head to Fando.com to get started.
My name is Nick Engset.
And joining me as always, my co-host, Detournament Titan, the one more thinking what you got for
me, Isaac Harris.
That's a fun game, kind of.
Fun moments.
Fun moments.
Yeah.
Some moments.
No, it's, it's fun.
I mean, it's first, first, what day of the sweet 16 and some years we care, as NBA fans,
as mad as fans.
And this is one of those years because you could have been watching the cornerstone piece
next to Cooper Flag, play basketball tonight.
Oh, there's very good odds.
You were watching a player that will be on the Mavericks next year between, between Keaton
Woggler, who we will talk about a lot, because I think that he could potentially be exactly
what the maps need.
Braden Burries for Arizona is kind of like a sneaky.
He could be an insanely good role player, like maybe better than that at the next level.
Player for Arizona.
So we'll talk about him.
Darius Acuff, I think did a good job of like showing everything that he could do and
elevating that Arkansas team that had probably no business being where they were.
But let's start here with Kingston Flemmings, because the Houston Cougars and Kingston Flemmings
lose to Illinois, they just got completely overmatched at times.
There was a 17 0 run in the middle of that game.
Illinois has this crazy offense.
They've been scoring 100 points in a lot of these games and they, you know, the water got
turned off on them.
They only scored 24 in the first half, but 41 in the second and Houston just could not
get anything going on offense.
Kingston Flemmings, the six five guard from Houston that a lot of people have had fifth.
You know, there's those top three guys, Caleb Wilson, and then it's been like Kingston Flemmings
because that next guy and Flemmings 11 points, six rebounds, four assists, didn't have
any turnovers.
Hit one of three threes, four of 10 from the field.
So you only hit, you know, what three twos, two of two from the free throw line, I think
it just left a lot to be desired from Kingston Flemmings game in this one.
And throughout this tournament, he's done some things, but it's been more of like a team
effort from Houston, I think, then individual Kingston Flemmings, you know, showing everything
that these scouts have been talking about about him.
Yeah, I know for the longest time, you know, Flemmings was, has been penciled into that
five spot for people.
I feel like we went through a stretch there of mock drafts to where it was, hey, we got
to top three and then it was Wilson and Flemmings together at four and five and then the rest
of, you know, the guards and stuff.
It just goes to show you just got to wait it out some, I mean, things will change.
Braden Burries is rising up, you know, these boards now, depending on who you talk to,
makeup is rising up even further.
So for me, it's like watching some of the Flemmings stuff.
It was, you know, it's a little worrisome because if you're drafting that high and you're
going to draft a guard like that, then you want this guard, like you watch Flemmings, you
know, tonight against this Illinois team and Illinois is not a, you know, defense is not
their calling cards, their offense, you know, they were one of the best offenses in the
country this year.
But Flemmings, in this type of game, like you want to see him, like try to take over,
like if he's going to be a top five, top six, top ten pick, like you got to see, you
want to see more, you know, him getting, getting to the basket, him trying to initiate more
offense.
They're playing more through, you know, through sharp than Flemmings, which sharps the
better shooter and everything, like that, that's, that's fine.
It's just, I was wanting, I was just finding myself wanting more of Flemmings and I think
that's the thing at the next level is he's just going to be a fast pace, like push the
tempo, get out and transition, quick first step, that type of guard, or is he going to
be a dynamic scoring type of guard that's going to, that can be like your second, your
second, like leading score type of guy.
And right now I'm not confident in that.
And I still have some question marks about Flemmings shot, not just, hey, the percentages
and all this stuff, some of the form and stuff too, I'm not as confident that his shooting
is going to be awesome at the next level.
Yeah, like we know he's an athlete, we know he's supposed to be a really good defender.
He's been a good, like floor general forum, but the shot has been a, a question, a shot
39% from three, only taking, you know, under three a game.
And in the, in the tournament, you know, conference plan, all that, he has not taken very many.
And I think that's something that I had a, had a big question about is, can the Mavericks
take somebody that is maybe only going to take two or three, three is a game playing
next to Cooper flag was going to take maybe two or three, four, three is a game or something
like that.
And can, is that, is that doable and viable in today's NBA?
I feel like slightly and I in our post game shows are all every single one is now like,
all right, how many three's the maps take, how many three is a Cooper flag take?
That's not enough.
You know, it's like every single night, it feels like we're doing that same thing with
him.
