Would still like to see Hammond gone.
Things are shaping up well with transfers, hopefully. In on some good players.

Honestly when you dive into the details, pulling Knecht in for Clifford is probably going to net out as a big DUB for the team. Knecht actually plays like a basketball player and acts likes he loves the game.
Fwiw, Dalton's ORtg and DReb rates on KenPom were both better than anyone on CU this year (TDS close on ORtg) and TDS was the only guy who shot a higher % from 3.
Massive upgrade over Nique for the same position & role.
If Hammond leaves, we need 2 guards, preferably pgs - 1 MUST be a pg. The other can be a true sg, or the dreaded combo guard.

Better shooter, longer and more athletic than the this year's Ivy transfers.

If we are getting Knecht (it appears basically a done deal), then we have one spot left that HAS to be used on a starting center.

Tell me that doesn't look a lot better than what we thought our lineup was going to be.

Just one.
No there are two now. We have 5 leaving total and we have 3 recruits coming in
I'll still take LL over Ike - defense has to be SOMEONE's priority

No. We lost 3 scholarship players, over signed by one, so we have two open spots.
That's what I said we have 2 open spots and your reply to da lama was 1. But I didn't realize he included Knecht on the roster.
Well... I'm still mad about Lawson but at least the other spots are not bad lossee

I'm angry about the bull**** he had to endure from pieces of **** in the stands, on social media, etc... Lawson struggled with the jump to P5 but never deserved to get disrespected, poor kid. Wishing him the best.
However, Tad cleaning house is a positive sign that he will not settle.
Did Ike's foot ever heal? I heard that he had a lot of setbacks trying to recover.
Where I'm at is that I trust Tad to get a team to defend and rebound. So I'm worried about whether we've got firepower and efficiency on offense. When we do, we have good seasons.
I think the best metric is ORtg from KenPom. Basically you need to be over 100 or you're a below average offensive player.
Here's how our 11 guys who played (2 redshirts not included) ranked:
1. Ruffin - 110.3
2. TDS - 110.1
3. Hadley - 108.7
4. LOB - 107.7
5. KJ - 101.1
6. Wright - 99.5
7. JH3 - 97.1
8. Gabbidon - 96.8
9. Lovering - 91.1
10. Nique - 84.2
11. Allen - 81.2
Also, since the 2 transfer portal names people keep bringing up are Dalton Knecht (UNC-G wing from CO) and Graham Ike (WYO post from CO), here are their ORtgs in their last college season:
Knecht - 110.5
Ike - 102.2
If you believe like I do, then we're looking at what is potentially a very positive offseason of attrition and additions.
Really need for Ruffin to recover from the knee and to do well with transfer signings.
Also, I'm coming around to the side of those who wouldn't mind seeing Hammond go. Even in the '22 season when his 3pt shooting was at an elite %, his ORtg was a horrible 92.5. Put that together with defense that's never been very good and violating team rules the week he was asked to step up and lead... I won't cry in my beer if he transfers. If he doesn't, he needs to get his sh!t together.
Yup. Hammond can't be ****ing up the easy **** when the team depends on him. Big argument all that Nique time cost the uvu game
Y’all down on Hammond worse than I was on LL. Hammond had very few Turnovers when he was running the team.
And I’m the asshole

It’s a tale of two seasons for Ham. Yes, brutal for most of the year but I’d like to see what the metrics say post-KJ injury. Probably looks much different. Idk if I’d be too upset if he left either but it seems unlikely he would.
Saw film on Knecht. Holy

Look at his O rating though. Terrible.
Now do it for dRtg and tell me anyone in the convo is even close to LL.

Did you watch FAU last night? They have dreaded combo guards at every position.
