picture a Donta who can put the ball on the floor and shoot the 3-point shot.


So a top 5 draft pick.

Tchikou is about 2" taller than Donta as well.

If they bubble Maui and B4A teams together that’s one tough arse schedule no matter which teams you play

Yeah that too. I think Tchikou is going to need 2-3 years in college because like Oats said, he's still very raw, but an almost 7 foot tall Donta with a handle and 3pt shot is a frighteningly good player.

If we get two years I’ll be happy. If he stayed for a Junior season, we could be looking at SEC POY potential.

I haven't seen him play. Is really as "ultra" athletic as Donta?

Hall is a bit more athletic, but Tchikou can literally bring the ball up the floor with no problem, hit a crossover dribble and bury a 25 foot shot with regularity.

Totally different style of players offensively with Tchikou being much more versatile.

Tchikou could/should also develop into at least 80% of what Donta was defensively.

Nah. Tchikou is athletic for his size, but Donta has springs for legs.

If that’s true, it’s going to be scary how good he can be. He’s a guy that uses shot fakes to perfection, has a nice handle and step back move and looks the part of a good finisher as well. If y’all haven’t seen his YouTube highlight video that came out a couple weeks ago, I’d encourage you to check it out. He has a lot of scoring tools. LINK




I've never seen that video of Keon. He has length, speed, good handles, and is explosive.

Jesus this team is so much better on paper than we've had in a while. My hope is we're more efficient on the defensive end.

Could be a golden opportunity during the "Golden Window" for mid-majors to get non-conference games if they're not in early season tournaments.

If we play a whole season with no fans should the selection committee alter their Quads if they're truly no road or home games? Like should every game be classified as neutral site even if they say take place in Tuscaloosa with no fans?

I hope not. Whether there’s fans or not, an away game still isn’t your home gym or where you practice.

And travel does make some difference as well.

BREAKING: NCAA Files To Trademark “Battle In The Bubble.”


They’re also going to be selling merch with this trademark. Makes me think it’s pretty much official everyone will play nonconference in a bubble. I’m guessing there will just be a bunch of bubbles across the country (maybe Atlanta or Orlando for us) and the entire thing will just be called “Battle in the Bubble”
