Chase hasn't been the same since barreling into Badger defenders drive after drive. After that, things really seemed to unravel. What could've been a meaningful season for the seniors turned into a total disappointment. The silver lining is the promising future of a few young guys.

I'm surprised no has made the Jujuan Johnson comparison with Ross. As a senior, Ross is 15 ppg, 4 rpg, 3 apg, while Johnson was 12, 4, 3. Excellent athleticism, not a great feel for the game. Questionable effort at times.

Similarly, I could see Chase exploding in in the Big East tournament for a 25 point game, or being an absolute ghost. Which is what you don't want from your marquee senior.

My question would be... can he actually play? (Like, play well?)

the ONE thing the NCAA has been consistent about with these G League guys is the 5 year clock.

Plenty with this team, aina?

Yes, we are bad in a bad league.

Quote from: muwarrior69 on Today at 10:00:37 AMIf the coach is not going to cut them why would any of them leave if they're being paid and getting a 70+K scholarship. You really think they'll wind up better elsewhere?

It's certainly a possibility, especially for Tre and Caedin. 

After all of Sean's injuries, I could see him wanting the opportunity to actually play extended minutes.  I could certainly see a mid-major giving him that chance. 

If he doesn't play again this season, I could also see him trying to get another year of eligibility (but not sure how likely that would be). 

Outside of UConn, St. John's and Villanova, the league just isn't good this year and too many teams are in a "rebuilding" phase (which is a poor excuse in today's NIL/portal era, as there really shouldn't be a rebuilding phase for any high-major-level program).  We have our own disappointing situation this season, but there simply are too many bad teams in the conference this season (and the difference between #11 and #6 is relatively small). 

Interesting tidbit from Yahoo Sports:

Longtime MLB reliever David Robertson — a 2009 World Series champion with the Yankees — announced his retirement on Friday, leaving a nearly unprecedented vacuum in the sport: For just the second time since New York's inaugural title in 1923, there's not a single active player who won a ring with the Bronx Bombers. The only other time that happened? 1995.

The Yankees' current 16-year World Series drought is just one shy of their longest ever (1979-95), not including the 21 years it took to win their first championship. 10 teams have won a title since New York's most recent in 2009: Dodgers (3x), Giants (3x), Astros (2x), Red Sox (2x), Rangers, Braves, Nationals, Royals, Cubs and Cardinals.

I would love to have as much retention as possible.  But we've now seen what happens when your senior class is average to below average and your junior class is a complete zero. 

I'm not a fan of telling a kid who wants to be here to pack his bags.  However, RGV is useless without the "V" and I think we need two open spots going into the offseason. 

We have one with Zaide's departure.  I'm not sure why Sean would want to come back to play 10 MPG behind Nigel.  There's your two spots and we'll see what happens with Hamilton and Norman. 

If the coach is not going to cut them why would any of them leave if they're being paid and getting a 70+K scholarship. You really think they'll wind up better elsewhere?

...but we have superior talent according to some here. Yes a 180 would be appreciated.
