I'm going to stand by my Holmes take until the NBA stardom proves otherwise. Current rumors ay SVU have him returning because his draft status isn't 'all that great.' All-American or not.

Toppin is/was the better athlete. Holmes runs like he has a stick up his ass. His percentages down low are the result of no resistance in the A10. When faced with some physicality, he was a lesser player. His three-point shooting was mostly from straight on and only when left completely uncovered and designed to tell the pros 'yeah I got more to my game, I'm draftable, pick me, pick me.' I expect him to get snuffed in the NBA if he even makes it. Time will tell which of us is right.

@slu72: I'll do my best but will refrain from anything until the rosters have been set. Hoosier give a nice composite above and the bottom line will be how quickly a team builds chemistry and how they compete in their OOC schedule. A10 teams have a tendency to play absolutely no one (not their fault) and compile gaudy OOC records. Some teams will now use this time to find the rotation ---- much like Duquesne did last year. It's not the same anymore, just like it was different for Ford dealing with the portal and NIL.

Dayton's lineup right now is Malachi Smith returning from injury, Javon Bennett, Enoch Cheeks, Posh Alexander, Nate Santos, Isaac Jack, and Zed Key. The first four are point guards and only Cheeks goes over six feet. Long way to go in the Gem City. Holmes does nothing for me. He has little game outside five feet so it's always dunks and putbacks. Sure, he took and made more three pointers this year but he had to do that to offer proof to the NBA he had more. He does not. Obi Toppin had a better exterior game and he's been a mediocre first rounder since drafted. DaRon is going to trade the Step van Bussels and Rocus Jocuis' of the A10 for Karl Anthony Townes, the Joker, Rudy Gobert, and Anthony Davis. Sorry --- I don't think so. Holmes has been the best of the A10 for two or three years but that isn't saying much given the dearth of comparable big men in the conference.

Saw Trice had passed in the latest "Universitas." Was a little stunned.

All updated with heights, positions and stats as of 5/04/24.

Max Shulga from VCU to Villanova.

Sounds like a very intelligent kid.
