Ugh

Why can’t we have nice things?

This reads as good news to me. Already knew he hurt his wrist, but shouldn’t come close to missing games

Yeah...I hadn't seen any updates but was hoping for a quicker return (I'm impatient)

More than 14.7 points per game?!?! We always hear the summer workout hype each year...we'll see.

 

[MinisterofDef#92]

Estrella's offense was being touted going into last season...I sure hope this is legit.

I mean Zeigler was 13.6 and not really a scoring PG like Kobi is, I think he’s 15+ pretty easily

13.6 in last year's SEC was quite impressive but I agree Kobi should be better than ZZ but he has to handle the transition and I expected CRB to emphasize getting others involved. I was going to be happy if he delivers the same production he gave the Terps last year but your "easy" comment makes me think you won't be surprised if he hits that Chaz/DK level.

Chaz was 18, DK was 21.7…there’s a middle ground between 14.7 and those numbers.

The supremely glowing off-season reviews are back baby!!! This year we’re winning the natty!!!!!

Okpara in person already looked like he was 3% body fat. and his shoulders were huge. I honestly don’t know how he could get any stronger. Unless he isn’t as lean right now or something.

The Barnes quote though, that’s something to actually catch my eye.

Now this is one I actually believe.

Of course there is...that's why I wanted clarification. Given your base case is over 15 given the easily comment, I was curious if you see a best case for Chaz level or higher.

Good to hear that from CRB and I am excited...but I'm gonna have to see it to believe it. A lot of high expectations for Kobi and Ament to put up really big numbers.

The media opinions on players are the ones I think are bloated based on past history. Rick Barnes, however, doesn't throw praise around, so that is the quote I'm willing to put stock in.

A “best case” would be higher I suppose, but not at all a prediction, I would probably set the O/U at like 16.5ppg for him.

I think the surprises he’s referring to are Henderson and Brown. They will help us this year.

I'm more bullish on Henderson relieving Gillespie of PG duties than Brown. Brown is behind Cade, Okpara, Carey and Estrella on the depth chart in the front court.

100%

Would be awesome if he can get 5-10 min a game this year so he's ready to possibly take the reins as a sophomore since Gillespie will only be here one year.

I think that was directly and indirectly tied to the COVID year. For WTF that means
