2025 Target List

12 hours of underwater basket weaving shouldn’t be that taxing but I stayed in school until I had a baby on the way, so I’m an odd bird anyway

I’m with you conceptually, but I never understood why underwater basketweaving was an example of a Mickey Mouse course. That sounds incredibly hard to me.

I’ve always thought it more as the caricature of a practically useless course/degree, not necessarily an easy one

Depends....is my head underwater? Or just the basket I'm weaving? Cause sitting in a pool just chillin' and weavin' doesn't sound too bad. Doing it all in scuba gear...less enjoyable.

No you’re not, there’s the whole school part of it too though that I mentioned.

Welp, it’s pretty short sighted to turn down more money along with playing in front of 20K+ fans because of school. Take 12 hours of the easiest classes available in the fall then sign up for another 12 hours in the spring but quit going to class after February - just not very demanding at all IMO. Maybe ZZZ already did this last year anticipating it to be his last and would have to do a lot of work to dig out of that hole in order to be eligible this coming year?

Maybe. There’s a ton of possibilities, there’s curfews, early AM practices and workouts, juggling school with travel and games, etc etc. I’m not suggesting it’s any of those things, or any of the things you mentioned, I don’t know the exact reason, but there can be quite a few reasons why a 22-23 year old is ready to be done with college and start the next chapter of their life.

Seems like this year’s college NIL$ is higher than European leagues are paying? Am I confused on that?

Why would u go over seas far away when u can make money college now … lol

Maybe Zakai wants to move on instead of staying in College and playing Basketball like others do for 6 or 7 years...

 

[Legion of Doom]

ZZ I am sure wants to go to a Final 4. They are right there. If you add him and Gainey they have number 2 roster behind only Houston on BartTorvik.

BUT, the potential for a masters or doctorate before entering the non-athletic life is in play as well.
