Nah bruh. Tony Bennett is legit and Kyle Guy is going to improve a lot and probably be our go to player. Devon Hall will have a good senior season and Diakite will show what the hype about him was about. Still wish Tony could land those 1 or 2 5 star recruits that he needs in order to get over the National Championship hunt.

Yeah I figured it'd be Guy's team, but I think ya'll lost too much to really compete.

With the transfers we may struggle at first. But Perrantes was the only real legit impact player who we lost (Shayok was ok but he wasn't going to make or break us next season) and he was a senior.

Frank Mason wins the Wooden Award @Flight23 :mjcry:

He was my pick, but honestly Swanigan was really close to him for me too.

I didn't like his game at all freshman year I thought he had serious issues with passing the ball to see this and him likely get picked..:wow:

Shout out @Lucky_Lefty he was a believer day 1 in Frank.

Always thought he deserved PT over Tharpe, Frankamp (who was trash). Jesus man, just went back and looked at that 2013-2014 squad. Give that team to any top tier coach and they lose maybe two games tops. Mason, Selden, Drew, Joel, Tarik, Perry, Brannen, and Jamari. Anybody else on the roster is just there for GPA purposes

Why do u love his game so much breh

There's a lot I like about him but in short it's really his elite defensive talent, already a dominant rim protector. He's in that Ben Wallace realm I feel.

Plus, he's like the 5th youngest player in college basketball, younger than the top guys/big men next year, Bamba, Ayton, Duval, Porter ect.

I might go a little more in depth when I have some time some day and really break him down.

Honestly it's hard to make a comparison for a guy like OG.

I would say the closest has to be Mbah a Moute in terms of being able to guard 1-5 at a high level. I think OG is probably a little better on the perimeter than Mbah though.

He will definitely be a better offensive player than Mbah.

Another guy I think is sort of in that realm is Jerami Grant. OG has a much longer wingspan than him too.

Probably doesn't sound like a guy you'd want to take in the lottery but he will be able to contribute immediately with that high level of defense, and his offense is going to be better than the guys I mentioned.
