I’m with you.

You can’t speed him up. His challenge, like most players, is against long, athletic defenders like Stephon Castle at UConn who they played in round 1 of the tourney. Which is why I thought him going to Northwestern and playing iso-ball was a mistake compared to UM where shots are distributed...

I’m biased of course but I think Jalen has as good a mid range jumper as anyone in college basketball. He had a great coach/trainer/parent in his dad who taught all his boys how to score at all 3 levels and with both hands.

YES SIR!!!

Its amazing. I just wish we already knew the schedule so I can start buying plane tickets. To have a family member play at the school you love is more than I could have asked for.

Yes he was and still feels he was robbed. Alford was the pre-season player of the year and James felt that once Alford was on the magazine covers the dye was cast. The 2 of them remained on good terms. When they played 2 games as Indiana All-stars against the Kentucky All-stars, Alford was...

Thank you all for the well wishes. I was in a weird place in this recruitment in that I felt UM was the best place for Jalen but I couldn’t push him too hard because in the end it’s his life to live. So I tried to present facts and info on both sides and just equip him with information. But I...

Let me be clear that the NIL deal for my nephew is very strong, and frankly better than Nova, Cal and Northwestern. And i don’t believe this is unique to my nephew. SoI’m extrapolating from my nephew’s experience that UM has a strong NIL program. But i think my assessment is fair.

Should be a good day today in Coral Gables.

I can’t tell you how much I m dying to do just that.

It is the other way around from our understanding. Jalen will get the first opportunity. I am expecting a final decision within the next 48 hours. FYI, the UM coaches have done a great job of recruiting Jalen. Regardless of the final decision, the family loves UM’s coaching staff. Yesterday...

Seems like from a recent conversation with my nephew that it will be one or the other.

This is precisely the issue.

The only real advantage is that NU only has 1-2 open spots on their roster so they can assure Jalen that he is the last piece, whereas UM has 5 spots to fill.

A few updates about my nephew. 1. He is down to Miami and Northwestern 2. Miami is definitely not NIL poor. NIL will not be a reason he goes to NU over UM 3. Miami is making every effort and sending a coach to meet with my nephew today at Stetson 4. I am still staying out of this unless I am...

I have not heard about what UM expects George to do but my impression is that UM has a lot of spots open at guard.

I’m going to take @Da Jumbo Mutombo advice and provide the following info. @Pentagon Cane hit the nail on the head. UM does not expect Wooga back. He’s either playing pro ball next year (NBA/G-League or Europe) or college ball somewhere other than UM UM expects Cleveland to return Omier’s...

Really. Why do you feel this way and with such conviction? Was it because of the underwhelming season?

I think so as well. As of now UM is seen as highest risk (playing time) and highest reward as UM expects to make the tourney every season under Coach L (L made it clear that he considered this season an anomaly in large part due to injuries). Northwestern is considered low risk (guaranteed...

That list is disconnected from reality
