Any new Tre White developments?
The people on here who say they've seen Lee play are people who seem like they know ball, and the kid is allegedly on some mock drafts, so I'll take your collective word for it. But man, these Ivy League guys scare me. They can look as good as they want against Dartmouth or whatever but the size and strength of the athletes at this level are a couple of clicks above what they're playing against now. Its so hard to tell who can make the adjustment and who can't. I know that's what staff gets paid for, and he's not even here yet but...
Dingle struggled too.

Probably just nervous after Dingle came here and wasn’t as good as he was in Ivy.
That's fair. Don't have stats but seems more kids from lower levels who move up don't usually approach #'s they had before.
There were reasons Dingle struggled beyond being from the Ivy imho and he was playing very well for us down the stretch.
Alabama is made of plenty lower level conferences. They’ve been one of the top teams the last 2 years with them.
Not to mention the Vols Chaz Lanier from the North Florida Ospreys.
As long as you don’t accuse me of being the next Henny Youngman. (Now I know Amase is way too young for that reference).
Darlingtone Dubar went from 35 min 19 pts at Hofstra to 9 min & 3 pts at Tenn too.
Reality is ...i's a crapshoot.
It wasn't just Dingle. Ledlum wasn't either. He was a strong kid and a willing rebounder, so that part of his game translated. But he was overmatched on both sides of the ball otherwise.
Again, not proof that nobody from the Ivies can have success at this level. But enough to make me skeptical until proven otherwise.

If Duke, Florida and Kentucky are interested in him, that's good enough for meThe people on here who say they've seen Lee play are people who seem like they know ball, and the kid is allegedly on some mock drafts, so I'll take your collective word for it.

Please reel him in, Rick and Matt
He would definitely fill a major need and help round out our roster for next season
We are …….a program.
Coming off a sensational year, recruiting at high level, with Pitino leaving no stone unturned (including an exhausting recruiting trip to Rome) and aiming for second week Dance status & possibilities this season. His passion to make big time noise knowing he is not a young man is serving a once stagnant program well above what I imagined.
Worry less about the misses, like Thornton, Demary and keep the faith. We are heading places.
