2023 Off-Season Basketball - Outside UVa

Figured as much. Only surprise was it took this long to announce. Former #1 point guard out of high school who randomly decommitted from Oregon and went to Pitt last year. Wonder if they start Jaland Lowe (who we briefly looked at) or if they have a transfer ready to step in.

Nah … Haneyā€s posts are great for me … allows me to post less since he basically says most of what I’m thinking anyway…

How they define most common i wonder?

Yea. Thats nuts. Wonder if we start seeing teams that want uncommon guys that are effecoent at the empty areas. Like Ty Jerome

Anyone else see the second one as giving a middle finger?

Massive loss for Pitt, but it’s what they get for gambling on him in the first place (the guy changed HSs and college commitments enough that he came with buy-in red flags) before deciding to stick by him after he beat up a girl on campus. Good riddance. Leaves Pitt with just two transfers (Rhode Island’s Ishmael Leggett and High Points Zach Austin) and two true freshmen (4 star Jaland 4 Lowe and 3 star Carlton Carrington) in their backcourt. Otherwise it’s just all their incumbent bigs.

My only question is how?? Will be on his third-ish (never enrolled at Gonzaga) school before the season starts.

Based on some of the preseason polls, I’d actually put FAU as the answer to most overrated. Don’t get me wrong - I think FAU was a really good team last year, and they return mostly everyone (including their coach). So they will be very good. But they played above their head for one weekend at MSG, and pulled out 2 nice wins vs. Tenn and K-St. And some credit for keeping it tight v SDSU. But they also beat Memphis on a controversial call (right?) and then got lucky to get FDU in round 2. I think they proved they’re a solid top 15ish coming into this season, but probably not top 10, and certainly not top 5.

Interview for the… what?

Edit - Oh, its a G-League team.

Edit2 - I’m sort of vaguely curious how a G-League coaching gig stacks up. I mean, is it considered comparable to coaching at a low-mid major? You never hear about it, so I wonder if its on the radar at all.

Probably Toppert, right? I’ve heard his name as a good young coach, plus some NBA coaching experience (or G-league). I think Smith got some respect as a recruiter at Duke, but c’mon. That’s like getting credit for being good at having money when you’re a Walton heir.
