Not in this particular landscape though. Although the portal/NIL existed before, last year was really the first year that we've started to see that in ways that blew up across the sport - and although Cruz and Jean were pretty good, Sanders was a bust they had a big drop-off overall last year.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think we can look to what they've done before with success and think that will necessarily translate to doing the same now. It feels like because of the increased player movement and the money being thrown around even more than before, they could be left without any great options this year (which, it seems, is why they tapped someone like Boyd, from Pace).

Only played 18 mpg and scored 4.8 ppg on a Wyoming team that went 12-20 this past season. He did shoot 42.9% from 3 during the year on a limited number (1.9) of 3-pt FGA.

Here are some of his stats from Holy Cross where he played as a freshman. https://goholycross.com/sports/mens-bas ... ills/14725

I didn't even bother listing it because it was more of the same (5.5 ppg in 15.9 mpg on a team that went 10-23). So, two years at two different stops of only a bit of production off the bench on two very bad teams. Not a lot there to get excited about.

The thing is that freshman stats can be telling because some freshman never see the floor much but in reality this kid earned 16 minutes a game which ok you can point to the quality of the team but he compares favorably to Jaquan Carlos in JC 'S first two years while getting far less minutes to JC in his sophomore season. He was in double digits in 6 games one was against Boston College in his freshman year so I'd like to look at this optimistically especially his 3 point shooting percentage.
People here should look at Lopez' stats also which were quite good as a freshman almost averaging 10 points a game. He could very well be a kid that's going to get plenty of minutes this season.
