Ugh.
That makes five of the 23-24 team's most accurate 3pt shooters gone.

3 point shooters are like relief pitchers.  They are a dime a dozen because year to year volitility is high

I'll do some looks at the rosters but at this point it isn't even worth the effort. Wake me up in the summer.

This is good, so long as the replacement is an ace recruiter, which Oliver wasn't.

Rumors of Gard hiring his brother. That would be a huge mistake in my opinion.

Nepotism in coaching may work sometimes but it can also be a catastrophe. The Iowa/Ferentz situation was similar to JoPa hiring his son at Penn State earlier. 

I've been thinking about this lately because Jake Diebler's brother Jon is a guy that I would ordinarily love to see as an assistant at Ohio State. He was a star for some great Ohio State teams under Matta and when he graduated he was the league's all time leader with 374 3pt shots (since surpassed by Jordan Bohannon). He holds the league's fifth (116 in 2009-10) and seventh (114 in 2010-2011) most threes in a season and is the fifth most accurate long range shooter ever to play in our league. 

Jon is also a current college basketball coach. He serves as Director of Recruiting at Butler.

Gard's brother is the HC at UW-Platteville. Gard played there under Bo Ryan.

It's fake news.

M. Sisoko (MSU) now in the portal.  I had really hoped this trend (having to replace half your team every year) was going to be a short-lived thing, but I'm guessing the wild wild west is here to stay.

Didn't really make any sense for him to stay

Not until there is some regulation. The NCAA is now professional leagues with no salary cap, no contracts, no nothing. It's a joke.

In the NBA you have to wait 4 years to become a free agent. In the NCAA, you have to wait 4 days.

He could have left as a grad transfer even under the old rules
