All this talk of Kam being gone - you guys must have missed the press conference yesterday. He thanked Oso and Tyler for their contributions and setting the bar in terms of culture and said, "it's time for us to continue that culture into next year".

Kam is back.

I noticed that as well but really don't think it means anything, especially minutes after a brutal loss.

Agreed - he'll go through the NBA evaluation and see what kind of feedback he gets before making a decision.

Think we will be about 5-6 in next years big east.   Ben isn't a center.  He needs to get tougher and get stronger hands.  He lost alot of rebounds this year.
Stevie should practice about 100 3 pts shots a day in the summer.
Jolpin should practice dribbling, ft's.  Getting quicker.
Tre has to practice outside shooting.

I have us at 9 unless Stevie takes 200 3's a day, then I have them at 8

I use UConn as the benchmark. I had them as repeat champs from day 1. Hurley has it rolling and simply reloads. So...What will we have next season to stay with UConn? For me, that's the question.

You don't simply replace a Clingan - he is the ultimate game changer for them - they will be good once again, but will take a step back.

UConn will revert back to their 2022-2023 level of play...

Fair points regarding Kam. He'll go through the process, obviously.

I don't see a team promising to take him in the 1st. So is being a potential 2nd rounder enough?  It certainly could be but I think there's a solid chance he's back.

Of course there's a solid chance I'm completely wrong.
Kam's current situation reminds me some of your moniker...Vander Blue. Wasn't Vander Blue getting feedback of going late 1st or 2nd? Didn't get drafted...ended up a G-League mvp, btw, but not more than a cup of coffee in the Association? Hopefully, if Kam goes through the advice process, said advice is sound. I want him back, of course,  but understand if he goes pro if projected as a draft pick.

Only if they can bring Clingan off the bench.

Creighton, Hall, X, UConn are all retooling, so is MU and St. John's, league wide open for next year, MU adds any offensive player they will be fine.

Vander was pretty much done with school regardless of the feedback.  Most projected him to be undrafted.

That feedback was from his own head. If all 3 leave, really hope they all get drafted. Would be a huge bummer if Kam left and went undrafted.

Vander Blue Man Group

I know Kam will make an educated decision with his family and Shaka based on the feedback he receives.

I wonder if how things have gone for Justin Lewis will have any impact. Probably not but it's not that different of a situation.

I could be wrong, but I think you always take the first chance you get to make the league. The gamble of coming back seems high to me, but time will tell.

I mean the bigger gamble could easily be going pro(hence the need for feed back)

TK is gone. Thats a lot of NIL money open for Kam. He can make a lot of money coming back. Hes guaranteed nothing if hes a 2nd rounder in money or opportunity. See Lewis, Justin(and he was right to go).

I dont think it means everything. But I know his intention right now is to be back. If he gets some crazy guarantee or kills it in the draft process, sure he could go.

But right now its much more likely hes back.

Stevie made a comment in a interview I think with Fanta before the tourney alluding to it as well.

And I keep saying it. People really under estimate that friendship. Kam isnt gonna toss a professional career away for it. But hes also not gonna make an irrational decision to leave either.

Yep, and Justin going undrafted was a surprise.  And then the terrible luck of tearing an ACL.

Agree completely regarding the NIL opportunities if Kam comes back both because he'd be the clear go-to guy on the team plus he's just a really likable, fun dude.

PGsHeroes32

I should also add, since over the last two years people have tossed in the "if Kam doesnt transfer" possibility as well.

I can say with 100% certainty. There is a better chance he flat out doesnt even go through draft process and returns to MU then he transfers somehwere.

They are losing their top 5 or 6 players, which is more than we are. We should have a head start on them. Our incoming classes are very similar. It'll be interesting to see what both programs do in the offseason to remain BE contenders next year. You can probably throw Creighton in there as well in terms of being in a similar position.
Care to wager on which team fares better next year?
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind.

Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Agreed.  If Kam comes back, need 2 impact portal transfers. An experienced big and point guard. That would keeps us top 25 next year top 3 Big East.

If Kam comes back I think they can be a top 25'ish team with no impact portal transfers.

Top 10 if Kam comeback and he adds a scorer

A lot depends on T+ Z producing as Sophs and what we pick up out of the portal. I do expect good things out of Ben

Exactly. Shaka will reload next year.
