Unnecessary and uncool.
I agree. Next year imo will be rough. The board will be calling for heads. 20-21 looks like a rebound year.I know it’s tough, but I believe if folks are patient for a few more years Collins can get this program on solid ground. At least to the stage where we are a middle of the pack (with some higher finishes) Big 10 team and make some tourney appearances.
If you look at the last 3 years we have now seen 4 of the highest rated recruits in program history or at least the last 20 years. Sure sometimes those ratings don’t end up predicting reality for a kid’s college performance, but it’s a nice start.
2018: Kupp & Nance
2019: Beran
2020: Berry. (Could have been even better if not for the VT changeroo)
Hoping maybe in 2021 class we can see a breakthrough to the first 5 star kid. I think we have a couple realistic shots to get one- be tough, but I think we will actually be in the final conversations likely.
Agree here, PPD. Still holding out hope for Pat Baldwin II, The Sequel . . . but 5 star guys are never going going to occupy much space on our menu. If CCC can settle into delivering a fairly steady diet of, say, a pair of 4 stars in most classes - and it doesn't seem unreasonable that he can - it won't be long 'til we're regularly knocking on the door of the top half of the Big Ten. Tournament-wise, that's a solid place to reside.I agree. Next year imo will be rough. The board will be calling for heads. 20-21 looks like a rebound year.
Additionally, I would be absolutely stunned if NU lands either if the 2021 5 stars with NU connections. I think that is ok, CCC is bringing in very good recruits for visits. A couple more 4 stars work just fine and round out the group.
Agree. But knocking on the door of the top half means consistently being in the 6-9 area. To me this is the realistic ceiling for NU. Which is fine with me.If CCC can settle into delivering a fairly steady diet of, say, a pair of 4 stars in most classes - and it doesn't seem unreasonable that he can - it won't be long 'til we're regularly knocking on the door of the top half of the Big Ten.

Wow! We are all set!
Hot damn! He never misses!
On a slightly more serious note... what’s up with the multicolored and seemingly small basketballs?
I think the yellow ball may be weighted and the white ball is a standard ball. I'll see if I can find out.
And sorry to burst your bubble, but he does miss, LOL.

Pretty sure they're both training balls--yellow definitely seems like a heavy ball.
That makes more sense. I couldn't really understand the benefit of working on step-back 3's with a weighted ball. I would think that would screw up your form. Underneath the basket, maybe I could see, but not from distance.I asked and all the balls were standard, including the yellow, white, blue, etc. Apparently that trainer has some sponsorship with the manufacturer of those balls. Not sure what brand.

Who's next?YAAAAAHHHHOOOOOO! We needed that!
Couldn't be happier to learn that the deciding factor was his relationship with the coaches and players. TB is an NU FIT! It's reassuring to see that CCC's sales presentation is being well received by top recruits.
Welcome to NU, TB.
Do not rest, recruiters! Get out there and close a few more!!!
I believe weighted balls are primarily used for ball handling and passing drills, with some occasional use right around the basket for finishing. In general, they shouldn't be used for shooting.
FYI, here's the ball manufacturer used in the video. You can own one for yourself for a cool $70.
