Why? Because he showed to be a pretty good MAAC level guard as a redshirt freshman. Started 15 games and averaged 21 minutes a game. 3 years to play. Would be a very solid addition.

Why would he be a "solid addition"? He's leaving NU for $$, right? There's not much in NIL $$ at CU. So we lost 4 good Frosh who likely would have become better Sophomores. Is this the way to build a D1 MBB program? It's a Merry Go Round. What to do?

Because he proved to be pretty good last year and was well regarded coming out of high school. They're all leaving for money. You don't think they would have had to pay the same or more to retain any of the 4 freshmen? He was better than 3 of those guys you are alluding to anyway and was in the same ball park as Edwards.

Well, not yet they weren't. But good coaching would grow them. Isn't that what College athletics are supposed to be about? In D1,2or3 and even in the "Big 5"? Before SCOTUS turned them all into "pros" (except D3). We can only hope that Congress will correct that.

And maybe with good coaching, Landon Williams will be the best of the group.

Maybe, if he chooses CU (not likely-$$). But BG would rather watch Edwards and the other three as Sophomores, then Juniors, then Seniors, like in the good old days (pre-2022).

[> [> Adapt to survive -- Darwin, Thu, April 09 2026, 16:28:03

Look we know that this new wild world of college basketball is terrible for schools like us. We need to adapt to some degree by being a stepping stone for players to move up. Sorry BfloGriff it’s not going to change anytime soon. If anything changes the MAAC will pressure schools like us & Niagara to step up or step out. If we don’t make an effort I could see a shift like Bona moving to the MAAC & bringing other schools in like LaSalle. The A10 is a better conference but Bona is drowning in debt to be at the bottom when it comes to budget. We might end up in the NEC. I doubt we would drop to D2 or D3 but all eyes are on the schools who are at the bottom & figuring out where they belong in this new world basketball order.

Darwinism at CU? BG doesn't think so. Have you seen the new Golosino Center?

The school needs to step it up. Some of that Golisano $ on Answer the Call campaign needs to go to athletics. Go Griffs!
