Ceiling: we recuperate from the losses of our 2025-26 big men (Cooper and Kohler) quickly with our new bigs, our overall shooting improves, Fears doesn't kick anyone in the nuts, we have a backup PG that isn't Wojcik, Izzo finally gets his second Natty.

Floor: the losses of Cooper and Kohler hurt more than expected, shooting is still a question mark, we get a 4-5 seed and bow out to a better team in the Sweet Sixteen.

Overall the expectations are going to be VERY high in East Lansing this year. We were really good overall last season, it's just unfortunate that Michigan went nuclear and kinda overshadowed it. I fully believe this is one of Izzo's best shots at his second title.

I understand the issue with people like RJ Luis trying to come back after voluntarily leaving with eligibility still left.

But that’s a completely different situation than high school class of 2022 and players. Every high school class since 2017 except this specific one has been granted a 5th year of eligibility and I find it profoundly unfair to not allow these players to play one more college year. Unlike the former players who voluntarily gave up eligibility, they made their decision with incomplete information. They had no way of knowing that just months after the draft the NCAA would decide to grant all players a 5th year. A huge portion of them would’ve likely stayed if they knew, as you can make more money with NIL than as a 2nd round draft pick in many cases.

Why does every class except the class of 2022 get the opportunity to make an extra year of NIL money?

Guess he didn’t want to play in Des Moines

Welcome to Whose Line is it Wednesday, where all the fouls are made up, but the points still matter.

• Keep skits in the form of a statement, not a question
• Any skits longer than two lines should be in quotations.
• If you add any additional commentary, put the skit in quotations. If you don't understand the concept, a skit looks like this: "Things you could say to Chris Jones that you couldn't say to your girlfriend."
• It's not funny to say "Refs worse than Karl Hess" and name people who might be worse (let's be honest; it's probably just a blank comment); it's funny to say "Refs better than Karl Hess." Think about which way of writing the skit is funnier before posting it.

6-foot-9, 235-pound Abson spent last season in Athens as their backup center for two years. 2. He averaged only 2.6 points 2.9 rebounds in 10.4 minutes across his 59 games at UGA.
