Wonder if the Spaniard in question is on this roster https://www.fiba.basketball/world/u19/2023/team/Spain#|tab=roster

If it is I hope it is Jordi RODRIGUEZ

Jarron Coleman off to Nebraska

ok, the player from Spain is intriguing is he on campus or are we just in communication? And what about Jarron Coleman did he commit to UCF during his visit or is he still an option. I think we need another guard as a depth piece.

Nebraska

If it were a player on that roster, Jordi wouldn’t have made sense.  Don’t need a 6’6” small forward.  Hernandez Garcia or Villar make more sense.  Also not hearing anyone confirming it someone from that roster.

Check out the replies. No fan base in the country can relate to the kool aid they’re about to start drinking like ours.

No, Tar Heel Nation, he ain’t about to start hitting 3’s in games.

Needs about 4 extra steps to get the puppies organized

No idea who’s on the Bahamian national team, but giving up 87 feels a little sketchy.

Buddy Hield, some dude named Eric Gordon, and our old friend TumTum Nairn!

Buddy and EJ combined for 31. Can’t get the box score screen shot to post.

Should have remembered Hield. Would never have thought of Gordon.

Hield is still on the Pacers roster.

I meant I should have remembered that he plays for the Bahamian national team. He’s played for them for years and my old man brain completely punted that fact.

Another L for Kenny Payne. 28 in-season wasn't enough.

From a Bossi article:

“Originally a well-traveled member of the class of 2024 who reclassified to sign early with the Cardinals, the 6-foot-8 small forward -- who also tweeted out Monday that he's a point guard moving forward -- said in his announcement that heading to Australia would better help him achieve his dream of playing in the NBA.”

Payne won’t regret this. 2 things: 1) Met his parents at an event last year while watching Passmore and, while they were nice folks, they were exactly the sort that Woody is avoiding. 2) The Combine Prep coach is a screamer, and the kid is so sensitive that whenever the Coach wanted to bust him he would call over Passmore or Silas Demary and bark at them and they would then go talk to Flowers. Saw it on several streams and thought that couldn’t be the deal and then saw it live. Hardest of hard passes.

So if you and Bossi could figure this out, why the hell couldn't Kenny Payne?

I guess any 'talented port in a storm' applies, but this kind of thing raises serious questions about program leadership; more than wins and losses (though they are directly related).

Guess UofL doesn’t have enough “bag money” to out the Australian leagues.

The sad part is, they do.

It’s more that quality kids don’t want to be there when there are other viable options, and lower quality kids are inherently unreliable.

Sounds like he wouldn't have done well at the college level and I can't imagine he'll do well as a pro unless he grows some thicker skin quickly. He might be good but I doubt he's good enough that coaches will go out of their way to accommodate his sensitivity. Then there are the fans...
