Trying not to overhype him, but several points reference and probably hinge on him.

I knew it was deliberate, but I enjoyed you making the case while hiding the biggest positive.
Presumably. Rumor is that the following season the P12 will be on Alibaba Sports Stream with days and times optimized for Asian markets.
I just wish we didn't follow the same schedule as the WCC as I'd love to get season tickets for USF (the campus is like a 5 minute walk) but I want to watch the buffs play live.

I support every CU athlete, and I'm going to pull hard for Mr Diop. How rare, a young man who comes to college really wanting an education:
“They’d been tracking me since my freshman year,” Diop said. “Coach Rohn, every time he reached me he’d be talking about class. I really like what I’m doing in class. I like basketball, don’t get me wrong. But class is something I take pride in. Of all the colleges that recruited me, CU was the best that just talked about the classroom and doing the work there. I feel there’s more to my success than just basketball.”

Sooooo......Let me see if I can summarize what I just read.
MTE-Sunshine Slam. One home game against what I would assume to be a guarantee type of opponent. Possible tournament games against Florida State (9-23 last year), UNLV (19-13), and Richmond (15-18).
Road games-at CSU, who went 15-18 last year.
Home games-guarantees against Iona, Towson, and Pepperdine.
Conclusion: This schedule needs more meat on it. If the biggest name we're guaranteed to play is CSU.......that's a problem.

Game is live , free on YouTube. Half-time blowout by US. Only saw a few minutes - Williams looked good, but weak competition
Yes, we did get screwed by CSU getting their NET barely above that threshold a few years back. Sucks, but it is what it is.
Next year's MTE will be better, so I don't begrudge a smaller one this year, plus it comes with an NIL cash infusion.
Don't forget hated rival Grambling.
Edit: forgot the game against Miami in Brooklyn already leaked:

Honestly, the mid majors on the schedule are typically very solid - Richmond, Iona and Towson. FSU will bounce back a bit this year and UNLV should be pretty good. CSU will be okay. Our biggest issue will likely be getting to 20 wins. With the resurgent respect for the PAC12, if we win any 20 games we'll be dancing.
The guy doing the "commentary" makes me want to plunge knives in my ears.
Cody is very talented, but he is not a 1 and done guy.
He may actually be a more 2-3 year guy like his brother that continues to develop the older he gets.
We can build around him and KJ for a nice 2-year run

12 of the top 14 recruits in 2022 were drafted in the 23 draft. The two that weren't both decided to stay but were projected to get drafted in Fillopski and Mitchell. Age, talent, and reputation matter regardless of freshman stats.
^it was similar in 21 as well. He won't be around long and that's still great!
He's here for 2 years either way.

He's projected to be a top 5 pick in next year's draft, and scouts are already keenly aware of his weak areas. He's not staying past one year.
Yes, lottery picks don't stay in school.
I was following the hype and the projections, but I think he is a 2-year guy at the least, and I think he will be a guy that even once drafted say in '25 will come back and get his degree.
This year is looking more and more exciting
are you guessing or do you know something?

I'm sure his older brother had a 4 to 5 year plan at Santa Clara and he blew up and left after 3. Hard to turn down being a lottery pick much less a top 5 pick. One thing is the family isn't hurting for money.
His brother Jalen was on a talk show during the NBA Finals and he was so intelligent and eloquent with his thoughts and presentation. The young man has a bright bright future on and off the court.

Didn't even know about!
I wish CSU would have epically tanked. I'm at the point where I hate playing little brother in anything.
Mom, Dad, Brother, Cody, Tad have all said repeatedly there is a plan in place and that plan is not one and done.

Yeah, if he's projected top ten, he's not staying, regardless of the plan.
Hell, they shouldn't. They can always go back and get their degree in whatever. Of course, not all do that, but I've seen plenty that did.
