Curbelo was special towards the end of his freshman year. He 100% was not the same player after that fucked up incident where he landed on his head and his neck broke his fall.

His brain maybe wasn't the stats says differently. Very similiar is all

I think i read that they’re going to go to a one time free transfer and then after that you have to sit out a year like the old days. Could be wrong. At least there is continuity on the football side!

That’s what I’ve been saying they should do.

I think the 5 years to play 5 is a good idea by Bielema…

I also like the one-time transfer and then like the old days rule too…
Because FOX News told me so…

Agree to Disagree....Curbelo was NEVER in control however. 2.8/2.6 T/O per game at Illinois...2.7 T/O at St Johns, almost 4. T/O at South Miss. Pts and Assists were very close before and after as well.

 How about games played, minutes played, total.points, total assists?

Shooting?

Come to your own conclusions.

I don’t understand. With the current rules they can play 4 in 4.

How’s Curbello’s HOF track looking?

He was headed in that direction until the head injury. Dude was a baller his freshman year. I did say when I declared that, if injuries don’t happen…

They have 5 years and sometimes 6 to play 4. With covid it got up 7 to play 5. Now NAIA and JuCo ball apparently don't  count, 22 year old Balkan pros are sophomores, and whassup with teh G League dude, so who knows how all taht works out.

Played some pretty good teams in that stretch too.

Read an article that was praising while at the same time criticizing Underwood for the heavy European focus.  Personally, I like it and so far we're seeing NBA caliber players suiting up.

But the flip side is that opposing coaches will use it against us in local circuits, AAU, etc. That underwood thinks American players are bad and he wants Europeans. That is a problem.

Interesting article and I hadn't thought of it that way. I guess winning matters most and last year we didn't win much, this year I expect much better things. Still some type of balance is probably better in the long run than swaying too much to one side.
