signed already.

Wilt Chamberlain led the league in field goal percentage in 1961......shooting 50.9%. Bill Russell highest field goal percentage in ANY year was 46.7%. Even with their size advantage against NBA players in the 1960s, that illustrates how poor of a game that was played in that era.

Sign.an.extra.big. Period.end.stop.

Watching how they played in 1964, I assume that Reed Bailey is a time traveler. Lot of 1964 game in the way he played.

Also of note, Williams now challenges Monden for being the worst scholarship player in the Big Ten. Last year appeared in 7 games at Penn, averaging 8.7 minutes averaging 2.1 points. Previous year averaged 17 minutes averaging 4.4 points. Career 33% shooter.

Re: on the one time transfer rule. The motivation for this is that 'it's good for the game'. The problem IMO is 'what's good for the game' does not equal what 'should be legal'. We've talked about the fact that as a student you are allowed to transfer as many times as you like, and students do this if they think it is to their advantage. IMO, any rule that should be applied to a general student is one that should be applied to a student-athlete.

Just my opinion -- the federal government isn't going to come up with anything that sticks. We're just exchanging the grumpy grey hairs of the NCAA with the grumpy gray hairs in Congress.

Fears is guaranteed to not get benched regardless of how many players he kicks since Izzo is a coward.

My understanding was that grad transfers are not limited to the same window as non-grads.

He does not have any eligibility left. He’s one that put his name in the portal looking to get an extra year but will not.

Any names?

Already reported that monden is only receiving a scholly but no NIL

Truth is he’s played three straight years for power 5 schools with underwhelming minutes and value. Not a shock that he might want to go out being a more focal point for a year.

The Illinois route is definitely going to be much more common.

Howard was the anti-May in terms of coaching, so the May hiring was doubly good.

I would disagree that body/physique/readiness for college isn’t already accounted for in the player’s rank.

When I've done comps of players in the past, guards on average tended to do better than forwards or centers.

Moody comps: CG, 81 ranking Player 1: 25 Chris Jeffrey, Villanova, CG (73). 8.2 min, 1 reb, 1 AST, 3 pts Player 2: 25 Adrien Stevens, Marquette, CG (78). 26.1 min, 2.6 reb, 1.6 AST, 7.9 pts Player 3: 25 Neiko Mundy, CG (87). Ended up reclassifying to 26. Player 4: 24 Gicari Harris, Purdue, CG (75). 15 min, 1.9 reb, .8 AST, 3.8 pts Player 5: 23 Reed Sheppard, Kentucky, CG (79). 28.9 min, 4.1 reb, 4.5 AST, 12.5 pts Averages: 19.6 min, 2.5 reb, 2 AST, 6.8 pts

Last season, Jordan Scott averaged 21 minutes/game. He was ranked 54on 247. Karbala is ranked 52 this year. i started the player comps on another thread.

Manhertz, SF, ranked 66. 1. 25 Hudson Greer, SF, Creighton (58). 13.7 min, 2 reb, 4.7 pts 2. 25 Amari Allen, SF, Alabama (64). 28.3 min, 6.9 reb, 11.4 pts 3. 25 Jacob Wilkins, SF, Georgia (68). 10.2 min, 1.8 reb, 4.9 pts 4. 24 Jankl Howard, SF, Auburn (62).
