Juwan got trolled, theres a reason why the blue bloods never put serious effort into a kid the caliber of Christopher. He was going to asu as soon as his brother went there.

Even without Todd, Juwan is bringing in 3 top-75 players on a shortened recruiting season. That’s still on par with Beilein’s better recruiting years. Oh, and he got one of the more sought after Grad-transfers.

Wish I could have experienced this entire night purely from a Cole Bajema needs minutes hive perspective…

What’s the possible impact of the quarantine and the general uncertainty of the world here? All of us are putting family first right now and, in a time where no one can leave their home no less fly from Michigan, he was with his bro, a big reason to commit to ASU, 24/7. This decision may be 100% about basketball/other reasons and my post is purely speculative; I have not followed the recruitment closely so also may be stating the obvious

Certainly not new, it’s the same thing with everything on this board. People are so quick to make everything the end of the world. Literally just last week there were lots of comments pointing out that even if we miss out on Josh we would still have a very competitive team. Now we don’t get him and we aren’t even a top 25 team? I get it’s a position of need but that need was to be an immediate title contender not just a fringe competitor.

I wondered the same.

Am I frustrated? You bet. Am I disappointed? Absolutely. Is Ant vindicated? Maybe. Does this mean we fall short of our own expectations? Oh, he!! no! We will be a very good team still. And let’s hope Livers stays and Smith overachieves - again! GoBlue!

Huh? I think the general take from the board has been that this team would not be very good without Christopher. Mike Smith is now our only ball-handler. Not great.

Really, do people actually think that?

Someone call Greg Brown and tell him he can play point guard.

I was mentioning that above. I think staying close to home and having family around him became more important.

Um yeah? Last years team went through a lot of struggles because they lacked ball-handling and creation. This team will be even worse at that. WAY worse. This is gonna be a very meh team now.

Also. I hope we see ASU in the tourney next season and Eli Brooks stuffs this kid in a locker for 40 mins and we see Eli talk trash for the first time in his career.

Unless Isaiah Todd shows up and is really really good, yes I think that.

Smith, Brooks, Wagner, Livers, any center is going to struggle horribly to create good shots.

And if Livers goes pro or Todd doesn’t enroll or shudders both…a week ago I was told there was no possible way that happens. Doesn’t feel that crazy now.

That seems like a wack take to me but I suppose time will tell.
