I am willing to bet he gets 8 minutes per if he lands at a P4 school this fall.. He wants to play more he should go to a mid tier.

An additional 50 to 60 minutes in preseason wouldn't have mattered one iota. He was lost in ACC play. I think the kid was ****ed because he was getting 5 to 8 minutes per during the 10 games losing streak. He got 21 minutes against Duke in a blow out loss.

I was referring to Nwoko. My point is international play is not nearly as physical.

International play. How is it working out for Aire?

No need to recruit a project. Plenty of kids in the portal who can be role players especially mid tier kids who can give real minutes without being a liability.

I think Jim's lessons learned is recruiting a kid like Jekiri or Uzundu are no longer possible. Nwoko leaving did us a favor. He was more likely to be a locker room issue next year. On that note, any movement on Casey or Watson?

In his last interview, it was obvious Jim was ****ed. At times Nwoko was unplayable especially early in the season. He couldn't even finish with bunnies. He was lost on defense. That being said he was on schedule to get major minutes this fall, possibly even work his way into the starting...

International play. Much more physical in ACC play. He gave a solid 8 minutes for a first year player. Casey and Watson were supposed to step up. They did not.

He is a lower mid major talent. He played a little more late because we were a total ****show and Watson was clearly in the doghouse.

100%. He showed at times he can be a rim protector and a willing rebounder. He was lost in man. Definitely a work in progress. He had the potential to start for us next year. At this point, we are better off pulling in a mid-major, upperclassmen big.

I get it. He is a good kid and a very popular player. Just know why he thinks the grass is greener elsewhere.

Yes, but we are not going to make the mistake of waiting.

Green isn't always greener. I get it if he going to be stuck on the bench but that is definitely not going to be the case. A good off season and he was going to start for us next year.

If he lands quickly elsewhere, then the fix is in. The kid was going to start next fall.

He wasn't all that great this year defensively. Maybe too many minutes to keep up his energy.

We did not have 1 player on our roster from the 20/21 10-17 team that was decimated by injury. This year's players never faced adversity before and when they did they folded. Jim brought up Sam came back for a 6th year because he did not want to leave the program in the state it was in after...

You think playing time is an issue? I think he will test the waters and see what the NBA tells him to work on.

Actually, I think it was a fair interview and I listened to it objectively. Honestly, I'm not sure Jim is all that upset with who officially is in the portal. He came off as somewhat relieved. I think you have 5 who are going to test the NBA waters: (1) Omier, (2) Pack, (3) Cleveland, (4) Poplar...

K State lost 10 of 12 scholarship players and went to Elite 8. We wanted it blown up well here we go. The chemistry and me first was very apparent on this squad.
