After stockpiling the roster with shooters last year, I'm okay with a guy who can defend, and dribble and get to the basket.

If he can get to the basket then he is AWFUL at drawing fouls. Over 37 mpg and 2.1 FTA per game.

He better be Marcus Garrett to Kevin McCullar defender.

My guy PJ Haggerty in the portal!

Go get him and Cedric Coward and we would be salty.

PJ is going to be so expensive.

I'd love, love, love Coward though. Even though it sounds like he (right now) will be staying in the draft.

Sounds like a federal judge in NJ is strongly considering granting a preliminary injunction that would prohibit the NCAA from enforcing its 5 year eligibility rule.

We’ll find out next week.

Oh no...

Oh no no no.

I don't understand why it is anyones business that a school or NCAA has to do anything. It's a choice to go to college. They should be able to do whatever they want and enforce rules as they see fit. If they wanna pay kids if they dont. If they wanna allow 10 years in school or if they don't.

What is next? Can't make little Johnny leave high school in 4 years. He has to be able to stay 8. Not fair! Parents are purchasing tickets to high school football games and the coaches are paid! Exploitation! Every child should be paid for playing a game. Think of the children. High school kids are on ESPN in basketballs. I feel so bad for them they are exploited!

We're nearer society going the path of Idiocracy than any of us want to admit.

On the plus side, though, Dickinson could come back if they scrap eligibility rules completely.

The only one I would want back is Zeke. He wouldn't have to do any playmaking with DP. Just sharpshooter.

KJ ain’t leaving until he’s the all time leading scorer in program history.

7 or 8 more years should do it