There's so much to like about his game though, but in a game like this, you do want it
to see him take over, especially if you're going to take him with such a high pick where
you want him to be a game changer where he can lead, lead your team, you know, lead
the team when maybe Cooper's out for a night, like you want him to be able to take over.
And you just didn't see that in this one.
I don't know if it's this Houston team feels like they have like such an identity defensively.
It kind of does feel like he got kind of lost in some of that.
And I wonder how much that played a factor into all right, we're Houston.
We played this way.
You know, we're spreading the ball around, we're slowing it down and that's maybe not
his game.
Well, I mean, you go back to the beginning of this year, you know, flimmings wasn't projected
to be this high in drafts and stuff.
He was coming in as a freshman to this Houston team that had sharp and usan.
And it's like these, you know, that's doing air quotes here.
That's in college basketball back court, but then he's like, so good.
And he's like, well, crap, we got to play him like.
And you know, so you know, Samson has to has to play him and stuff and becomes, you know,
their best pro and a prospect on the team.
And then you got, you know, Sennak, I love Sennak.
I think Sennak's going to be a really good big at the next level.
So it's kind of like they've been good all year.
I mean, they were my pick to be in the finals against Arizona because I love their, I love
their defense.
I was expecting flimmings to kind of like take the, like step into the deer and fox roll.
And because I think that's the type of player he can be at the next level, but fox can
take over games.
I mean, we're talking, you know, past clutch award winner, deer and fox in the NBA and
the national basketballs, but that's the fox was a really good off into player coming
out of college into, you know, the NBA and stuff and he's got some work to do on the
offensive side of the ball, I think, yeah, to be a deer and fox in the league.
Real quick, did they say the word, they say the name Joe Tuggler more than any other name
on the broadcast today because it's a fun name.
He played the least about a minute that any of their Houston starters, and I feel like
I heard Joe Tuggler's name, like it's on this game, he looked at four shots.
What if your last name was Tuggler, I mean, I maybe I would have so many puns, I did
what to her, um, I'd have so many puns off of my name, but actually did this, did what
changed your opinion on flimmings the most, the tournament, just the overall or where would
you have him right now?
Like let's, let's just throw, who would you take ahead of him in this, in this range?
Let's, it comes down to a lot, like I still liking, I think he's going to be a good player.
Yeah, I just don't, I just don't have him at like five or six there.
Um, we'll talk about Wagler in a second, Wagler's been at five for me for a while, and
he's still at five for me, um, after, you know, those top four guys, um, yeah, I mean,
it's interesting.
I, you know, it feels like you can't really rank Michael Brown right now because you got
to figure out what's, if the back stuff, how legit that is, is it lingering, is it long
term, um, but like if we just throw Michael to the side for a second, you know, it's
what flimmings, first a cuff, first, brain, buries, uh, five long, cause I, yeah, five long,
um, yeah, I mean, I, I would take a cuff over him still.
I would, uh, brain buries, I got to do more work on, but, um, he's good.
He'll, he'll go in that seven to nine range somewhere through there and he could be a
maverick and be a really good maverick.
Um, so I, I think some of the frame stuff to some of the conversations that people have
around a cuff of all his frame or, you know, some of the, you know, skinnier type of guards,
um, he doesn't have the, the, you know, thickish, uh, frame out there either.
So he'll be good, but I don't have him at like five or six for me.
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see that throughout this whole process, the combine, I think
will be interesting.
And then we've got more people to see.
We've got more of Keaton Vogler.
We got more of buries to, to see, but Darius A cuff is done in the tournament.
I think he did a lot to improve his draft stock and improve his stock just across the
legal talk about that and what that means for the maps.
Come on.
Today's episode of lifetime maps brought to you by prize picks, prize picks, daily fantasy
made easy go check out prize picks and the playoff, which is heating up tournament hoops
are here.
There's no better way to get in the action than prize picks where it's always feels
good to be right every bucket, every dime, every big moment means more when you're playing
on prize picks.
I went to prize picks and I just picked real quick.
Uh, I'm going Cam Booser on Duke more on 22 points, but I'm going less on rebounds
that it says.
I think this is the game where you finally start to get in that scoring going.
Uh, and so that'll be an interesting one.
And then also have Yaxle, Linda Berg, you have to pick from two different teams.
