      Same here. I just looked at his game log and it looks like something clicked with him about halfway through the season. The second half of the season he was elite but his season stats are dragged down by a poor first half

        @Jayhawk_69 16/10/2 his last 13 games, 12 as a starter. That changes things for sure.

          But we do have to wonder whether it was a legit breakthrough or a Linsanity situation

            Very excited for Blyden actually. I expect big things out of him. Analytics put him as a top 20 ish overall portal get. We will see if he translates up seamlessly

              Hoping our backcourt has more size than 6-1 and 6-1. Blyden maybe a microwave off the bench?

                I don't think backcourt size matters that much. If we have a big frontcourt I will be pleased

                  Guys, having seen a couple of Cougars games, I think you are deluding yourselves. He is a solid mid-major big and can be effective against smaller front-lines. But that was the SoCon. There is a reason he didn't play in 3 years at Clemson and Duke. He is Mbiya with more experience, although I think Paul has more upside. Good to have a big body off the bench, but he would be unplayable against a mobile or stretch 5.

                  We keep going after mid-major guys - I guess they are cheaper? - while the top teams (not us any longer?) are getting the best of the proven P5 transfers or first team mid-major all-conference.

                  Why is that Indiana has 6 high major transfers committed and we have just two? Both Sherrill and the SMU transfer are better front court guys than Reeves.

                    Actually, that is how you can find out you used salt instead of sugar in making the batter.

                    Okay, it’s how I found out. A mistake not likely to be repeated (mostly because my lovely wife does all the baking) (except pizza).

                      Looks like Mbiya will have to make a portal decision by tomorrow. maybe Stokes is just waiting for that before he commits!
