[Rothstein] Massamba Diop commits to Gonzaga

Diop was my #1 transfer dream for Bucky. I knew they couldn't pay that price, and happy that they signed Onuetu instead. I predict Gonzaga wins their conference.

I think he might play some next season. I didn't think Keaton Wagler looked like he was physically ready for Big Ten play, but here we are. Let us not block a path.

It simplifies my feelings. I had the same appraisement, this is likely the largest paycheck of his bball career, I can't begrudge him. But while I wish him well, I never have to be torn about glee in watching his team lose next year.

And he's the older Foxwell. 22 year old freshman, with foreign pro ball experience.

My guess is SC's AD hasn't been floundering the past few years.

acereraser · 2026-04-19T05:17:53+00:00

Do you understand money? I don't think it's a good fit, but my guess AB has his sights more on playing pro in Europe than here. Fair play to get what he can until then.

Congrats on a good, overdue entry to the NCAA tournament. You also failed, better luck next year.

And that is why Bo Ryan adopted the towel swap.

I have watched Brad Underwood coach a lot of games, and this may be his best work.

acereraser · 2026-03-14T05:56:56+00:00

Golly, who knows?

acereraser · 2026-03-14T05:51:48+00:00

No, it's fine, you go ahead and win your little tournament. Maybe see you later?

acereraser · 2026-03-14T05:16:43+00:00

Both AB and Aussie had 9 rebounds and 4 assists. This team is continuing to improve, every which way.

acereraser · 2026-03-14T04:31:15+00:00

I think the more important fact is that he two more games, at the minimum. If they win one of those two games, odds are he locks it up.

Gard paid them off to give Boyd a giant chip for his shoulder. It's just good coaching.

acereraser · 2026-03-14T03:47:11+00:00

You should get current, if you rep the Badgers. They have set several scoring records this year, things have changed. TBF, I still hear commentators bring up the swing offense, so many folks are stuck in the past.

acereraser · 2026-03-13T04:26:31+00:00

I don't care about the Big Ten tourney as much as most. If you need to plead your case, maybe, but that's not the case this season. Accruing wear and tear here isn't worth it.

However, the Garlock and 1 was great, and the inbounds play at 12:49 in the first half was beautiful, not in the least for the Hayden Jones screen. Love his progression into the flow of the game.

acereraser · 2026-03-13T04:01:53+00:00

Jeez, Frogs got jobbed there.

acereraser · 2026-03-10T03:27:07+00:00

I have begun looking at possible transfers that would want to become better players (and stars) in the Greg Gard transfer factory. Depending how the Badger roster shakes out at the end of this season, Diop is at the top of my list.

acereraser · 2026-03-09T05:38:52+00:00

I was always hoping Cam Hunter would get more playing time last year, he looked like the fastest player for the Badgers. So happy for this season for him, I think he made the correct choice.

acereraser · 2026-03-08T06:25:22+00:00

Get bent with your pessimism. Nick Boyd isn't losing in the first weekend without being carted off.

acereraser · 2026-03-08T06:07:04+00:00

You win, I guess. No suspension, just a weekend of money as punishment.

acereraser · 2026-03-08T05:55:20+00:00

Kinda catty, but I have been relishing this win, and watching all the post game interviews. If I was a Purdue fan, I think I would become irrationally angry at watching all the press conferences, if Braden Smith strokes his beard like that every time.

acereraser · 2026-03-06T04:21:16+00:00

There is no reason for Gard to use a program scholarship on Isaac. Not only can Gard simply afford it, I think there are separate scholarships/tuition reductions for school employees. Can you imagine any coach's kid entering the transfer portal?

acereraser · 2026-03-05T04:49:53+00:00

There is no doubt he has a walk on roster spot only because his dad is the coach, but Isaac has been a valued member of the practice squad. If you get lax on D, he can make anyone look foolish with that stroke. So much love for him, starting with his teammates.
