2023 Team Outlook

[panda]

He's a long term project skinny, athletic, big. He's the type of player programs like MU need to take flyers on and frankly is very low risk/high reward as he's basically the last scholarship player on the roster. Heck half the time that scholly would go to a cam marotta type.

Calling him a wasted scholarship because he doesn't contribute his redshirt freshman season is shortsighted.

[MUfan12]

Teams don't go 12 and 13 deep. Guys will either develop or move on. Hardly a waste of a scholarship.

Even by Scoop standards this is really dumb.

[Spotcheck Billy]

I believe we are under the scholarship limit this year and we were also last year. Therefore, he has not been a wasted scholarship. Next year we are one over, so something has to happen.

This.
WI usually ends up promoting a walkon to fill their last schollies.

Is there an official Scoop Level of a Dumbness Meter?

Well....

Aww!

Like the crystal ball, I'm never wrong

An example from 25 years ago that also doesn't meet the criteria I set since coming off his red shirt year he averaged 5 points 3 boards in 11 minutes per game.  Again, my expectations for Keeyan are not exactly sky high.  It just seems like some people are expecting a Yous Mbao level of production out of him.

McCaskil went from being a non-factor to being an NBA player. That is why I thought of him.

Chris Crawford

Naming a lot of my classmates!

Chris Crawford

He got better every year. I think he injured his knee when he was in the NBA. However, he was considered a much better prospect than McCaskil was coming out of high school. Hopefully, Shaka is finding hidden gems like these two players.

And, if I remember correctly, he didn't use a scholarship because the Astros paid his way. <I maybe incorrect>

Guy drove me crazy. He'd catch a pass at the top of the key, shuffle his feet and drain a "3" that wouldn't count due to a traveling violation. Frequently.

you are correct, Astros covered tuition. Crawford had a few good NBA seasons too. Went for 40 a game or two. Atlanta, as I recall

[PointWarrior]

Are you sure Mike Deane did not adopt him to save a scholarship?

Lol.  Forgot about that "Crawford shuffle."  It was perplexing, but funny retrospectively.

Anyone hear about the scrimmage at all?

Sean Jones, huh?

First test against a Big East bruiser didn't go well.

Alston is a tougher guard than Golden and both seemed to have their way down low. There won't be much resistance from Marquette near the rim against prominent bigs.

MU team this year is the skinniest group in years, and he keeps on recruiting lanky skinny kids???

Well...seems Loyala had their hands full with the quickness of Kam Jones and Sean Jones.  Kam with 27 leading all scorers.

[MuggsyB]

Who won the scrimmage?  I have confidence in Jones & Jones.  Bryce Golden is still playing?
