He’s just flat now, if that makes sense. I think our football team killed his soul

Agree.

His posts are reminiscent of a can of beer that was sitting in my drink console on my riding lawn mower, constantly vibrating, and then you drink it.

I didn’t think he had a shot before the season (and even the first couple games) but he’s showing a lot more offensive upside with every game. He’s way better around the basket than I expected.

Most impressive thing to me last night was the pace at which J’Von pushes the floor

Okoro is twice the player on offense that I expected. Very, very smooth finishing around the rim and can go left or right.

His defensive potential is off the charts too. Even in the NBA he could guard 1-4 against most teams (I probably wouldn't line him up against a Kristaps Porzingis type 4, but you get my point)

Bruce loves some Israeli settlements on twitter. I find it strange he is my source for middle east news.

IMO there is no downside. It will suck to lose him, but Bruce will use it to continue to improve recruiting.

Agreed. I don't see us becoming like Kentucky where we have to replace 3-4 freshmen studs every year but might be getting to a point where the core of our rotation is 3-4 year guys with 1-2 uber talented underclassmen mixed in

Yes, for every 1 and done talent there are 5 1 and done hopefuls that realize they aren't 1 and done. They are all great players and help teams. We will get our share of the latter IMO.

As long as we continue recruiting undersized ultra athletes in the post then teach them to shoot 3s.

The one downside would be Okoro not getting to play with Shariffe. Those two had a great chemistry in HS.
