Yeah, to me he just seemed like a good player in the wrong system for his skillset.

He shot better in high school and since NW had him shooting I'm guessing he just underperformed. Hopefully "the shot doctor" combined with maybe getting him in a system and surrounding roster that fits his rhythm better brings out the best
I think our roster was almost perfectly constructed last year. I’m not saying we beat Tennessee with a healthy Jefferson, but I’m comfortable saying we would not have been outrebounded by 30 with Jefferson out there, and that very well could have been the difference.
Saying that, and assuming we can retain everyone who played this year, I’m all in on Johnson, Singleton and Bond. Are they equals to Lipsey, Jefferson and Heise? Likely not, but they are similar molds, IMO, and with a year of development under the belt for Toure, Batemon, Pleta and Buchanan, I think we’d be a tough out again.

Some bigs, please. And a "rebounding doctor" assistant coach.
Been nice to have a legitimate backup four. Heise produced well in his absence but we really got beat up on the boards.
No argument from me. Maybe Kiss is able to fill that role next season?

Yes, I asked that last week and got the obligatory can’t trust a freshman. But if we add two PF it’s nice having a talented freshman as a plan B. The important thing is not add two guys with multiple years because preps aren’t going to wait two years

I watched a couple of St Thomas games and I thought, in my opinion, that he looked like a better fit with the Cyclones than Minnesale did.
while I loved his talent, Center isn't where we need to spend our dollars based on what we know about the roster at this point.
Yeah, difficult to believe they only invested $10 mil in that roster with all the transfers
and a DEEP bench with good guards that attackedBut wait, i thought guards win in march?Michigan had best and most bigs. They are the champs.
and smallest guard maybe 6-4? Bigs and big guards is why they are good. Add motivation to play defense and it makes them almost unstoppable. The bigs and the number of bigs was the key.
I still want to believe that Mason Williams will be an important part next season. With a year in the system he’d be a year ahead of anyone else we could bring in . That is, if he’s fully recovered from the injury….
Who was the guy that was right next to Cadeau during the celebration last night. Looked like a twin brother.
