This is from 2019 and was retweeted today for some reason. I have no idea what most of the numbers mean, but it's another confirmation of how good JG might be. The author does analytics for ESPN College BB.

On another note, Venning committed to Morgan State and Richards committed to the Rajun Cajuns. I thought Richards would go higher than that.

Does anybody from the Wakefield area know anything about Ryan? We haven't seen too many preferred w-o's in BB.

With John Buggs leaving, it opens up a slot for 2020 (if there is a 2020). Has anyone heard anything about a transfer or recruit we are looking at to fill that slot? There are a lot of uncommitted transfers out there.

At this point, with the uncertainty surrounding the season overall, maybe it's just leave it be for 2021...?

He decided not to go there a short time later. Anyway, that was a random thought by me. Not sure there is any connection.

We would beat Pitt this year. Femi should have came along for the ride

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he ended up here in the end. Kids are transferring at alarming rates right now and if the team stinks and he doesn't get much run, why not?

^ If the team is no good and they aren’t getting any playing time, why would we believe that they could make UM better?
The high school payers are recruited on projections, how they play in college is reality,

^ I've been informed that Femi broke his arm in late August, and as such I assume he missed a lot of practice time and is way behind where he would normally be. Probably can't infer too much from his early season play.

Pitt freshman guard Femi Odukale broke his arm in an accident over the weekend, an injury that will sideline him indefinitely, the school confirmed Wednesday.
Odukale was riding an electric moped in Pittsburgh when he collided with a car, a wreck that sent him to the hospital and required surgery.
