Washington PG Zoom Diallo in the portal and visiting UK this weekend. The kid is 6'4", plays with size and extreme physicality you rarely get at the point guard position, and just put up 15.7 points and 4.5 assists a game as a sophomore while starting 29 of 33 games on a broken roster that lost 8 players during the season. His usage and assist rates both rank in the 94th percentile among all D1 guards. He can get into the lane, make multiple reads in pick and roll, and is equally dangerous going left or right. The negatives are real though. Washington went 16-17 with him as the best player...due in large part to worse injuries than UK had. His three point shooting sat at 31% even while having a nice stroke. Much of this was him having to force shots. Turnovers were also a consistent problem....again, in some part due to having a bad team. Defensively he gets exposed by quicker guards in space and that's all on him. Two years of eligibility remaining. Pope better close this one fast because he won't be available long.

@Cxt5s @BigBlueDylan @CatsBy90edits @BleedBNetwork @BleedBlueCasey @tsm_portal @SportsCastProd @TrutherCbb @MattSakR2NG @SteinsStuds @uktorv Pt2. Pass immediately after watching the tapes. He never was who everyone thought he was. That was made up by hope and hype and prayer. The FAU kid were after can’t stay on the court here at lifetime in Boca. Can’t guard NO ONE. Terrible decision if we offer him.

@Cxt5s @BigBlueDylan @CatsBy90edits @BleedBNetwork @BleedBlueCasey @tsm_portal @SportsCastProd @TrutherCbb @MattSakR2NG @SteinsStuds @uktorv We keep getting fooled by these stats and 2 minute highlights. Canisius guard K singleton 14 ppg on 40-90-40 splits. You want him? His team was 10-21. Every team HAS to have someone score, rebound, pass. I’m sick of HYPING bad talent on YouTube videos. I watched Lowe film and was

@KentuckyKroge What’s so great about Kentucky? Unless you’re from there it’s a pretty miserable place to be. This is coming from a Ky fan.

What’s so great about Utah? I know that he’s a Mormon and his religion means something to him. I can’t believe he’s leaving knowing the type of relationship he had with Pope, we’re probably talking about a four year relationship and it’s coming down to money. This new era of college basketball is ridiculous.

Funny how that works eh?

$CLNV TRILLIUM got their 5m shares from our settlement yesterday. That is your selling pressure at the moment. Once they clear that small piece it will pop right back. They have 1 more 5m piece next month and they are 100% gone. PROGRESS🫵

@BarstoolUK Anyone who was on a winning team that was a top 3 player on that team scoring 17+ ppg. Bigs avg nearly double double and rim protection
And a winning team is a tournament team

This is why Dawn Staley will never be a true legend.
It's all Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton and whatever is best for Dawn Staley. Of course her players can't win the big one... their coach is too worried about her brand to actually care about what UCLA is doing.
Again, Dawn Staley wore a $2,300 Balenciaga jacket to the national championship game tonight. No South Carolina logo. No team colors. No Gamecocks branding anywhere on her. Her team lost 79-51. That jacket tells you more than the score does.
Staley is a decent enough coach. Three national championships. A perfect 38-0 season in 2024. Five National Coach of the Year awards. The highest-paid women's basketball coach in the country at $4.25 million a year.
But somewhere along the way, Dawn Staley the coach became Dawn Staley the brand. Her fans call her "Louis Vuitton Dawn." She wore Gucci for the first round this year. Balenciaga for the second. Gucci again for the Sweet 16. Louis Vuitton for the Final Four. There are entire articles dedicated to ranking her outfits by round. WWD tracks her sideline looks. Essence runs features on her style. She published a memoir last year called "Uncommon Favor" that became a New York Times bestseller.
None of that is a crime. She's allowed to be all of those things.
But tonight she stood on the sideline in a luxury brand's name while her team put up the worst title-game performance in program history. South Carolina shot 29% from the field. 2-for-15 from three. Their starters went 8-for-31. Joyce Edwards, their leading scorer, was held to 3-for-10 for eight points.
UCLA outscored South Carolina 25-9 in the third quarter. That's the largest single-quarter margin in championship game history. By the end of that quarter it was 61-32.
South Carolina averages 86.5 points per game. They scored 51. That's 35 points below their own standard in the biggest game of the year.
Meanwhile, Gabriela Jaquez had 21 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists. Only the fifth player in history to put up a 20-10-5 in a title game. Lauren Betts had 14 and 11. UCLA's six seniors scored every single one of their 79 points.
Cori Close won her first national championship in her 15th year at UCLA. She wasn't trending for what she was wearing.
The full story on how Dawn Staley's brand showed up and her coaching didn't is here:
itsgame7.com/news/dawn-stal…
Two days ago, Staley beat UConn 62-48 in the Final Four. She looked every bit the championship coach. Geno Auriemma melted down so badly that assistants had to separate them near the scorer's table.
Two days later, her team came out flat against UCLA, fell behind early, never adjusted, and got run off the floor by a team that wanted it more. The third-largest margin of victory in title game history.
The Balenciaga jacket didn't cause the loss. UCLA was better. Their defense suffocated South Carolina. Their size inside was a problem the Gamecocks never solved.
But when you show up to a national championship game wearing somebody else's name instead of your school's, and your team looks like they forgot whose name they were supposed to be playing for too, the image sticks.
She's still rich and famous. Good for her. But tonight, the brand showed up and the coaching didn't.

@KentuckyF34638 The talent evaluations at Kentucky are horrid. Last year Pitino helped Pope can’t find the eye for it yet.
