Side point: has there ever been a center who became a great/successful coach? Who are they and how many? Seems point guards galore make the great coaches. Here are some guards who became successful coaches: Wooden, Coach K, Calipari, Pitino, Dean Smith, Bill Self, Adolph Rupp, Tom Izzo, Roy Wiliams, Jim Boeheim, Denny Crum, Huggins, Hurley, Calhoun, Tarkanian, Jason Kidd ...
That's a mega sick partial list. Virtually all the greats in college. Knight was a forward, I think. Phil Jackson a forwar
Spoiler
I'm a bit skeptical about Sheppard being a super elite 3-point marksman in the NBA for some reason. It just kind of seemed he was on a super heater this year. Had he stayed he could have developed into possibly the all-time UK icon, leading scorer, multi-millionaire on Big Man on Campus, etc. We'll see.
As far as I can tell the big problem is the 2024 draft class is extremely weak. I do think if the 2024 class was stronger he might have stayed.
Sounds like Seth Trimble back to UNC
Source?
I see some random posts in the last few hours when I search on X but nothing from anyone I consider reliable.
Harrison Ingram is going pro. I kind of figured with all of the wing/SG recruiting that Hubert was doing that he was probably gone. He will be missed.
RJ needs to go ahead and go as well. Time to start fresh with every single player being 100% on Hubert. Our recruits are supposed to be legit. Rebounding is where we seem really soft at the moment.
I don't understand the sentiment of wanting RJ to go, especially if it's simply to start fresh. The guy is a high volume 40% 3 point shooter with a ton of experience. His game is perfect for college.
Sure, sometimes his style can bite you, like it did in the S16, but he was a huge part of us being a top 4 team this season.
We'd be undersized, and rebounding plus interior defense is definitely looking like a concern right now, but a lineup of
EC
RJ
Jackson
Tyson (hopefully)
Washington
Seems pretty damn good. If EC can improve his shooting at all, then we'd have shooters at spots 1-5. We'd put up 90 points a game.
Then hopefully Seth, Powell, Brown, Withers, maybe High if he can work things out, and then whoever else we can get in the portal, to fill it out.
Including RJ, we only have 8 guys on the projected 24-25 roster right now.
Seth is officially back.
Wow, huge news. Has to be on the shortlist for National Player of the year with Cooper Flagg and Kam Jones.
Outstanding news! His defense is as good as it gets at the college level for a guard.
RJ, Cadeau, Trimble, Ian Jackson, Drake Powell. Good starters and bench players rolling into next year.
sorry heels
That’s great news.
Redd, on what forum do you find the Trilly intel? He doesn't post the same info to X from what I've seen.

It's on discord.
Boogie to ARK
Hunter Dickinson returning for his COVID year. Preseason #1 incoming for Kansas again
no wonder Self was looking ahead to next season
Cade Tyson officially to UNC. Shaping up to be a top5-top 10ish at worst roster.
