2018-19 College Hoops

Yeah, a lot of those guys aren't going pro, but how do you watch that and say it was a bad game? It was great.

Awesome game. For a "boring" team, UVA had ridiculous amounts of drama throughout their run.

I kinda agree with this, I don't like replay overturning that call with a minute left. That happens 100 times outside of the last two minutes and 100 times it's Texas Tech's ball and nobody second guesses it for a second.

EDIT: And Moretti was fouled before the ball was knocked out.

It's one of those deals where I don't think that's the way replay was intended to be used but it's a result of the replay system because without abiding by the absolute letter of the law, you let too much subjectivity enter the equation.

But like, if you slow it down enough, basically any time a player knocks the ball out of another player's hands, it technically leaves the original player's hand last; that's basically just the physics of it all. Unless the UVA defender literally scoops the ball out of the TTU guy's hand, it's almost always going to technically touch some part of the TTU guy last. It sucks to see calls like that but at the same time, I understand why that's the way it has to be done if you're going to have a replay system.

Mullin is leaving St. John's. Hopefully UW takes a look at their 3 star JUCO who decommitted to replace Strickland.

I don't think that one is going to happen. They're definitely looking at JUCOs/transfers, though.

They should be going after David Jenkins Jr from SDSU but don’t think that’s happening.

I'm sure they'll reach out and he'll end up at Kansas or some other blueblood that needs to plug a starting hole.

Look, you and others have various forms of, "they need to recruit ______" or, "Trice and Davison suck so bad, we need an upgrade."

There's a middle ground here. There are 350 teams going after these guys, 20-30 of them with a higher pedigree or "need" (at least) for the elite transfers.

If Wisconsin just says, "**** it, we're not going after anyone" and they miss the tournament with no depth, flame away. Let's see what happens. They're contacting a lot of transfers right now.

If Potter was available right now, he'd probably be a top 15 caliber transfer. Top transfers go to places with a an extreme need (Texas Tech needed to fill their entire lineup going into this year) or to chase a championship as a 6th man or starter. The Badgers have actually already obtained one of these guys in the "extreme need" category with Potter last year given that they needed a starting big or at the very least strong rotation big.

Final point: "the grass is always greener." I'm sure if Wisconsin talked Jenkins into coming and pushed away one of their starters, they might be better. And by all accounts, they are reaching out to those guys. But there will be hundreds of transfers that the armchair fan is going to pine for because "Trice and Davison suck" and I guarantee that the transfer from UC-Santa Barbara actually sucks even more. There are like 15 elite transfers most years (maybe a few more if you count sit-out transfers) and beyond that, these guys are way worse than one thinks (and Trice/Davison are better than given credit for even if not elite B10 starters).

I see the Badgers are looking at Duquesne transfer Eric Williams. Would be nice to get a big guard on the roster.

Exactly. College ball will be fine if they get rid of 1 and done. It can't come soon enough. It's the right thing for the kids and it can only help in taking some of the BS out of the college game/recruiting.

Has to sit out for a year, though. But would be helpful to basically replace Pritzl's minutes next year (or more) and then be a main starting wing the following year.

Tyler Herro is staying in the draft.
