    Good find. Can't shoot to save his life from anywhere but seems to be a good rebounder and at 1.3 bpg he shows some rim protection. Pretty small though to be playing at the 5 in the B1G at 6'9" 205. Could be worth a roster spot for development if that's something he'd be willing to do.

    He played both DE and 3 technique. And he's considered an EDGE in the portal.

    As much as I appreciate a short and concise post could you elaborate? We lose an edge rusher and bring in a guy that projects as an edge rusher but he wouldn't be considered a replacement?

    Wyatt the replacement for Burris I assume?

    Respect the hell out of ya but......couldn't disagree more. Have, and I mean HAVE, to make the tourney in year 1. Not only that but I think be comfortably in as a 9 seed or better. Can't accept less from a coach with the payroll we're working with.

    So am I the only one that at first glance thought Tucker was in a wheel chair in this photo? What an awful commitment pic lol

    Really just need a 6'10/7' ish big that is bouncy and mobile. Rim running and rim protecting big that can guard 3 positions. Basically only offensive skill needed is to catch lobs and dunk off of p&r. That's assuming we get Conerway. After that get some young guys with potential at PG and wherever else he sees fit.

    He's not unfortunately. He can do it for short stretches and he's not absolutely terrible on defense, he's just not quick enough to guard most 3's. DeVries is good for guarding stretch 4's.

    Lamar Wilkerson is a HOOSIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That did seem to be a trend of sorts last year but not so this year.
  10. Big city living is for the birds....pigeons especially. Different strokes for different folks. For me? Give me a couple acres of country land, a bonfire under a starry night (light pollution sucks) in a quiet neighborhood and a small/safe community all day. One place I did live for a couple of years that was awesome is Kalamazoo, MI. I lived there during the beginning of the craft beer insurgence. If anyone knows about the Zoo they know that it is a craft beer lover's haven.

    So we need to find players that don't look at things through a race lens? I agree.

    I'd imagine UK will have the edge for Wilkerson. I mean he canceled his visit after UK visit. Would seem to point to him committing there.

    Not to my knowledge and if he doesn't then I'd imagine he takes his Auburn visit. After that he'll consider which of the 3 best fits him as the $ will likely be equal at all 3. You know, like a rational human being.

    I mean I did about 24 hrs after DeVries hire but I don't matter lol.

    Have always liked Underwood and this just makes me like him more.

    Because Dolson wanted DeVries and not McCollum???

    Bailey looks to bang into someone constantly. Dude thrives with contact. His FT rate totally checks out with his game.

    J.R and company are good dudes and I like their shows (especially during football season) but I doubt he has inside info. Could be wrong but doubt it. Definitely recommended people check them out though, again especially during football season.

    Regarding Bailey: I like him a lot.....as a stretch 4 with spot 5 minutes. He is very good in high post/face up/drives. Strong with the ball and finishes through contact. Actually seeks contact but isn't weak going up with it (love that). His 3 point shot is good but very slow at gathering before getting into his shot. He'll need to work on that part of his game. Has a high BBIQ from what I can tell. Don't think you'll see him force crap when a double team comes (Reneau). His defense is an issue but if that can be coached up I think he could certainly play the 5. Bottom line he's going to be a good one that from an offensive standpoint will drive opposing B1G bigs crazy.

    DeVries is fine guarding a 4 imo. It's when he gets switched onto a wing or guard that it becomes a problem.

    He posts wild stuff to be funny or troll. He said Oats was going to Maryland along with a bunch of other outlandishly incorrect things.

    Not effectively for any extended amount of time. He lacks lateral quickness and just quickness in general.
