    My take, Boswell >>> Ty KJ <<< TSJ Tre << Domask Humr>> Quincy Ivisic<< Coleman DGL>Harmon Jake<Luke Ty>>>Nico Booth = Amani Morez>Dain I could see Morez starting over Ivisic. Worse starters, better bench. 5th or 6th in BigTen, Lose in second round of NCAA Tourney. Not gonna happen but I'd...

    Will JK be playing in this tourney? I still think the whiff is in waiting to land a big fish instead of having a sense of urgency to do so early in the portal. Now were paying big fish money for a mid tier fish.

    Agreed. I think the staff holding off on landing a big fish was a blunder. I still trust in Brad and I'll reserve final judgement. Money can magically make other things go away. I'm sure an extra $100K could have helped. We were in the driver's seat on that one, until we weren't
