Richmond is likely landing at St. John's as well, been that way for a while. If they got a kid from college that's not Demin I think it would be someone not named Richmond.

That being said, I think there is a better than 50% chance we get Demin right now

Add in that Toma is likely cheaper than Dain and it's kind of a masterclass in positional roster building.

Not sure Toma is cheaper than Dain in the long term....however he gets his due. He shoots twice the percentage from the FT line and evidently is aware of his teammates and willing to find them at the arc. Love Dain, but his failures in those areas plus inconsistent defense made him just avg. too often.

What about Booth? Isn’t it more likely that Hum plays at the 3 and Morez /Booth fight for minutes at the 4?

The numbers are really meaningless. Both booth and Hum can play on the perimeter. They might play some at the same time or one of them next to Tre/Ty.

Morez will likely split minutes with Ivisic since Ivisic and get the majority of him minutes that way since Ivisic probably won't average more than 22-23 minutes a night.

No offense...but your view of Lanier seems like it's basically the faulty-eyed perspective of: played in a cupcake conference so just f-it.

...which is not the way to go about this...

As much as the turnover was painful, it's great to see where we landed & I will be VERY interested in watching WVU & Memphis games this year.

I'm curious to know from the insiders if this is anywhere close to where you saw this offseason going 2 months ago. Trust the staff, but this has been wild.

We could have used a Dainja here. Also, DGL should get tick especially when we need quickness.

“Serbian” and “Croatian” are the same language, except one is written in Cyrillic letters while the other is written in Latin letters (it was called “Serbo-Croatian”; calling it “Serbian” or “Croatian” is more a way of trying to assert more distinct national identity). Just saying

I was correcting the false narrative that he is Serbian. As two distinct countries and cultures with a history of bitter conflict and resentments, it’s important to make the distinction. Any Croatian would be offended by conflating them. Just saying

I’ve seen a few references to Serbia.

FYI, Tomislav is Croatian. They speak Croatian. Beautiful country on the Adriatic. Game of Thrones was filmed there.

Serbia is landlocked and they speak Serbian.

Serbia and Croatia have been separate countries since Yugoslavia broke up in 1991.

My apologies. I am very aware of Croatia.. A beautiful country that I hope to visit one day.
I appreciate the correction. I am sure Tomislav is a proud Croatian.
