Re: Damion Lee

Im not a fan of the one year grad transfers, even when it works out for us. Hope it gets fixed The typical grad transfer will be guys who redshirted due to injuries or due to not being ready. So guys who have received their degree after 4 years of college should have to sit out another year and be ...

Re: Damion Lee

Want this guy more than Tollefson. Just a personal preference, but if the choice has to be made, this guy helps the team in more matchups. Both would be great, sure, but there is such a thing as overkill when it comes to the grad transfer player. Whether we need Tollefson or Lee more depends entire...

Ryan Anderson is a four, can't play SF at all and will be the excuse why Rabb chooses Cal. Anderson/Tarc/Ristic is going to eat him up next year.