So I picked our guy Yaxle more on 16 and a half points, feeling good about his chances
there, put down 20 bucks, uh, as an entry fee, I can win 120 on the power play because
you get six times.
There's all kinds of different things you can do pick more or less on two to six player
stat projections.
And it's as easy as what I just said, download the prize picks app today, use the code
locked on MDA.
You get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup, what am I put 50 all 50 on
this?
I would win 300 bucks on that.
So go check it out, use the code locked on MBA, get $50 lineups after you play your
first $5 lineup prize picks, it's good to be right.

All right, Isaac, Darius A.Cuff, his tournament run and, you know, SEC tournament run and this
whole run comes to an end for Darius A.Cuff.
And I thought he did so much to improve his stock and to prove what people thought of
him and just the way that people were talking about.
Some people were talking about taking him number one, number two, people were talking
about, it's like throwing all kinds of numbers out about him.
But he finishes this game against Arizona, 28 points, three assists, eight of 19 from
the field, only at one of five threes, but 11 of 14 from the free throw line.
This is like the opposite of what Kingston Fleming's did, right?
Like, hey, he went out there and he's like, I'm going to put it all on the line.
I'm taking 19 shots.
Nobody else in the game took more than 11.
So he's like, I'm going to go out there and I, and he also had 14 free throws.
So you know, he's going out there and given it all he's got, even though he's, you know,
being defended and he's obviously the, like the defense is number one target and they know
exactly what they're, what you're going to get from him.
But I think he showed so much in this, this last like month, basically.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I'll defend a cuff so much, even though, you know, it's not like I have him in
my top five.
You, you can defend him.
But if he defends you, I think you score on him.
That's a, uh, yeah, I have fun with the online stuff because, you know, you can't, you
say, man, as a great move by a cuff and you'll get swarmed by a swarm of bees of, yeah,
he defends.
Did you see him?
He didn't know where to go.
It's like, I just enjoy him have fun with him.
Um, then I, yeah, I mean, he's the SEC run that they went on, you know, the first, you
know, two rounds of NCAA tournament.
Um, he signed a signature shoe deal with Reebok in college, like, I mean, come on.
You don't see that at all.
That's like all the way to the signature shoe, like, signing a shoe deal is one thing.
But you've always talked about how the signature shoe is like this next level of, all right,
only certain players get that.
Yeah.
I mean, obviously it's not like Nike or Dita's or something, but it's like still like,
you don't get that like, that's, and I think it's a really smart move by Reebok because
his popularity just went up and up and up.
And he is going to like continue to just be so popular.
I think, especially with like kids in the next generation too, um, because he's such a fun
player to watch and, you know, it's not just the playmaking and the vision and the connecting
with the teammates.
You know, you look at some of his like shooting splits and stuff too.
Like, this dude is a knockdown shooter.
Like, I get when you think about playing off ball, you're playing off of someone, like
let's just say he comes to Dallas, obviously Cooper's still going to have the ball in his
hands at different times, creating and stuff.
The thing you have to have around Cooper is you got to have shooters.
So if you, like, want to compare a cup and flimmings, if you have a cup on the wing or
in the corner, compared to like flimmings, a cup shot this year, shot 40% on pull up three
pointers and over 50% from catching shooters like that is just and he was, you know, orchestrating
most of the offense too.
So he's a knockdown shooter just on the offensive side of the ball.
It's just really hard to find any type of, I guess if you want to say, you know, there's
some finishing around the rim type of stuff, but I still like, we'll trust that at the
next level.
Yeah, he's just a really fun player.
I think he helped himself a lot.
I think there's going to be some teams right there in that top, you know, five or six or
seven, depending on where the lottery lands, that if they don't have a locked in creator,
playmaker, point guard, or even if they're like lacking like a star, I think it's going
to be really, really tempting for some of these teams because he's going to, he would instantly
come in and be like, yeah.
The star of like, you know, moving forward for a team and yeah, I get the Wizards trade
for AD and like trade young and stuff, but it's like he would instantly be the best prospect
on the Wizards like as far as like the like for their like young core and be like the face
of their like young core and selling Wizards jerseys and all the stuff like, he'd be like
the most high profile.
Like SARS, maybe a better prospect overall, but like a couple of come in and just like
his profile and the excitement that he would bring and all that stuff.
Like that would be, I mean, him on Memphis, him on Sacramento, him on Brooklyn, like
they just would be, yeah, I didn't say those two, yeah, that, yeah, it would instantly
become like the highest rated Jersey on Brooklyn or Sacramento.
