MONSTER. I said I liked this kids film almost as much as the Bosas when they were at STA...still an "almost", but it's getting closer. This kid is a 5* and it should be unanimous, insanely talented with great technique and still has plenty of upside and room to grow on his frame. Absolutely violent and explosive. I love everything about this kid's game.

Now ESPN should crop him out of the whole show.

Would have expected that Tiger has his own protection at all times, merely add driving duties to those. Problem solved. Not like he's looking behind sofa cushions for change....

Big Ask. Could someone more literate than I put together a class on one axis, and weight/name on another to see where all these folk land? Know the degree of difficulty is increased by '5x5' and NIL incentives, but would be thankful. Thanks in advance.

FWIW - he seems like a good man and a good coach. He's not long for Kalamazoo

And also maybe we've got a 'big man' coach. Thought I imagined our bigs play got better when Odem was on the bench. Maybe Jared will be helping out underneath improve our face-up and back-to-basket play by our 4's and 5's.
