Random College Basketball Thoughts: 2020-21

[Rigby.]

We'll see where this OP goes

Last season thread: https://www.thecoli.com/threads/random-college-basketball-thoughts-2019-20.742678/

As of right now, we're trudging along like everything is aight. Ton of really good nikkas coming back, not many reported instances of mass covid shutdowns like CFB, lottery is August 20th and draft is October 16th.

Early Entrant Deadline: "As a result of the dates being pushed back, the NCAA has announced the deadline for players to withdraw their names from the draft and retain their college eligibility will be 10 days after the NBA Draft Combine or Aug. 3, whichever comes first."

They’re probably telling them that there’s not gonna be an NBA season next year and you don’t wanna be stuck in limbo without anywhereto go .at least with college there will be somewhere to work out, not sure how that will work if there will be no season and no contracts being signed. Just a thought

Jared Butler, Luka Garza, Xavier Tillman, John Petty/Kira Lewis, Isaiah Joe, etc. It wasnt gonna be top heavy with Zions and RJs or whoever, but in a CBB season that had a ton of parity, there was a ton of overlooked players that either could fill a roster out immediately or had really high ceilings

I only watched Ayo vs Penn State but breh was unconscious that game. and PSU had all the metrics of a team that was gonna finish as a top 3-4 seed at that point in time. shyt was crazy

LSU might win it all

seek help

Yeah probably something like that. And I dont think alot of these brehs are getting the type of feedback they'd like to hear either. bc with what'll have been a couple of transcendent recruiting classes amounting to the 2021 and 22 drafts....they gotta really have been painted a bleak outlook on their chances. I think a 4th overall pick in this draft would be like #11 in next years, not even BSing
