I always wonder how current underclassmen feel about all the hype for bringing new players in

I've been thinking about this, as well. It would suck to get recruited, come in as a freshman, buy-in, practice hard to earn playing time and then have players transfer in who are guaranteed playing time/usage in the program. I guess it is just a fact of life in the NIL/portal world but it still has to suck for these guys.

LBBIQ... How does Dug compliment Ques and Castillo?  Aren't they all the same type of player?

You guys remember having Denis and Jake on the court at the same time?  If not, it was either peak WildWildCat bb fun, or second to last year.

Denis + Jake was a close second to last year.

Eh. They practice together and it becomes obvious who should be on the floor. It's only an issue if the coaches are guaranteeing playing time and putting the worse player on the floor out of some sort of obligation.

How big of an impact on one-and-donee’s will the NIL have within three years?

Will there be fewer and fewer because they can make decent money trying to improve their game in college?

I feel like we've seen less already. Unless they are for sure top like 10 pick why bother with NBA for a bit.

Denis + Jake was a close second to last year.

Denis + Jake is still my favorite.  That team was amazing.  I will always be convinced the double OT game wore our ass out for Butler.  I think we would have beat Butler and gone on to win the NC.

The 2009-10 team was good enough to win a natty, I agree.

Not enough pros.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Physically and emotionally exhaustedr, and had to play the late game against Xavier, as well (just as we did last year and in 88 against Purdue).
I remember watching eventual champion Duke play that year before the tournament and my bro and I agreeing they weren't tough enough to play with the Cats. Truly, the junkyard Cats would have mopped them.

What really hurts about our last four E8's (although I lost the ability to feel pain after the 2010 loss) is that it wasn't like we had the 1992 Duke team blocking our path to the F4 in any of those matchups. We faced a lower seed in all of those games.

Now that Tang has succeeded in brining the President to heel, and secured more money for all things bb, I expect to see some high dollar signing and some sweet sweet oops next season.

I dream of Rich running the court and Dug, Dai2, Castillo, etc hitting him from 35’ out with a poster oop.
