Wooga and Kyshawn apparently went off in the scrimmage
Rothstein also came away hyping George a few weeks ago. I think he’s the real deal.

Freshman SG Kyshawn George impresses at preseason practice
A look at freshman shooting guard Kyshawn George's performance in Thursday's practice.247sports.com
Casey looks like he is preparing to play a stretch 4 role. His jump shot looks pretty good. I hope he can give us some defensive minutes as a post defender but I have zero problems with playing him more as a shooter than post offensive player like Omier.

According to Chris Stock, Wooga had 31 of his team’s 91 points. My comp for Wooga next year is Benedict Mathurin who played at Arizona a few years ago and was a 1st round pick. A 3 level scorer and great athlete.

Mathurin is a bit stockier and shot a pretty low 3 pt percentage as a rookie last year. Wooga shot nearly 38% from 3 and I think will only continue to improve in that area.

A top 3/4 seed is pretty **** good. I believe they’ve twice been a 2

I have been saying this since we signed George, he is going to be a massive player for us as the season goes on. European scouts were saying this guy is an NBA prospect. He didn’t come here to wait around. He will come in and make an impact for us. He can handle the rock and facilitate like a pg. Europeans in college may not be as physical but I can see him grabbing boards taking it down the court and scoring. Can’t wait to see him play
This is a well rounded team set to explode once they get the experience... we are much better than last year
Should have been a Top Ten but .. well

How are we much better than last year? That was a final 4 team that lost 2 players to the NBA. Do agree that we’re well rounded but on paper we are not a better team than last year.

Wooga Poplar will be ACC’s top breakout player
Junior shooting guard Wooga Poplar is primed for a breakout season in 2023-24.

I know people have different views of ****ie V, but for someone like me who was a teenager in the 80’s. Vitale was the first and only announcer who seemed to actually enjoy the game. His contemporaries talked like they were reading the news. ****ie V changed college basketball broadcasting forever.
As I got older I got tired of his schilling for certain coaches with whom Vitale is/was friends, but he is a great ambassador for the sport.

Because nobody is factoring in Wooga. By midseason, Wooga will be in the discussion for ACC PoY. I saw a listing of top 25 ACC players and only Omier and Cleveland were listed. No discussion of Pack. If Jim is raving about Wooga, then you know he is the goods. Sounds like George is going to easily replace Beverly.

I've seen lists that had Pack in the top ~25 among all players nationally. (I think it was the Field of 68)
Everyone has lists this time or year

Yes, I saw Pack was #17 on one national list. He is being undervalued within his league. Shocking.
I disagree. This team will be better. We'll spend majority of the regular season in the top 15. However, post season success will depend on coaching and matchups. And, Jim Larranga has a proven track record.
N. Pack and N. Omeir are year older and all conference caliber players.
Wooga Poplar has NBA draft lottery written all over him if he continues his natural progression
M. Cleveland is a legitimate NBA prospect (late 1st round). He was a major contributer under Lenord Hamilton.
B. Joseph is a year older and a legit 3 and D guy.
AJ Casey gained experience and is bigger from last year. I thought he played out of position due to lack of depth. With the addition of M. Nwoko, he can be stretch 4 and I think we'll see his confidence increase.
M. Nwoko and K. George wasn't on this roster last year. If they can give 15 us minutes per game, that will be a major boost to the team overall depth. Both are highly skilled freshman.
This is a make or break it type of year for C. Watson and J. Robinson.
N. Cassino is an interesting development project (2 year).
Just my perspective.
