    Who stays. Who goes

    I can see him being a high volume scorer at ASU, Ole Miss, Temple and St. Johns. If he heads to Kentucky, Kansas or Villanova, odds are he will be a secondary scorer, but get a ton of minutes. The question is what matters more to him. Personal glory(But being on a crap team), or maybe being a...

    Who stays. Who goes

    He also started breaking down defensively, and that used to be something he did well. It's like he got frustrated because he wasn't what he thought he'd be offensively and it bled into his overall game. It was weird, but unless someone I trust gives me the scoop, I will not call a guy a...

    Who stays. Who goes

    I wouldn't call it a roster management failure, a lot of people, including NBA scouts/GMs wanted to see how his game evolved as he developed. There wasn't any indication that he wouldn't thrive with additional opportunities, seeing how the light came on for him during last year's Final Four...

    Who stays. Who goes

    He also has a solid relationship with L, L has always been his biggest supporter. That said, he may not be prepared to go back to being a bench guy, especially when he's seen what he can be when he's right mentally. I wish him well, but chemistry is a thing and you can't have a guy that isn't...

    Who stays. Who goes

    Unless you have legit insider information, you may want to hold off on calling dudes cancers. Amazing how when he was a guy comfortable in his role, he was hustling, high energy guy that L loved. As his role changed, injuries piled up and he started pressing, and you could see that he mentally...

    Who stays. Who goes

    He'll love the uptempo style, dude lives to defend 94 feet. That said, Pitino wouldn't ask him to score much, just defend. Not as much offensive freedom with Pitino, he still runs the offense himself through the PG, compared to L, who wants his PG to be able to take control and manage on his...

    Who stays. Who goes

    Again, JAGs weren't going to change the trajectory of this season. Adding 1-2 more Djobet/Robinson level players weren't going to make this team better in the slightest. Miami needed QUALITY, and that is tough to come by because QUALITY wants guaranteed minutes, and with so many key pieces...

    Who stays. Who goes

    Every program has a couple of schollies unfilled. This isn’t football. Keep in mind, the guys that would have been fine possibly getting no PT are guys none of us would have wanted. Adding bodies just to add them isn’t the brilliant move people think it is.

    Who stays. Who goes

    A lot of portal guys looked at guys like Wooga and Bens and were like "Those dudes are returning and they are going to get minutes, where will my minutes come from?" That was a big issue. Early in the season when Wooga was rolling, that looked like a good decision by those portal guards and...

    Who stays. Who goes

    It's amazing how people just pick narratives and run with them, facts be damned. L isn't making excuses, he's pointing out something that dozens of coaches have noted, that the AAU/Transfer Portal culture hurts a lot more kids than it helps. L, through words and deeds supports player movement...

    Who stays. Who goes

    Cleveland leaving will come down to whether he is graduating. If he isn't, he's coming back. That said, George is a tough one. Logic indicates he should return, but I wouldn't be shocked if L told him "If you come back, I need you to buy into the program, and be committed. If you can't give...

    Who stays. Who goes

    Guys I want to stay(and are likely to) Bens--I think he will accept being first man off the bench, a role he thrives in Omier--The NBA isn't going anywhere, and honestly, I think he enjoys college. Wooga--I know that he struggled, but I find it hard to believe dude is permanently broken. He...
