Just give the last 2 to long term walk-ons. Scholies are only year to year.

Mike Luke. Used to be on 1290 with Woodman
No insider knowledge on whether he's coming back, just my thoughts that I'm not sure he'll be more than 10-15 mpg.IndianaZonaFan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 4:19 pm So are we to assume we are getting Aiken back?
If so he fills a big void we had. I feel way more confident in this squad with him on the roster.
His offensive solution is simple. He should shoot layups, dunks and wide open, in rhythym threes. He should not shoot anything else.YoDeFoe wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 6:09 pm Very glad to have him back on the roster. Very much need him to be a dirty work player and chill on the three point attempts - last season dude shot 70% at the rim, 50% on 2pt jumpers, and only 30% on his threes but took more than half his attempts from three.
I’m very hopeful that on a much better team with a ton of scorers, he can take some better looks from deep and more importantly take max 40% of his attempts from behind the line.
Wildly efficient from everywhere except for the place that he loves to shoot from.
To Kim’s credit he wants to get into politics so at least there’s a reason for taking poli sci. He’s a ridiculously impressive guy.gronk4heisman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 12:09 pmThey take their poli sci major very SERIOUS! I always assumed poli sci was just the major people took to experience college without actually learning anything (sorry to you poli sci majors).

Ew, is it too late to ask WSU to take him back?ChooChooCat wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:07 pmTo Kim’s credit he wants to get into politics so at least there’s a reason for taking poli sci.

He should only shoot baskets he makes and not shoot the ones he's going to miss.Spaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 6:54 pmHis offensive solution is simple.

Please don't hate me for this post.

First, the game is:
https://youtu.be/VclQvqsNHNQ
Offensively, he scores twice on basically the same move from a baseline out of bounds play. That quick face to the left won't be there nearly as well on the college level, but he shows he can be quick, decisive and get to the rim strong.
Not so much on a dump off. He takes one and double clutches, missing twice instead of srawing a foul. On the upside, he tips it in a third time and stays after it well.
He has a show and go move off the catch that will he called a travel by Pac refs 100% of the time. These refs don't and he draws a foul.
Tough to evaluate on D. He shows well off the pick and roll but never really gets challenged by the dribbler. His recovery is ok, but not as quick back to his man, which leads to at least one open 3.
He rotates late and doesn't rotate into a solid block out and gives up an offensive board at one point. This is small stuff, but just what needs to get sharper.
Above comments are through 18:25 on the video. I didn't time stamp for them, sorry.
Right after 18:25, he makes a good move for his first J of the day. Solid balance and release on the shot.
Around 19:55, a defensive possession begins I'm not hyped about. You see him relax off ball twice. Second time, he's easily screened for a layup. This has been recurring so far. He gets a lot of people crossing his face off ball.
Next possession down, he shuffles his feet off the catch. Again, this is 100% a travel in college. He does finish with strong work on the glass.
Next defensive trip, around 21:30, he gives ground too easily and requires help.
Ok. I've watched as much as life will permit. Overall, you can see his has good (I won't say elite) physical tools. Has a developing offensive game that looks strong, but he needs to clean up his feet off the catch. Defensively, he needs to be much more active on the weak side and when challenged so as not to require help.
I remember these comments from when you made them - they seemed very important to the future of the program at the timeSpaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 6:47 pmFor YoDefoe.
