    DA controls (to a degree) how many minutes he plays, by how he does when given opportunities

    I like that he is very active defensively also

    TV mentioned he earned court time in practice which is good to hear.

    The rectangular black hole that talks to me. AKA my best friend.

    Are most of your friends, inanimate objects?

    I will think about that as I sit in the warm embrace of my sofa.

    While I watch the Michigan game replay, thinking Aberdeen looks better than Kugel.

    I agree about Aberdeen vs Kugel right now. I also have a tendency to talk to inanimate objects, especially the ones that intentionally stub my toe.

    If he gets passed over next year for a substantial role, it would be in his best interests to hit the portal. As a player, I’d rather start and get minutes at another school than ride the pine at my first school of choice. Not getting minutes sucks. Would be nice to see him get a shot at starting next year.

    Aberdeen has a chance to be the best player on the team next season. We need to keep him happy.

    Every guy on the team next season has a chance to be the best player on the team next season.

    You could be right. For sure top 3. Should start at PG. We have very good bigs hopefully coming back. Who do you see at SG?

    That would be a good 3, but who knows what next year's team will look like? There's so much movement in college basketball, this year's team only has Kugel, Richard, Aberdeen, May, Szymczyk and Klatsky back from last year. I'm just excited to watch this year's edition and think they have a shot to make some waves.

    If no one jumps into the portal, we should have a really good nucleus coming back next season.

    Think your right. Very good back court. With Handolton,Condon, Haugh we might have something.

    I would love to see them in Gainesville for their whole college careers.

    We’ll need another big with Samuels leaving. Most likely to back up with Condon and Micah starting.
