Even personality wise

To me, Julian seemed like he didn't care?

He seemed to have moments where you went wow, but I don’t remember any games where he really dominated or even lead us in scoring (I’m sure he did a couple of times).

Ament is a true top 5 recruit that historically Duke, UK, and Kansas land.

Kentucky fans on Rupp's Rafters are whining about missing on Ament. But y'all have a 22 million dollar roster without a backup point guard. Why are you worried? ha ha

There's definitely a difference in what Tennessee might typically get in a 5 star compared to the Duke, Kentucky and Kansas 5 stars.

This is the first 5 star I can say, yeah, this is the type of guy that would be starting on Duke

I wish we could have watched a few practice scrimmages more than a few of the first 5 games. Sitting here imagining how competitive they are and how much better it’s making the Browns, Massambas, Evans and Hendersons

AI:

The main NCAA traveling rule change is that players executing a jump stop or step back can now land with both feet at approximately the same time, instead of requiring a perfectly simultaneous landing, to improve accuracy on fast-paced moves. For women's basketball, this change is for the 2025-26 season and aims to reduce unnecessary travel calls on quick stops.

Key points of the rule change

Jump stops/step backs: Previously, the feet had to land exactly at the same time. Now, players can land on both feet "at approximately the same time," increasing accuracy for referees, according to this NCAA.org article and this Facebook post.

Rationale: The change is a response to the increased speed of the game, which has made it difficult for referees to accurately call simultaneous landings in real-time.

Other related changes: For the 2025-26 season, women's basketball will also see changes that allow for multiple brief, "hot stove" touches on a dribbler as long as they don't impede speed, balance, or quickness.

What the rule change does not mean

The "gather step": The rule does not change the "gather step" that was introduced by FIBA in 2018, as NCAA rules still define traveling as taking more than two steps without a dribble.

Two-step motion: Players are not yet allowed to take two steps without a dribble under NCAA rules.

Euro step: The rule change does not make the Euro step legal, as it is legal under current NCAA rules.

Better hope FIRE BARNES rants don’t get started for following CJH in losing the second half. We have some brilliant fans out there.
