I don't want to hi-jack the thread, but I will say a few quick things: 1) It's less about being able to afford it than it is something most parents may choose not to buy. 2) That's a bad target demographic for jersey sales, IMO 3) No youth sizes being available will limit much if the sales for kids. Happy they're doing it though and looking forward to seeing what else they cook up!

A Cavs jersey will run $120 for adult sizing, but only $90 for youth. Basketball jerseys are typically worn by middle school through college-age kids. Maybe things have changed, but I certainly couldn't afford $159 jerseys as a poor college kid and I don't see many parents shelling out $159 for a jersey their kid will grow out of in a year. Again, I'm thrilled they're doing more things like this, because it's sorely needed - I just don't think they'll sell more than a handful at that price point. We can certainly agree to disagree on that.

I can't imagine he's being cut unless that injury was a career-changing one. He was a starter before he got hurt.

He posted an Instagram story yesterday that looked like he was at a mall in Columbus. No activity otherwise on his socials.

I'm not sure what to tell you - they use NET.

One fascinating aspect to all of this is how playing time shakes out. Our past transfers have typically been guys who were blocked and weren't going to play much, if at all, if they stayed. Right now, we have: Lyles/MMK N. Johnson/Mahaffey Okonkwo/Brisco Scott/Hardman T. Johnson/Young But we will have 2 open scholarships (maybe 3 if Harris leaves), and we obviously want to get better. How Groce manages all of this will be something to watch.

I'm going to assume Perkins and Henderson are going to be redshirts. So 2 open scholarships, 3 if Harris doesn't return, and the ability to pitch being a part of a team aiming to 3-peat in the conference and go to the tournament for the 4th time and 5 years. Let's gooooooo!

Josiah Harris is the only scholarship player who hasn't posted anything tonight.

Wow. This is incredible.

Not to the Selection Committee. The selection committee uses a number of factors to rank teams for the S-curve, including record, strength of schedule, and the NET in the Division I men's tournament and the RPI in all other championship tournaments. Relative subjective comparison of individual teams close on the S-Curve are also considered.

Drake 28-3 overall, 17-3 Conference Net Ranking: 56 Quad 1 and 2 wins: 6 McNeese State 25-6 overall, 19-1 Conference) Net Ranking: 58 Quad 1 and 2 wins: 1 Akron 28-6 overall, 17-1 Conference Net Ranking: 91 Quad 1 and 2 wins: 1

I've heard something related to a contract UA has with Barnes and Noble that limits what they can produce/sell, but I don't really understand it or know if there's a way to get out of it. I will say that, as a person with a closet full of Zips gear, I was jealous that the guy from Barstool that they sent a box of gear to got so many cool items after he hopped on the bandwagon for a week. 😂 Maybe now that Charles is gone, the surplus sale will come back!

I don't doubt it. I'm just saying, that wasn't the norm in college basketball 5 years ago.
