Regarding Bryce Hopkins: I really believe that his performance in games for the at least the last three weeks of the 2022-2023 season was negatively affected by Ed Cooley's defection to Georgetown. I'm sure the entire team was down. They must have heard rumors of his putting his house up for sale etc.. Any Friar Fan who watched the games at the end of the season could tell there was definitely something wrong. We will all see a marked improvement in Bryce's game this season. Go Friars!
Hi Alfred, I wrote an article after that season about how his numbers really fell off over the final 5-6 games of that season. At the time I speculated that it may have been fatigue from the physical pounding he took (plus, he stopped getting calls after taking so many FTs against UConn and Marquette), but Cooley's departure could have been weighing on him as well. One of those things we'll never know for sure.

Where is Oswin on this article? Did I miss something about him not playing this year?
I am going to be doing a preview on just Oswin and Anton Bonke Darryl, good call out!
Awesome, I think a lot of people are intrigued by these 2 and what they may become!!!!
