I asked my son, a UT student, if missing too many bunnies was Estrella’s biggest issue.  He said, yes that and too many nights out on the town… 

 

my kinda guy... not a teetotaler fan--- sign him UUUUUP

starter on an E8 team with 2 years of eligibility... as always, there has to be an element of "who can we actually get"

How many times am I going to read about a 3 point specialist's rebounding numbers?

You need to be able to do more than shoot 3's as a starting 4 in the B10.

I know these two names have been discussed but I assume this guy isn’t just saying this to guess he’s probably enough in the know. Also would coincide with Fru going back to Germany IMO 

[Stuhoo]

Boswell is the defensive stopper on an excellent defensive team, and a shooter that has to be guarded (on low volume). 

That is a great player to pair with Burton if this rumors about the two of them are true.

I selfishly want one of them to be Bidunga because he’s so fun to watch. And impact is huge but I’m guessing he isn’t very likely.  

My take (just a gut feeling) on Bidunga is he either turns pro or goes back to Kansas.

Duke.

I don't think Kansas can afford him, especially if they get Stokes.

Yea. I reserve judgement until the whole roster is done... but I can't imagine playing that kid significant minutes at the 4 here.

Olsen shot 40% on 2s in the Sun Belt. His per possession rebounding numbers are worse than Tayton Conerway.

[Jeff Flabjohns]

Yeah, Duke is contractually obligated to have a $5M player on their roster. Flagg, Booz, Bidunga.

His defensive metrics are horrible....for a mid-major player. Arguably worse than Bailey. I don't see how he translates to a B10 player unless it's a back end rotation piece.

Who's Boswell?

Bishop Boswell, Tennessee sophomore shooting guard.  He started for them this year and averaged 26 minutes/game.  I would say a P5 team that gets him is imagining him taking a bigger offensive role that he did at Tennessee -- averaged 6.2 points.  Did shoot it pretty well (43 / 39) but he was taking under 5 shots per game with the Volunteers

Jasai played hard, but he's a big guard that can't shoot and has a terrible handle.

Not a problematic subraction at all.

Also, terrible hands, maybe the worst hands since Larry Richardson. That kid fumbled a ton of passes. 

[Jeff Flabjohns]

Boswell dished out 3 assists per game, him Burton and Brumbaugh would be a rock solid 3 guard rotation.

Someone else reported that IU is laying Estrella $3m but that person doesn’t seem like an insider but still if true he’s not worth that but it’s not my money and going to trust rod clark on that one

That’s…a lot. Hopefully not true.

Guess that’s what happens when you have such an uninspiring year one. Nobody is taking even the slightest discount to play for DDv

Ok here is my top 5 since everyone is throwing names out there (lol):

 

PG PJ Haggerty - Kansas St. Jr. 6-4 195    23.4ppg/4.5rpg/3.8apg/35.1% from 3

SF Juke Harris - Wake Forest Soph. 6-7 200   21.4ppg/6.5rpg/1.9apg/33.2% from 3

SF Stefan Vaaks - Providence Fr. 6-7 220    15.8ppg/2.5rpg/3.2apg (91/260 from3)

PF  Flory Bidunga - Kansas Soph. 6-9 225    13.3ppg/9.0rpg/1.5apg

C - Hannes Steinbach - Washington Fr. 6-11 250    18.5ppg/11.8rpg/1.6apg (18/53 from 3)

 

 

Sorry Juke Harris averaged 21.4ppg, not 24.4......my mistake

Big guys are going to get paid above market value.  It is what it is.  If you won't pay, somebody else will.  And you will most likely end up with somebody much worse.  You swallow the pill and pay the big and move onto the rest of the roster with your remaining budget.

^^ I think you guys need to turn up your sarcasm meter WatShot is having fun with that post

I realized and others probably did too that Wat (aka Mark Twain) said it in dry humor.

We are having fun in kind.  That's why my post included LOL and also...ahem...sarcasm.

But thanks for the tip.  Next time it should be in legal tender.
