    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    I think you are mistaking a lack of experience for something else. There is a difference between playing 4 years of top college basketball and playing 1.

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    The players were better in those days. You can say it. The best players played three or four years instead of one or zero. It isn't really controversial.

    Baye Declares for NBA; Retaining Eligibility

    Shumpert went from not being on any mock drafts to being a sure first rounder because of his workouts. Shumpert was a double plus athlete, though, and I believe the NBA teams recognized that he was misused in college. Hewitt played him at point guard because he thought that would be his NBA...

    I am pretty sure it came from Hewitt himself on his radio show. Since only about 5 people listened to it at the time it became secret info.

    It was the same when Bird and Magic entered the NBA. The league, including all of the players, were better off for it but some (Dr. J) were resentful of the attention they garnered. Heck, those guys saved the league.

    I don't understand this one. The system GT plays is a good fit for him to grow into if he is ever going to realize his potential. 🤷‍♂️

    That isn't what happened with Paul Johnson.

    He can sign with an NCAA approved agent. If he wants to return to school he has to cancel the agreement. He can return to college if he withdraws by May 29th and cancels any agents agreements. I believe undrafted players can also return, though I am unsure how any agent agreements work in that...

    There is more than a good chance your gut is wrong. Competitors don't pass up opportunities to compete.

    I don't think it says who should be invited. I am pretty sure it does say that the "ACC only has a couple of competitive teams" is both wrong and dead. It also kills "tired legs" theory after they won 5 in 5 to win the ACC and survived the playoff game immediately after. It is bad season for...

    I think the NET is fine. The Quads (random lines in the sand) and the extra counting of OOC SOS are the issues. The "human element" also adds subjectivity. It is never going to be perfect and it isn't bad as it is. It could be better since it puts too much weight on Nov-Dec. I would like to see...

    They count as games, they just don't care about the standings. I think I have proven why and how they improperly overweight OOC SOS so there is an impact to the weight of conference games. I agree with you it should not be that way.

    They really don't care at all about conference standings.

    Things I didn't think could happen: RJ Davis has 2 points on 1-8 shooting and UNC leads by 8 at halftime against anyone.

    That might explain UNC getting a 1 over Iowa State or Kentucky getting a 3. It most definitely does not explain South Carolina or all of the Mountain West bids.
