Article from today on The Athletic:

Some quotes that stood out to me:
On Osunniyi:
"We think he can facilitate some offense. And then also we’re going to empower him to shoot the 3, which he hadn’t done yet in his career. But we feel like with his stroke and the work he’s put in, he’s made a lot of progress there. So it’s something we’re going to ask of him offensively."
How to improve offensively:
"We turn people over a lot. We’ve got to do a better job scoring off turnovers than we did last year. So that’s specifically scoring in advantage situations, converting and transition, that sort of thing. I also think we need to keep the ball on the move a little bit more, and not be as apt to catch and hold, catch and dribble. Get it side to side, get the defense to force more closeouts. And I think the third way is on the offensive glass we can be more effective"
On the freshman:
"They’ll all earn minutes for us this year. They all will. On one end of it, based on what happened last year in the Big 12, that’s scary because there were really only three freshmen that played in the entire league last year."
On the 2023 Recruiting class:
"You can sell hope or you can sell what it’s going to be like. And I think when people see it work, then that creates a different level of belief in what can actually happen."
On the Tyrese situation and how to avoid it:
"Part of the challenge with Tyrese was that he signed with the previous coaching staff. So we didn’t have the time out in front to build that relationship and that trust quite the same way as you do in a normal recruiting process. It was speed dating. So we didn’t have that same investment in one another that you normally have."

Cadillac vs Lincoln
Browsing cars online is a bit of a hobby of mine. Sometime down the road I'd like to buy either a Lincoln on Cadillac sedan. In your opinion, which is the better option? I found the article below interesting; my initial thoughts are Lincoln as they seem to be more reliable, but Cadillacs seem more luxurious on the interior.
This is just a general question about each brand. I don't have a specific model or year I'm eyeing for each. 2014 or later are the general years I'm checking out.
