I think Carrere is with the French U20 this summer. I suspect August for him, maybe all the Europeans.
Gonna be lonely in the big man drills

It did hit me the other day how euro centric the front court is. If those student visas go away we really are going with the oops all guards team!

Tillis v Yigitoglu. 
Tbh, I canāt even remember the other ACC bigs. Lubin on NC St now? Didnāt GT lose its good big?
Veesar (UNC), Ngongba (Duke), Khalifa (Lville, if eligible), Nick Davidson (Clem), and Ndjie (ND) are a few others
Ugo was most recently in Miami. I think heās probably already in Cville and just hasnāt posted yet.

Not that concerned with TDR or GrĆ¼nloh arriving until later, given their pro experience (and ability to adapt quickly to change, I assume), but itād be better for Ugo to have plenty of time to get used to playing with the other two main bigs.

The military is a familyā¦ I will make fun of my sister services to no end, but at the same time, I will defend them to the end to anyone who tries to mess with them that has not served.
As someone who helps mentor & recruit for the Air Force Academy, when a student calls me and tells me they have decided to go to West Point or the Naval Academyā¦ I tell them Iām proud of them and that we need great leaders in all branches of our Armed Services, but I will also make fun of them to no end as the Air Force is the best service.

I know, I know - just trying to establish some inter-service rivalry! You did much better in the Air Force than I did in the Navy.

This is wildā¦ the Greenbrier event is NOT a tournament. Just an event with pre-scheduled matchups.

From a fan perspective, I donāt hate it. That way if you want to go, you can book your hotels and tickets and thereās no uncertainty about it

Who was the other team? So Carolina?
South Carolina is likely gonna be the worst team in the field anyway, so I guess it works out for us. Still though, weird itās not a tournament.

Yeah glad we play Butler. They could be sneaky good. Northwestern doesnāt look like much - on paper at least

I dunno, I quite enjoyed watching Bennettās teams win MTE after MTE for give or take 10 straight years starting in 2013. I know we flamed out of the last couple, but still. Everyone else gets an actual bracketed event for their MTEs.

Actually, hold the phone, Northwestern returns Martinelli, the leading score in the Big Ten last year. So they at least have some star power.

Yeah, this is dumb. Make it a real tourney, everyone still gets 2 games.UVA/SC Bulter/NW were the no brainer first match ups.

Think this is because Butler and NW are already scheduled to play in a neutral-site one-off in Indy.

Hmm, then thatās on the tourney. One of them should not have been included.
