Why is that ? I can’t recall if it’s Purdue or another Big X team, but 2-3 of their roster is form over seas. All can play inside - out and handle the ball.

Usually it is a staff member that has connections overseas. And then once you start building that relationship, get guys who are comfortable being around players with similar backgrounds, and those guys succeed, it is a selling point to future overseas guys. Chain reaction.

The Big 10 school you are thinking of is actually likely Illinois. Both Ivisic brothers, Stojacovic, Mirkovich, among others. Geoff Alexander is their assistant coach with all the connections in Europe.

Tanner reminds me a bit of Trae Young, undersized with a great perimeter game. Good quickness and an excellent floor general. I think he has a shot at making it to the Association pending the right team.

I really considered Young as a comp, but TY is a couple inches taller, and that's assuming Tanner's listed height of 6'-0 is accurate. They play a similar game, for sure. I was just looking for more of a size comp since I think that may be the thing that hinders Tanner.

It crazy to me if JP is requesting 7 figure ms- not sure if the poster was referring to Estrella. What’s crazier is if the market is figures for this type player. He isn’t an all SEC player.

If the market is 7 figures, then idk what TN will do. JP isn’t with it imo.

It’s not my $$ but i rather TN spend $2 million on a much better 6’10 - 6’11 post player having more post moves. Will that such player be in the portal- i have no idea.

He's the #1 SEC offensive threat among all 4 and 5 position players per Evan Miya so there's that

JP is one of those players whose potential os worth the price tag. A high risk, high reward stock. If you get the fully healthy version of him with an assumed mild continuous improvement, he's easily worth seven figures. He's just never been able to stay healthy, so it really depends of your risk level in terms of investment. I think he is someone you pay to be your #3 or 4 scorer with the potential that he's your #1 or 2 if everything goes right.

The closest thing size wise and college stat wise is Chris Paul.

And that’s if neither of those 2 transfer, neither has played a bunch and neither is from the area…could see them look elsewhere.

Bing isn’t going anywhere if Byington stays. He played a lot down the stretch and showed good things. To your point tho, Harris is just not a good player. Wasn’t translatable at Washington either. They paid a lot for him. Most likely gets pushed out
