Said before that the mid year pro additions were going to not be impactful relative to the amount of fretting about them, I feel justified with Nnaji in particular:

This is correct (with clarifications) yet also misleading
Clarifications - Dejuan Harris and Alex karaban were both RS frosh on their respective teams
Misleading - Trey mckenney played starter minutes last night
Also, is it meant to be meaningful? 3 of 4 final 4 teams had at least one true frosh. 5 of 8 elite 8 teams. 6 of 10 Kenpom top 10 teams.

I will say, right up to the moment he lost, I thought Darryn Peterson would have more of an impact on the tourney.
Not like I watched a ton of college hoops this year, outside of UVa, but he was def my most āwhoa manā player of the year. But he couldnāt put it all together, at the right times, enough times

Same agent as Siulepa from Pitt who hit the portal, so maybe this is anticipated, but still this is a big oof for Pitt.
Makes this headline very funny now:
Excited, but apparently not āwilling to come to Pittā excited.

Not athletic for the front court and not really a guard. An elite tweener who might maximize money in college more.

This sorta passed without comment, but Heitner saying nice things about our staff is pretty bullish from the perspective of āare we willing to fire the money cannon againā:

Heās kinda the de facto public face of the loose collection of people who are in favor of players getting a bunch of money.
