As this "offseason" thread winds up, here are 10 thoughts from Justin Williams on the team ($) https://theathletic.com/3756584/2022...shared_article

Personally, I am concerned about the defense and rebounding -- which were issues last year. Seems there is more offensive fire power, but -- as Mick Cronin used to say -- shooting comes and goes. If they are having an off night, will they be able to get enough stops and be tough enough on the glass?

As noted in the separate DDJ thread, DeJulius is going to help buy books for kids in Detroit, Cincinnati using jersey sale proceeds

The BB team stopped in Columbus (presumably on the way to Ohio "secret scrimmage" -- I think they did a similar think in Indiana last year before playing Purdue or someone):

Yep, I luckily ran into the whole team at bowling in that bottom pic. Got coach and Davenport to stop and take some pics with my kids.
