Yeah, a Nick Ward-like 20 MPG is probably a decent projection. Defensive miscues, fouls, and conditioning would likely limit his minutes upside unless something weird happens.

AFAIK, yes, which is why I assumed Izzo didn’t say “you’re gonna start next year” to either. Which, if you’re gonna go into the portal, I get. If not…

if Bingham and Marble were both back I would call MSU the clear-cut B1G favorites. Heck just one of them might be enough, just Bingham at least

Kohler seems to compare well with Matt Howard from Butler. Undersized C with good footwork at the post. I think it’s a fair comparison IMO

my Butler memory is not great but Howard was notoriously strong, right? built like an ox?

I’m not sure about the strength but I remember watching Howard as good post player but he’s short.

Howard had a great mustache too. Can’t see Kohler developing a good one

Well there are comparable cheddars and Incomparable Cheddars.

Do we think Chris Holtmann will be the OSU coach come 2028? Either by his choice or theirs? Interesting to think about…

The best time to give Juwan a raise was 20 games ago. The second-best time is now.

Didn’t he just get one before last season?

Yes. But still. I can’t think of a good reason why Chris Holtmann should be making more than Juwan. Or that any coach in the conference should be making more, much less six of them. If you’re not going to show him the admissions office, or the NIL pathway, at the very least show him the money. Michigan holds him to a higher standard than his peers and it’s only reasonable to pay him accordingly.

Guessing they gave Holtmann a raise because they just PAID Ryan Day.

Hard to give a raise to a coach who had to serve a 5 game suspension for a physical altercation.

Sigh. Fair. He threw away so much leverage over the school that I wanted him to have.
