I agree he wouldn't have changed much.  I just don't care for the "only played 38 minutes theme".  I think that is more on the former coach than the kid. 

Might as well go back one year and say it's incredible how far he's come from High School.  Or go back four years from that and say from Eighth grade.

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on October 18, 2026, 06:21:58 PMOso signs 3 year extension for $29 milllion

Phoenix Suns center Oso Ighodaro has agreed to a three-year, $29 million contract extension through the 2030-31 season, his agent Erika Ruiz of Primera Sports tells ESPN.

The Suns are picking up Oso Ighodaro's $2.5M
team option for 2027-28, so the extension starts in 2028 and runs through 2031 for the franchise's second-round find who has established into a reliable center.

It is literally just a fact. Not sure why you think anyone was blaming him for it.

Quote from: Shooter McGavin on October 18, 2026, 09:45:24 PMOk.  Then say he was injured.  People are using "he only played 38 min his freshman year" as an example of how players develop, even if they are objectively way less gifted than Oso. 

It's tiresome.

He didn't start as a sophomore either under Shaka and averaged 5 PPG.

Could start to see the potential though.

Quote from: The Sultan on October 18, 2026, 10:03:51 PMHe wasn't all that much as a sophomore either.

Not so fast my friend.  In 2022, Oso ranked 28th in the Big East in BPR (+3.99).  Among Marquette players, only Justin Lewis ranked higher at 25th (+4.08).

Oso's sophomore performance was starting caliber.  Of course, his game made the leap to star caliber as a junior and senior.

Oso... career 48% FT shooter. Would have gotten a max deal if he hit at a 70% clip.

What an odd turn this took.  Anyway, congratulations, Oso.  I appreciate how far you have come and how you did it.

It was.  I apologize actually.  For some reason  I have always been irritated Wojo chose to sit a 6'"11" athletic freak on the bench for a year and people conflate it with normal development.  And even go so far as saying the same could happen with players much less gifted because "it happened with Oso".  So his freshman year to me was due to coaching malpractice not a testament to how far he developed from freshman to sophomore year. 

In the end, it was one of a series of events that led us to Shaka.  And Kudos to Oso for working so hard on his game from the day he was born to a contract extension in the NBA.  Will always be a fan.

Like all of us, tower sometimes states his opinion. When he does, he usually makes it quite clear that it was his opinion.

In this particular case, it was just a fact, nothing more: Not all that long after playing only 38 minutes as a Marquette freshman, Oso has improved so much that he has been given a well-earned, life-altering NBA contract. After being challenged, tower  expounded on that, and there was no reason to believe he had any kind of ulterior motive.

Lots and lots of irrelevant facts in Oso's life could be named as well.
