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
Guess the late recruiting cycle for 2026s is getting into swing now too:

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.
A shame we donāt have all those Polynesians ā or Kihei! ā still in town to take him under their wing.
good value defensive big. outplayed our centers in the matchup
He plays hard. Iād take him
Jake Fiegen. I mean, how can Northwestern even be in the mix? They donāt start with a V.
Heās from the area (and thereās a limited of top 30 academic schools with p5 basketball which seems to be a big consideration for him)
Didnāt you hear? They go by northVVestern now.
We definitely have the coolest logo of the group.
Kyle Guy Wario version
Florida might drop a big enough bag to get Milan Momcilovic into the portal. Crazy stuff
Is he not an NBA guy?? He shot 49%!!! from 3 at 6ā8ā
Thatās usually an NBA player
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.
Clearly Louisville is spending big again
Good. Need the ACC to be good and weād still beat them if they had prime LeBron.
Need Lewis to recognize he wonāt be the guy there like he can be here. Weāre his path to the NBA, not Pat āRoster Turnoverā Kelsey.
