Kolek planning to go pro
Shaka is really high on EE the person. Said he's grown a ton and never really had great stability in his life, and that EE loves the family nature of the MU program. I don't think EE would want to leave, nor that Shaka would encourage him to leave.Next year could be a logjam at guard position for sure, but in 2024-2025 some time will open up with Kolek's departure.
The bottom line is that one current player will not be with us next year - two if Shaka wants to add a big via transfer. There is not a current player who has a chance of getting drafted (including Oso and Omax) so that means one or two have to transfer.Ellis would seem likely, but I agree that, given Shaka's comments about him, it will be entirely his choice. And, Ellis may be able to play the 3. Since we have seen so little of him, we really have no idea what his potential is. Ross also looks like he can play the 3 if he can shoot consistently.
Isn't Kolek still eligible to play in 24-25? I hate speculating which player will get cut, but Itjere who is not injured is the 10th guy coming off the bench and only when the game is no longer in doubt?
I honestly forgot Ellis is on the team….What’s his situation again ?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
It's possible Ben Gold is a one-and-done player and turns pro professionally in Australia. I think Shaka must know something before he "overbooked" - a la United Airlines business model. That, or Oso graduating in three years and turning pro in Europe are my two best guesses. Either way, I think there is something known already at this point.
Doesn’t make sense to me in regards to Gold. There would be no point in bringing in a guy who was likely to make minimal impact in his first year if there was any expectation he wouldn’t stick around multiple years.
Excellent point.
I believe Sean will be taking koleks starting pg position at some point in the conference season. Might be good for kolek as well to get him back into the sg role.
