Hard to adjust when your defense is predicated on being a tight physical defense and the refs show up deciding to call a foul whenever one of your defenders was within 2 feet of an Arizona player... Shadow fouls...Yep...we didn't adjust very well ....the stripes had their whistles that day and intended to use them
This guy gets it.The Kentucky, Duke, Kansas’s have had to deal with having a handful of 5 stars on the team where they all can’t be the alpha for decades now- we just have to get used to this- our pitch is no longer “come here to be the man”. It’s going to be “come here to play in the best offensive system in the country with other highly talented players so defenses can’t focus on you and you will get drafted based on the skills you show not your stats”
Castle just got drafted in the top 5 after his freshman season for his skills even though he was UConn’s 5th leading scorer and didn’t lead them in any statistical category
We just need to get guys that buy into that mentality- be on a great team with great players around you and everyone looks better
The genius move, to me, for the four-stars especially, is reclassify, collect NIL, and redshirt. That way they're freshmen when they were gonna be freshmen anyway, but will be ahead of the curve, development-wise (and education-wise if that matters). I think the one big limitation still in place is that players only have four years to audition for the NBA, so they need to make them count.couldn't agree with this prolific Illini fan more:
good landing spot for Langdon, IMO

LOL you forgot the /s
And since he is reclassifying- where does he get playing time?
Anything is better than $0Not sure how much NIL a redshirt player will be able to collect.
I think that if the player was to redshirt, there would be a clause written in the contract that said player is also committing to play next year, or else has to repay his NIL money.Not sure how much NIL a redshirt player will be able to collect.

Even negative numbers...as in pay to play?Anything is better than $0
I would bet they could collect a pretty good sum for a redshirt season to get them in the program and keep them around for a couple years after.Not sure how much NIL a redshirt player will be able to collect.

The recruit might collect 50-100k, gets to start practicing and working out with a D1 program and get a head start on a degree(keep in mind the vast majority of recruits even top 100 ones won't play professionally and even the ones that do may only last a few years). They get this while also maintaining 4 years of eligibility to earn NIL while in college.
The school benefits by getting some recruits that would typically go to bigger schools but they can entice them with a payday and redshirt season with an open roster spot. Which helps spread talent around between schools instead of situations where you see top 100 guys go and ride the bench at blue bloods.
How far do you think?....Riley barely dropped...He's only 35ish because he hasn't been reclassified to 2024 in the rankings. He should drop a good amount once that happens.
You might be thinking of his brother. /sis this the kid who's parents are alum?
He likely won't stay top 50...How far do you think?....Riley barely dropped...
He likely won't stay top 50...
which is what makes this "why are we willing to take Jasper but not Fears" topic so silly.
Jasper will most likely remain a five star if reclasses and at worst no less than top 25 vs a guy that likely will be in the 55-60ish range...
JJ is at least as skinny as Jeremiah. I don't think body composition is that big of a factor (especially since they're guards). JJ's game is just more advanced.Putting rankings and potential reclass rankings aside.. Jeremiah’s body just isn’t ready for P5 CBB. It’s a grown man’s game, especially w/ so many 4-5 year players staying in college. So he’s a thanks but no thanks for ‘24 for me.
Reminds me of Khristian Lander, slight-of-frame 5️ Indiana commit who got bullied hard in his very limited playing time.
