    No doubt, but can any of us say that we are perfection.....other than maybe Snipe? I'll happily accept this Sophomore's development. More than any of us could have expected.

    He probably astutely figured that the baseline referee would have called a ridiculous foul on a perfectly legal box out, so he let him have it to save fouls as some of the other Big Men were in Foul Trouble.

    How's that for spin?

    In other words, he fell asleep.

    Yeah, aka Myles Davis in the first minute of the game. Went back and looked again on replay. Myles had a perfectly legal box out.

    In real time that looked like a clear over the back... but that's why they don't let me wear the stripes.

    I think this guys, Gates is pretty good at defense for a freshman. The guy can move in the 1-3-1, and he isn't quite the offensive liability that London is right now. Gates will play over London because of that, but the lack of offensive production is mainly due to the fact that they don't run anything for him and his shots come from broken plays.

    O'Mara is a good, hard-working player. His HS team was knocked out by 1 point in the Chicago playoffs by Cliff Alexander's team and I remember people saying how well he defended Alexander (his is a Portland Trailblazer now). Despite looking like a knucklehead last year and the start of this year, I knew he would still be a good player. Good B1G teams were on him only to see his Dad send them packing because he wanted a good academic school. Purdue/Michigan was not on him for whatever reason, Northwestern was.

    On Reynolds, the guy is 23 and playing with 18-21 year olds. I think he won't want to be 24 next year in college when he will already have his degree. He should stay for development on the court, but he will most likely leave for that reason to make money.

    London, we haven't seen much from him. I spotted a 5 second stretch in the St. Johns game when the shot clock was winding down, he demanded the ball, put in on the court, and blew by his defender forcing a late clock foul. This guy has handles, yes it was St. Johns, but they are D1 and can still play and defend alright. London has huge upside and is a full 2-3 inches taller than Gates. If he meets close to his upside he is going to be a very good player.

    Or he could transfer to BYU where he would probably be the youngest player on the team

    I'm loving what Sean is showing and down the stretch he will be an important cog. Now next year wow, (and I'd love for Jalen to come back and have the senior year we know he can have) we will be even more loaded at all positions than we are this year. Gaston according to all reports is an A player and I expect him to start.
