Bryce Pope is a baller. Big loss for UCSD. His stat line tells me he's more a SG than a PG, and we need someone to run the point. He did put up 15 on us and Washington and 14 on Cal, so he can score, but can he play D at the level we would need? In other words, DOES HE LIKE THE D?

PTR Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Mash was to be expected. I think his options will be somewhat limited. He can be "the man" on a Pacific or a Gerogia St. caliber team and jack up 20 mid-range jumpers or he can accept a role position on a decent P5 team. It will be interesting to see what direction he goes. He could also go pro and play overseas. The Forsling thing probably should have happened a year ago. I'm more concerned about the big 3 (Dent, Tru, Toppin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen reports of "a player with multiple years of eligibility" nothing beyond that. Could be Toppin, could be Dent, could be both. Could be neither.

It might be a bad sign for UNM that both USC and UCLA are dogshit. Dent would likely move into a starting role with either team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most leave as soon as a collective indicates there is cash for the player. It's a zero sum game for the non or low NIL Schools Quote "We don't have evidence but, we have lot's of theories."
