It’s seems like there are no eligibility rules anymore and dudes are playing like 7 seasons. Jess Settles was the first to
Figure this out
We need a guy that takes it to the hole to open up Milan at the three. This would be a good recruit in my opinion. Kind of the Keshon role except taller .
Washington's coach is named Danny Sprinkle?Interesting choice. Great upgrade for him

A year ago, the University of Washington basketball program headed up by new coach Danny Sprinkle unearthed players in the transfer portal from the roundball mewww.si.com

Yeah, but we have Brent "Make it Rain which causes flowers to" Blum.
Gonna try a little of everything and see where the biggest $pla$h is, I suppose.
Nelson’s 3P% doesn’t look exciting on the surface, but his game logs show he still likes to shoot them, attempting 2.5 per game. Maybe there’s an adjustment they believe they can fix
Only in the second half of those games. Everyone showed up for the start of the games, upper deck was usually pretty full. But everyone bailed by halftime because we were inevitably getting stomped on the field and most of the students were piss drunk by 2:30PM. Not surprising when your team stinks and you've been drinking since starting up your tailgate at 6AM that morning.
It feels gross, but he’s probably doing the right thing. If he gets evaluated as a first rounder, makes sense to go. If not, it’s probably not going to change in a year, so get the biggest check/best opportunity since this may be the last chance. The current system may suck, but he’s probably playing it correctly.
I think the willingness to shoot them is a pretty important factor. IMO, teams sagging off of Lipsey his freshman year was just as much about his hesitancy to shoot threes as it was about his percentage from three. Every time he was open and had to think about whether to shoot it, it proved to opponents' defenses that they made the right decision in not bothering to guard him out there.
A willingness to chuck and miss threes is NOT going to stop teams from sagging off.
In fairness, Ohio State is not self-righteous. Neither is Nubs or Penn St. But I would probably agree UM, IU, and a few others are.
Great player on a mess of a team. Seemed like he was the only guy playing hard a lot of the time.
The big guy was still learning, Jizzle was all about Jizzle...
Would be a great Cujo replacement, but I am sure too pricey for ISU.
At a certain point, no. But if you watch Nelson's highlights, he certainly wasn't getting the same treatment that Tamin got his freshman year.
One additional factor is that a college season is a pretty small sample compared to what you might see in the NBA, especially for low-volume shooters. Many college defenses naturally assume that if a player is taking a shot in the normal flow of the offense, it's a shot he can make. Nelson shot 25% on 87 three-point attempts all of last season. Tyrese Haliburton started off this past NBA season shooting 27% on his first 85 three-point attempts before shooting 41% on his next 188. I am NOT saying that Nelson will ever shoot like Tyrese. But because of the pretty small sample in a college season, as long as a player is still shooting confidently, defenses have to keep in mind that he may just be in a slump.
I'm also not saying that Nelson should keep shooting that much if he's still shooting 25% from three. But if a player is ever going to shoot them, he has to shoot them confidently. To me, that was a big factor that Tamin was lacking in his freshman year.
