From the Athletic:
“The freshman of the year in the SoCon, he’s quicker and shiftier than you expect when you first put on the tape, and he’s tough. His little inside-out hesitation move really gets separation from his man, and he plays with longer strides than you think from a 6-3 guard. His bag of tricks, crossovers, and footwork is very real. Everything he does seems to come with a level of decisiveness. He plays at speed, but doesn’t seem out of control. He’s a pull-up threat from all over the court. He made 35 percent of his pull-up 3s this year, and had a 50.1 effective field goal percentage on his pull-up jumpers as a whole, per Synergy. He can finish at the rim and doesn’t shy away from contact. His center of gravity and body control are strong even when he’s bumped. Paveletzke can definitely pass and isn’t selfish, but he’s a bit more developed as a scorer right now. One coach I talked to compared him to former Marquette star Travis Diener in the mid-2000s, and that’s about right to me. There are a lot of holes to fix defensively with him, and Wofford’s defense was kind of a mess this season in part because he wasn’t disruptive at the point of attack. But if he cleans that part of his game up, Paveletzke has every chance to be an all-league player at the high-major level as an upperclassman.”

Use your illusion Volume I
Cool idea although there are parts of the Alabama game day experience that won’t make the video including post-game activities…
Oats is also facing a massive rebuild in an era where having a true freshman star perform at a high level like Miller is the exception not the rule.
Two seasons ago faced with using his own players for the first time Oats and Alabama were a huge disappointment, of course, losing to UGA among other horrors.
He’s also losing perhaps all of his staff to other HC positions including his ace recruiter.
He’s a talented coach but challenges await…

Handgloten is at UF where the Analytical I’m totally with it Todd will try to convince him that he’s the next Castleton, problem is Todd didn’t invent Castleton and this season used to him to the exclusion of other parts of UF offense.
UF is trying to get elite PG Speedy Claxton whose family is from Gainesville, however his former coach has him and his backcourt mate visiting St. John’s this weekend.
