Diop prediction to Arkansas

This is where playing time and the transfer portal comes into play. Keep in mind Scholarships are renewed yearly.

ā€œHeā€™s a long play.ā€

Muss tried the long play with Connor Vanover, and we all saw how that turned out.

#24

Right. Good point.

#25

I trust Muss. If he thinks Diop can help, who are we to doubt him?

Youā€™re right Jeremy. Muss has done plenty to not be questioned on who he recruits and why.

Donā€™t doubt Muss at all. Right now Iā€™m more inclined to doubt Grafā€™s prediction of Diop to Arkansas. Think someone jumped the gun on that one.

#28

Yeah, we should let it play out. We did say the era of projects is over when we hired Muss.

#29

yeah

as far as we know, staff is on to more immediate contributors

He is not a ā€œbigā€. Heā€™s 6-10

Itā€™s semantics, probably, but long play doesnā€™t mean project to me. (And, Iā€™m not saying thatā€™s your point). Muss calls them developmental players, and I think thatā€™s what Diop is - someone who we donā€™t expect to come in and get primary minutes immediately. Pinion is the same.

I think we all just have to accept that not every player has to be a top 50 guy because Muss plays a relatively small number of players each game. So, itā€™s ok to take a Diop type player.

Iā€™ve said I like High more than Diop, but if Diop significantly helps us get Fall, Iā€™m absolutely ok with it. Diop might fit our culture better, too.

Could still be growing to

Wing span?

#35

No, from what Iā€™ve seen that is his height. As I said above, he was a PG and is now a SF. Not a ā€œBigā€

#36

Connorā€™s not a scrub either. Just didnā€™t fit Mussā€™s system. He could flourish with the right coach and system.
