Who?
This was interesting, as reported in the Daily Camera:
"Boyle still has been unable to completely rule out any other roster defections this spring. He expects that part of the equation to be resolved this upcoming week after the players return from visits with their respective families."
I have nothing to say to that.

That is an interesting quote. I can only think of one person where this would be a good thing for the Buffs. AS if I need to say more.
Some people may not get initially.
SIAP.
Shooter!
nice body control around the basket.
Anything past his shooting is extra, IMO. Love his 3 PT volume, efficiency and quick release. Also the Iowa CC player of the year
He's got a nice stroke, can take it to the cup too.

38.9% from 3pt, 85.0% from FT, 1.9 A/T ratio
That seems like just what the doctor ordered.

FWIW this is the kid that Adam said Tad visited sometime during the week of 3/19

“When I talk about the mission of this university and the values of this university and what this university stands for, that's not it. If he's a legitimate student who really wants to get a graduate degree and wants to play basketball, absolutely we're going to look at him. But a lot of these graduate transfers really have no interest in graduate school, and you're renting a player for six months in the guise of getting a graduate degree. That's not what we're about."
Meanwhile Tad decides to use his final scholarship on a euro player with offers from Arkansas State and Loyal Marymount.
Small potatoes attitude equals small potatoes results.

You should go over to the Michigan board and tell them how lame it is that they signed a Euro named Moritz Wagner despite him having no other offers.

Under the radar recruits turning into good players is more of an anomaly then a norm. And I know you know that so I’m not sure why you choose to go down that rabbit hole.
Regardless my biggest issue is with his quote about basically not wanting grad transfers because he doesn’t think they’re focused on academics. To shun most of these players and likely sacrifice wins in the process because someone may not be passionate about a graduate degree just seems ridiculous. To repeat...small potatoes attitude equals small potatoes results.
Lets say hypothetically Travon Mcmillian isin’t actually interested in CU’s graduate programs. But he wants to come here and he’s going to solidify the RB position and help win games. Is anyone really offended by this?
Jon Wilner had a blurb about Arizona vs Villanova.
im offended by everything you post...its utter ****... every time
Anecdotal...yet I find myself agreeing with the basis of your point, per usual. Is it bad that Buffnik has become the default voice in my head within these forums...?
I felt like that a number of years ago when I first joined the boards. Then I realized he is just as much of a dumb ass as the rest of us - with a twinge of better written communication skills (or a dumptruck or two full).
The real point here is that CU's got to hope to hit the jackpot by taking some risks with guys like this where you project an athletic 6'10" Euro. We're not a program that doesn't need to take those types of risks. Even Michigan isn't and they've been among the best for years now (at least for having teams that make runs fairly often). This is like how Gonzaga built its program by finding skilled bigs from outside the US.
P.S. On the grad transfers, I think that a large part of Tad's comments was about spinning a negative into a positive instead of attacking CU's grad school admissions in the media. I'm sure it's a point of frustration for him. But I also think he's sincere about program culture and not being into being a rent-a-player type program, so it would have to be a grad transfer who was legitimately going to be a student athlete to the same degree as the rest of his roster.
Buffnik stikes again by taking my compliment in stride and making another strong point with exquisite linguistic panache. Not sure if this guy is allbuffs jesus or if I am just too many beers deep in a karaoke bar in Portugal.
P.S. check out Ronaldo's goal in the champs league game from today...

I interpret Tad's statement as another opportunity to set a tone...we want players who are committed to their academics and the University; yielding a team first player who can come in mature and influential toward team success. Although Carlon Brown and Derrick White were not Grad Transfers, the leadership these two contributed in their year at Colorado is what Tad is looking for in a Grad Transfer.
Wishing I aas Wiscobuff right now!
Buffnik is a Bot that broke away from Putin and just does and says the right thing.
Is Gatling a gunner?
I know Tad doesn't do grad transfers, but this will be a big transfer name. 18 PPG and the lead guard on a good South Dakota team
