WIth NIL now a factor, if he continues on this path/development progression, we'll be luck to have him more than 2 years, 3 at most, before a bigger program scoops him up.

Let’s keep the ridiculous comparisons going. Maybe this class is just like Franks first KSU season. It will be very interesting if Garpare/Luis/Keon are Beasley/Walker/Pullen.

Luis really has potential to be a great insider/outside scorer with his size. He can shoot over smaller guards and looks to have decent 3 point range.

Let's also give him credit for making 2 absolutely pressure free throws to give us the 3 point lead at the end. That's a lot to ask from a freshman.

That's UM's first since in almost 2 years (Ronnie DeGray)

RJ should get the full Player of the Week after this week's numbers:
13-23 FG (.565)
26-28 FT (.929) 👀🔥
27.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 3.5 apg

I don't closely follow the weekly nods, but curious if the league ever gives PotW and RotW to the same person.

I agree - he should get both - no way anybody had as good a week as he did.

RJ nabs the last ROTW of the season.
23 & 7 at Duq
14 & 9 vs Bona

https://umassathletics.com/news/2023/3/ ... third-time

Seems like he's a safe bet to make the A-10 Rookie Team. Will be in the mix for ROTY, but is going up against a couple of leading contenders:
Maximus Edwards at GW
Yann Farell at Bona
They've each won or shared 5 ROTWs.

Edwards https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/pl ... rds-2.html
Farell https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/pl ... ell-1.html
RJ https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/pl ... uis-1.html

Tournament starts tomorrow so I think they'll announce the season awards later today.

A10 awards announced this morning. RJ made the All-Rookie Team.
https://atlantic10.com/news/2023/3/7/ba ... -year.aspx
https://umassathletics.com/news/2023/3/ ... ookie-team

RJ is UM's first Rookie Team member since Tre Mitchell in 2019-20 (when Tre was also ROTY).

RJ got beat out for ROTY by GW's Maximus Edwards.

This is fantastic. Great work, and I'm thrilled to know that RJ will be back. It's so great that a kid from Miami can look out his window in March with the kind of weather we've been having, and say "yes, this is where I want to play basketball". RJ is a true foundational piece.

If you've been on the fence about whether to join The Collective, this hopefully will help get you off the fence. Join today and help build this program!
