Phillips confirms he is back

[Vander Blue Man Group]

That never happened, but ok!

Making a claim and then being vague about it is as annoying as it gets.

If you've heard something, sack up and spill it.

I like MP, it's about finding his role with extended mins.  I think he has to improve his handles and overall success off the bounce.

He has to improve his defense.

Yes.  True dat. 

[SchnitzelBoy]

I think his defense will be the thing he improves the most. The game will slow down for him and he'll have another year of D1 film/coaching. He'a also going to put on another 15-20 lbs od muscle to fill out that frame.

Has Ramsey announced he is coming back? 

I heard Ramsey donated all his NIL earnings to an orphanage.

Have said it before, but I'm telling myself (and I really believe it) that MPII is still another season away from being 'really ready' defensively. Doesn't mean he won't play next year, but don't think he can have extended minutes unless there's a crazy transformation in defensive ability. I think that's still another year away.

That said, with other *potential* shooters getting a chance next year (e.g., Ian and Nash both redshirted already), plus let's see who transfers in, there's a scenario where a redshirt for MPII makes sense, if he's interested in that. Not a bad idea if he's a guy who wants to stay in the program for years to come (and I hope he does).

Ive had the same thought.  Think he can be really good as an upperclassmen but not yet next year.  A ways to go on defense and physically still.

A redshirt not only gives him  a year to fill out and get back into the class with guys his own age, but it also gets him out of Nigel and Stevens class where it would be tough to ever be more than a strong role player.  That 5th year he could potentially take on a true featured role on the offensive end if he keeps developing.  Or at least that's how I would sell it.

He's either leaving or returning. What don't you get?

Sounds like a certain cat that a guy Schrödinger had

It actually did, and you doubled-down on it, too.

Again, why are you certain that Clark isn't coming back?

Find where I said I guaranteed it. You won't, because you can't.

I said I didn't think Shaka would keep Sean on the bench and risk losing him in the offseason. I was wrong. I never guaranteed anything.

You're ignoring the question regarding Clark again.

You sure seemed certain, and in more than one post. But anyhoo ... why are you certain Clark is gone?

[Farley36]

None of this matters with Shaka back.
