What happened to Lewis? Why did he not play at all? I'm not sure I understand why Thomas or QMB are starting either.

Thomas is a waste of minutes...he stands around most of the time hoping to get a pass at 3 point line. His defense is awful....gets beat all the time off the dribble. Would like to see more of Noah and see if he can do more than just shooting 3's. I think Lewis should get more minutes...Dia too!

Totally agree about Thomas. Probably a great young man, but in 19 minutes he had no points (only 2 shots), 2 rebounds, no assists, no fouls, no blocks. His stat line reads almost like he didn’t even play.

sad but true. i've always liked trey, trying hard to play above his head. coach's lineups are head scratchers now. if he continues with the current strategy, it's not hard to imagine very quick 20+ point leads by the better sec teams....and we aren't built to crawl out of such holes.

Can’t say about his scholastic status, but he should have one more year (Covid) of eligibility after this one. He played 3 seasons at UC-Davis.

We have had plenty of transfers recently who certainly had not already graduated because they were only one or two years at another program. Quentin Millora-Brown is one.

The bigger problem may be getting a current athlete or transfer into a grad school program. See Ray Davis, for example.

I say to Candace/Admissions: Find a spot for Magnon, Millora-Brown and Jordan Wright.

PS: QMB is probably about to earn a Master’s Degree. There is always the PhD.

the young man has wisely brokered his hoops skills at two of the finest institutions in the us. kudos to him as a shining example of "student athlete".

Am told Manjon has two years of eligibility.

Assume he will be a 5th year senior next year.
