BuffinCali true: only teams w/ ****braska's perimeter size this year are UCLA, Tennessee, Kansas, USC & Oregon. We learn a lesson; we get chance at top-25!
Zachsquatch true too: I honestly don't think CU's fan-base realize we have 1 of elite player-development programs in country. Sports Illustrated advanced metrics measured Tad #1 in getting lowest ranked players to NBA years ago; it's still the case. Tad didn't ask transfers back because he promised guys develop. time!
I don't think I have to say I told you so re: Nique & Luke! But LUV their toughness, D & Rbding, (when Tristan/ 'Bari not in); their O just frosting on the cake!
I'm barely worried about the poor 3-pt shooting. Luke & Julian shot over 50% from 3 in HS; Tristan, Nique & Javon are good shooters; 'Bari, Kee & KJ will be fine if they manage shot selection. I'm more worried about Evan & Eli. We don't need to have their presence felt on O at 3-pt line; but we do need if felt on D & leadership!
We had 2 Top-20-level recruiting classes; we're on verge of getting couple more 4 star recruits! In-case I'm not being clear enough: I'm still on the bandwagon that a couple wins over borderline Top-25 teams this year puts us in Top-25 by December or end of year. Only question I have is does Tad get youngsters to believe!
