    Great news. Tape gives us some more versatility and options inside. We appear to have a lot of options on the perimeter, so it is nice to now have options inside.

    I found a highlight video. He looks pretty good against Ivy League opponents. Reasonably mobile and can initiate from outside the paint. Actually kind of reminds me of Vernon Carey how he seals his man or goes right into and through his defender, though obviously his level of competition has been much lower. Would love to get 15mpg out of him. Sounds like a great addition in terms of his size, ability, experience, and academics. Without him, who would Williams have even gone against in practice?

    Welcome!

    He's very likely to stick closely to his opponents while playing D.

    And, of course, seal off the defender while he's playing down low.

    His photographic memory will, ummm, record every play.

    Welcome to Duke! We were definitely light on the frontcourt so good to get another body there who could go to work.

    So, if I'm counting correctly we're at 14 scholarships currently for next year. I assume Carey is going pro which brings us to 13...Do I have my numbers right? (Buckmire as a former walk on could also go off scholly if needed I assume.)

    Buckmire has a scholy right now, right? Since he was a walk on would there be a scenario where they ask him to give his scholarship back? Obviously not the kindest thing to do, but maybe if it meant Vernon coming back... a man can dream, haha.

    My understanding is that's how "preferred walk-on" status works. If the school has a scholarship available they may offer it to you, but it's on a year-to-year basis and nothing is guaranteed.

    Definitely a better shade of blue - I am emeritus Columbia faculty and, in all of the years I've been here, never went to a bball game simply because I could not root for THAT shade of blue

    Walk-ons are not guaranteed scholarships. If there is one left over, they get it. But they signed on to be there without scholarship, so no scholarship is the expectation.

    Nothing wrong with the original color, it’s the copycats/ripoffs down the road that’s the problem.

    (If my dad had ever posted here, he would have been CU50.)

    I've been predicting a grad-student transfer for five years.

    So, I guess I'm at the Mendoza line.

    But this is the wave of the future and I suspect Tape is the first of many.

    And about time. Because it's the wave of the future and all.

    I'm confused

    How is 1 for 1 99.9%?

    I noticed the same thing. I'm sure kenpom does that for some reason... Perhaps such a small sample calculating it as 100% messes up his algorithm as it relates to other calcs/figures.

    Seems to potentially have some foul trouble issues, but still excited given the need we have for depth
    Just checked with local officials at LJVM in Winston-Salem, and they said he'll begin the 2021 game with 2 fouls.
