So it's about to become unlimited immediate eligibility transfers. How long before schools want to start paying the players so they can sign them to professional contracts? Lol

"College" Sports are well on their way to jumping the shark. Pretty soon players will be able to change teams during halftime.

NCAA needs to get ahead of things like that. If it gets to the point where players are indeed getting paid by the schools on contracts, the NCAA needs to put very strict limits on how much they can make in that contract and not just crazy free market type stuff. Put a limit on it and you'll still be seeing the same type of commitment trends you see now.

Amazing this has been going since 2019

Seriously,  just look at this for a minute.

Furman was about 60 places higher in the NET than they were last year.

Field of 68 is releasing their Top 25 players of the last decade. They have released their 21-25 shots so far. 

25. Paolo Banchero(Duke)

24. Fred VanVleet(Wichita State)

23. Armando Bacon(North Carolina)

22. RJ Barrett(Duke)

21. Victor Oladipo(Indiana)

 

So a couple things... It'll be interesting to see if TJD or Yogi are in the Top 20 which I don't believe they will be. Also that Cody Zeller is guaranteed to not be, even though Vic is 21st. For whatever reason, Zeller is just underrated at this point as a Hoosier.

Zeller over Oladipo all day as a college BB player. Both excellent!  Love them both, but if I’m drafting a CBB team, I’m taking Zeller.  
 

also, Armando BacoN is his new name forever.

Bacon was definitely an autocorrect lol. 

 

I think Vic's story definitely boost him up. Not that he wasn't really good, but I think over the last 10 seasons, I'd put Cody and Yogi above him as a Hoosier. But that's just my opinion. They just released their 16-20 as well.

Walking in Boston with 15 year old son. Near the US Constitution in Charlestown, we see an outdoor basketball court.

Me: “I think that’s where Paul Revere and John Adams used to play.”

My son: “With Bohannon.”

Bacot is a nice player. Was he a Top 25 player CBB last SEASON? Maybe, but probably not. Top 25 from the last decade? That isn't just recency bias, that is ridiculous.

His career stats: 

GP GS MIN FG FG% 3PT 3PT% FT FT% OR DR REB AST BLK STL PF TO PTS

100 99 26.7 5.0-8.955.60.0-0.111.13.1-4.766.23.46.610.01.21.30.72.61.7 13.0 

C'mon.

Absolutely. He was our best cbb player since Jeffries. Maybe even before that.

Yogi ended up being a better college player than Cody or Vic.

You can make that argument. I'd still take Zeller. He without a doubt changed the entire program. We won 12 games before he got here and then won 26 his freshman year. And we can all thank him for Yogi coming in. But Yogi definitely has that argument and 2 B1G titles under his belt.

Don't agree he was better than vic and Cody but really wish he was older and was playing his junior senior level with Cody and vic cause even with crean that could have been a championship team

Senior Yogi may have been better but I am not sure if I would say that.  To me Cody his second year was unstoppable by any player or opposing coach. Crean was the only person that could and did slow him down

Junior Yogi was pretty special too.

True. Sometimes hard to remember because the team wasn’t so great

Zeller has really became super underrated for some reason. I guess people feel he should have been way better. I don't know. I don't know. I think if Crean would have done some things differently he could have dominated more. But the narrative around him is just weird to me.
