Prompt: make an AI version of the Plumlees but more dislikable
Also, a very Haney-specific gripe: that Fresh Coast Hoops guy got himself a sideline seat and STILL does his crazy herky jerky camera style.
Nobody would ask that guy to film Cry, Cry Again, Iāll tell you that

So he went through the process in 23 wasnāt drafted played another yr in Israel and now heās parachuting into Green Bay to play?

Wtf is Gottleib doing? Also, heās 23 and already played in the Israeli pro league. Why doesnāt he keep playing in it or another pro league elsewhere so he could be paid? I really doubt heās getting much of anything from Green Bay.
Maybe heās trying to avoid mandatory conscription by going to school?

Gottlieb is offering him a lot of money
Prior relationship with Gottlieb?

I mean I guess he could really want a US college education and degree. But I canāt imagine Wisconsin Green Bay has any name brand value or recognition in Israel, not any more than a local reputable university. Or maybe this is the first step in a long plan to get permanent legal immigration status in the US. I have no idea.

Unrelated to this situation but I would guess revenue sharing leads to more players coming from Euro pro leagues. The pay is better. Assume there wonāt be the same legal hurdles as with āNILā.
Quick googleā¦this guy doesnāt seem to be a big time prospect. Horizon league is about right for him. Itās just his age and pro experience that makes it wild.

And he did go 2-for-10 in his first game.
I actually donāt think this is a huge problem. Apples and not-apples, but college tennis already has an international player concentration, including players with some pro-level accomplishments. To a lesser extent, soccer does too. As long as someone is a student in good standing and hasnāt exhausted their NCAA eligibility, this seems fine to me.
It is kinda funny that we are 16 years out from Brandon Jennings skipping college for Italy, and instead of US HS grads going abroad to go pro, we get international pros coming stateside to go to college.

Greg Gard suddenly turning into offensive genius is pretty good:

Jonathan Blackwell with 32 pts 8 rebounds 5 assists. His only power 5 offer was Wisconsin and he was an Austin Williford level recruit. I remember when we played them last year I was thinking āHow is this random freshman 3 star playing more confident and fearless than Reece?ā

I would like to purchase AWilly futuresā¦I think heās gonna develop into a power conference starter-type of player. I might be overindexing on him being a dawg on defense during Peach Jam, but still.

Literally both times I watched PVI and STAB play each other, Austin Williford completely outclassed Isaiah Abraham. (and also looked better than that Caden Diggs kid who ended up at ODU when they played Bullis)

The real shame is AWilly not growing another 2-3" like everyone thought he would. That having been said, it forced him to work on his perimeter game and ball-handling which is paying dividends now.
