I think that is a good trade.

I’d take that trade. Franklin to us, Miller to them.

Makes no sense whatsoever from Miller’s standpoint to go to IU, but hey to each their own.
Because FOX News told me so…

Who knows what is going on with him and his clan.
They took this reactive butthurt approach for various beefs they had and did not take calls from staff or players per reports.

The idea of going to UM is maybe not so great as they should be pretty well loaded again. The Purdue talk is a dead end. That freshman kid is their Ayo wannabe and will be main focus along with the post guys.

He wants to be featured in an offense it appears which means getting 12-14 shots/takes a game and being able to show combo guard skills and have the ball in his hands more.
The Baylor guards last night showed what being able to shoot, and take your man off the dribble, and distribute looks like if you want to play at next level and are not 6'7".
He does not have those skills.

Nothing preventing him from developing those here except his ego right now. He would be expected to take a major scoring role.
He could make a living next year attacking close outs with Curbelo distributing.

They may have boxed themselves in and Hulka said asta la vista pretty quickly. Everybody needs to find a way to save face.

A lineup of Curbelo/Miller/Franklin/Hutch/Jobu with Grandison, Hawkins,Goode, Melendez, Podz,BBV  is a probably a tourney team.
Take out Miller and it is still probably a tourney team as long as we get Franklin or some other proven scoring wing.

No Franklin or similar, and no Miller and we are fucked.

Of course if Kofi somehow returns we are Top 20.

After all, we saw how well they taught Ayo to go to his left and Kofi to pass the ball when double and triple teamed.

Yeah should have made Ayo practice left handed layups like Bruce did with Dee because clearly Ayo didn’t put any work in on his own since last year

I’m hearing Kofi will back.

They seem to be preparing for him not to be

They spoke with Christian Bishop (undersized 5 at Creighton) today and are also talking to Liam Robbins from MN

Robbins is kid from Davenport. Is serviceable center. Was playing decent before the injury.
We need Franklin to jump.

Ayo worked hard on his strength, finishing, and his shooting and deserves tremendous credit. He is a pretty weak ball handler and below average defender though.
Kofi improved his finishing quite a bit as the season progressed. Can't pass at all, guard out on floor, or shoot beyond three feet. Both exceptional at this level in spite of these flaws. Both will have a lot of work to do beyond college.

Robbins was pretty darn good. Pretty skilled too.

I’m not sure I see the fit for Bishop as he is an undersized big with no range

OK,  I guess a lot of interest from teams in Robbins. He is supposedly a genuinely good kid and worker.
Will be taking time to find best fit.

Adding AJ Storr to original post. He may be a 2022 recruit however. Might reclassify to 2021.

Robbins was a big contributor for the gofs. He's a presence in the post for sure, but expecting a full year out of him at the P5 level may be a tall order.

They aren’t getting Franklin, UVA is

Adam Miller was just on IG saying he’s coming back I guess. (Not sure if that’s settled yet )
