AJ Storr to the draft, to maintain college eligibility. Not in the portal.

He needs another year to work on his handle and defense, IMO.

UGA somehow edged Ohio State in the "NIT", which of course is, well, whatever.  This was at times a decent UGA squad, certainly not great, but "OK", maybe they rely on 3s too much at times, I watched them rarely.  You'd think UGA should be more competitive at the sport.
It was a fun game to watch, even streakier than most BB games. It seemed like each time one team seemed to be firmly in control either they would get cold or the other team would get hot to the point that the team firmly in control switched. Rinse and repeat until the 79-77 final.

I just read about it, and the article did note both teams went on long streaks at times.  I'm sort of fascinated we still have the NIT.  I guess the winner gets a nice looking trophy and probably feels fairly good about it.

“I think Greg puts us in the best position to be successful into the future,” McIntosh said. “I think Greg has a great understanding of what’s needed in the continued evaluation of our program to get there. It’s a program that’s been evolving with the times that we live in, and I’m excited about some of the things that he and I talked about for the future and the evolution of our program.”

Just saw that Gus Yalden announced to the portal as well.  Was Wahl using his extra covid year or is he gone?

Wahl is done. This was his Covid year. He did not redshirt.

No surprise on Yalden. Kid had all sorts of issues, from scooter crashes while stoned, alcohol arrests, wrecking a hotel room (after which was not allowed to travel with the team).

Don't let the door...

Good news? Opens up another 'ship for a transfer who will actually contribute. Gard has been very good at that.

Next year looked so promising. So, he declares for the draft, and then enters the portal.

Went to 4 high schools and 2 colleges so far. That's a lot of one and done.

Yeah, F off.

*************************************

"To the incredible fans of the Wisconsin Badgers, as I sit down to write this message, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the University of Wisconsin," Storr wrote. "This journey as a student-athlete has been one of the most profound experiences of my life. The unwavering support, guidance, and opportunities I've received from this community have been truly amazing.

"Joining this program under coach Gard has been a dream come true. It's been my lifelong ambition to play basketball at the highest level. I find myself at a pivotal moment. I have decided to engage and experience the NBA Draft process, all while maintaining my college eligibility.

"To my family, your unwavering support and encouragement helped keep alive my dream of playing in the NBA. As I ponder the next step, I'm reminded of a quote from one of my favorite players, Kobe Bryant, which resonates deeply with me. 'The most important thing is to try and inspire people, so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.'



"My time here has been filled with moments of inspiration, thanks to you all. My aim has always been to inspire and be inspired, to push boundaries, and redefine limits -- just as Kobe did throughout his career.


"The memories, lessons, and friendships I've made here will forever be a part of who I am. Thank you, Badger nation for everything."

That kid can shoot it. He was the second best player on his high school team. The best player is now a WR for Purdue and the third best player was Xavier Booker.
