Gone:
KJ Lawson
Charlie Moore
Good as gone:
Dedric Lawson
Silvio De Sousa
Probably gone:
Azubuike
Could make a stupid decision and leave early:
Grimes
We currently have 2 signees:
#93 Braun 4*
#104 Isaac McBride 4*
In other words, Self better pull his typical late signing period rabbit out of his ass, or there is going to be more of the same next year.
Look for some graduate transfers. Maybe we should go the Gonzaga route. Find some highly skilled international guys. [Reply]

I don’t believe I said Dedric didn’t work. He was great.
Obviously, we don’t get Dedric without KJ too.
I think we’d agree that Moore’s spot on the roster would’ve been better filled by a lower ranked recruit that could be a nice rotational player in a year or two. That’s my point.
I just brought up KJ, because he really didn’t give us any consistent play and he’s gone after playing for 1 year. [Reply]

Are we really expected to believe that Zion needed $100 grand to go to an Adidas school, but went to Duke for free?
I mean, isn't that probable cause enough to at least take a tiny little looksey?
Did Zion’s mom get $100K? Or is it still Avenatti the only one saying that? [Reply]

We should switch to whoever is best at dodging the bullet. I want out of Adidas. Great products but the relationship is hardly about that.

Ooorrr. Maybe dont cheat.
Obviously, you shouldn’t cheat...buuut I think we all believe that the cheating is far more rampant than what’s been made public.
If you’re a 1 and done, why wouldn’t you take money? You’re only in college for a year anyway. If you get caught, so what? It won’t hurt your draft stock much.
There really isn’t much incentive for a major coach at a big name program to run a completely clean program. If he misses top recruits and starts losing, he’ll get fired. If he gets caught, it’ll likely be a slap on the wrist or it’ll go away completely. If you get punished bad enough, just take an NBA job. [Reply]

The foul on the 3 was a good call. Ballsy that kid hit all 3 of those to win the game. Tough situation to make free throws in and he nailed them.
But, if that double dribble is called, that foul likely never happens. [Reply]
