Look- I just canāt hate Buzz man. Heās a pure character like Josh Pastner. If this was the 70s heād be a revolutionary.

Flagg, Peterson and Dybantsa are basically the same age (Dec 06 for Flagg and Jan 07 for the other 2). Boozerās July 07. Based on birthdates, all those guys should be in the same school grade.
Peterson had a terrific senior year, but I doubt he wouldāve jumped Flagg since Flagg was the national POY in college that very same year at the same age. Imagine what Flagg wouldāve done to high schoolers.
Pre-reclass, Dybantsa was among the oldest kids in his class.
NBA teams and draft analysts definitely look at draft age when assessing a prospect.
Flagg being 18.5 at draft time is definitely a positive. Boozer being 19 is a positive. Dybantsa and Peterson being 19.5 is neutral. Harper is March 06, so 19.25, Bailey is Aug 06, which shouldāve helped him except he was flakey and tanked himself to unsuccessfully try to drop to a preferred team. Edgecombe is July 05, Kon is Aug 05. Theyāre a year older than Bailey. A draft age of 20 is a little bit of a knock on a guy. Imagine Dybantsaās draft age of 20.5 pre-reclass. Hell, Caleb Wilson is July 06. Heās older than Ace Bailey (and Cooper Flagg) and a full year older than Cam Boozer.

Agree that Buzz is 1 of 1.
Buzzās claim of not having a computer is driving me crazy. According to wikipedia (the most reliable place for information, obviously), Buzzās contract includes a cell phone stipend. Well, what kind of cell phone does he have? Is he using the senior citizen JitterBug? Does he just use his cell phone stipend for his wife and kids and he goes without a cell? Does Buzz know how to text? It truly is impossible to figure out Buzz and all his eccentricities.

Buzz is probably talking about a desktop or laptop computer. He doesnāt think of his phone as a computer. Might not even consider a tablet or an iPad a computer.

I find itās good not to overthink Buzz and better not to think about him at all.

Thatās good advice, but Buzz Williams to me is the David S. Pumpkins of college basketball. Every question has an answer, but the answer just leads to more questions.

OK, never mind on Caleb Wilson since heās hurt now he must be injury prone
I think Pastner was a genuinely good guy. Buzz, not so much.

Jerome Tang with quite the presser - also PJ Haggerty seems like the NCAAās version of Cam Thomas where heās a certified bucket but doesnāt really seem to impact winning much based on this season at Kansas State and also at Tulsa.

The social media teams at Purdue and USC have been having a petty battle over which school has more impressive and random alumni.

What he does wonāt show in the stat sheet. Make no mistake they won that game because of Rohde.
Blackwell and Boyd are great complementary players for the Ro-dawg.

I was chuckling to myself last night as I watched parts of the Wisconsin/MSU game. I like Rhode but the only thing that he did while I was watching was catch passes from his teammates and then dribble the ball back out to the top of the key. No shots, no assists, just dribble back out. That made me think of many a post Iāve seen here.
