25-26 Season

I can think of one local school in our conference who could offer him 15 shots a game. 😭
Yep! But I should add I made my point with the caveat that I believe he should come back, and think he'll take a big step next year. You can see the flashes.
 
I like Sim and hope he sticks here but him being a guaranteed started would limit us IMO. He could have a great JR year and prove to be one of better guys, but I think he’s got a lot left to prove there. What does he bring that makes him worthy of a guaranteed spot other than experience?
I agree with this. Barring extreme jump in development, which I’m not sold on, sim a sure fire starter next year imo would suggest underwhelming import of new talent and does not comport with deep, deep madness run. We need to get significantly better to compete for chip with sec and big 10. It was just proven based on BE results in dance.
 
Would have preferred Zach had said 2 maybe 3 leaving than going into portal because Lefty and Prey could go back to Europe plus the portalers.
 
Lefty has the same malady last years team had. No lateral quickness. Cannot defend as opposing guards blow right by him. He would fare better in a zone… but we don’t play zone. I think his offense plays well and Rick will decide if we keep him.
 
Zach’s take tonight on our portal prospecting is getting guys who can shoot, while still preserving the overall defensive intensity. Not an easy thing, but that seems the obvious direction.

He noted what is evident re Hopkins is SJU and GT are involved, no visit Monday and mentioned possibility of Arkansas taking a shot at him.

Let the games begin.

In fairness, Zach sounded like he had no real inside info and just going off same things posted here & social media.

I know him well for years and he naturally holds back certain info. For years he has had Matt as a source, but sometimes is requested to hold back a bit on revealing much naturally. Re Spaces, his boss even pushed this last session himself on Twitter as part of overall coverage of our program. All about clicks, circulation, etc. To his credit, Zach knows and speaks to a lot of SJ fans beyond Spaces. That’s a plus for everyone.