Oh my gosh.
And that's a cuff jersey would be actually pretty sick.
I would feed the thing about these four guards.
We talked about a ton.
The Mike Elbrown, Keaton Wogler, Derrius, a cuff, Kingston Fleming.
They all shot like over 37, 38% from three.
It's just, they're so different, like not all 38, 40% shooting is the same.
You know, like the Kingston Fleming's and the Derrius, it got for just different.
The Wogler and the, you know, like that's just, it's different.
And a cuff, that's the thing that a lot of a lot of these guards that are in this same
kind of vein, the drive to the rim orchestrate everything are not knocked down, catch and shoot
shooters like this, right?
Yeah.
And that is, that, that's the thing that I think makes him unique and makes him such
an insane prospect because, uh, and I said, I saw some, but so I, I, I tweeted a brain
buries highlight and was like, oh my gosh, I think this is the worst case scenario for
the Mavericks.
They end up with this guy.
Oh my God.
That would be like, how bad would that be?
Like sarcasm?
Yeah.
Um, and then I was like, okay, if that, that's the worst case scenario.
The maps are getting one of these, they're getting one of these awesome guys and somebody
responded, well, it could end up like 2017, that, that's how their lottery pick could
end up like that.
And I was like, this is not that draft.
This is not what we're looking at.
We're parsing between Dennis with junior and Frank Milakina, you know, this is not that
draft.
This draft is insane talent.
We're all these guys could end up being, I mean, would you be surprised like all four of
these guards made an all-star team at some point?
No, no, I mean, once they get fit, matter so much with some of these guys, they come
in and, um, yeah, it's just, they get buried and it's just like, it's weird situations
for them.
But if there's some like good fits that right there in that range that, yeah, these guards
can go to and they're, it's not in Milakina and Dennis, but junior, it's not, right.
Right.
But, but I also want to say like, it's not like, there's a reason why they're not in
the top three or four either.
Like that.
Yeah.
No, because the, no, I was going to, I was going to say, what was Milakina's first
name?
I mean, did you forget it?
Oh, I did.
Yeah, I mean, but it does say a lot about those top three, four guys that they are just
next level separated themselves from all these, all these guards that we're talking about
in this range that are already insanely good.
In the third segment or now, whenever, you got to team me up for Wogler because I like
Wogler a lot.
I know.
I've liked what I've seen too in this.
And let's talk about, let's talk about buries real quick because I think we'll talk longer
about Wogler.
Uh, buries is so interesting to me.
So he's the six four guard from Arizona.
He's more of like a combo guard.
He was defending a cuff on like a ton of these possessions like that was his assignment.
He has shown like real NBA moves like he can, he can shoot, he can get his own shot here
and there.
He can pass out of the picking roll.
He can do a lot of things.
He's been compared to like Derek White players like that that just do a bunch of different
things.
And I was joking that that's the worst case scenario for the Mavericks.
But honestly, like that, that's a good addition to add to the Mavericks if they wanted to add
somebody like that.
I mean, that's the worst case scenario.
Like that's it.
If they slide to nine or 10 in the lottery and we're like on draft night, we're just,
you know, all upset and head over heels like buries.
I don't know.
It seems like he might not be a bad choice there and he may not even be the pick.
It could be phylon or somebody else.
I mean, some of our no ceilings guys, I mean, they got him, they got buries top seven.
I know.
I mean, I think he's going to, I mean, he helped himself again today against Arkansas.
I think Arizona wins it all.
They still look like the best team.
So he's probably going to have a few more moments here again to just, you know, perform at
the highest level on some of these bigger stages.
I like him a lot.
I got to do more work on him to have like a, he's the one I've done the least amount
of work out of all of these guards.
And I get it.
I see you guys comments or DMs to me anytime I drop a, I dropped the phylon thing the other
day.
And it's like, when are you doing buries?
When are you doing?
I was like, how do we do a Yaxxel thing before we did a buries and, but my, my thing initially
with him and it's because I originally said that I think he'll be a point guard at the
next level.
It's funny because Chuck, you know, Chuck Cooperstein wrote, he was like, no, he's a two-guard.
He plays alongside Bradley and it's like, well, I just don't, I, so like at the next
level, what will he be?
Is, will he be stuck in that combo guard thing to where, hey, can he, does he have enough
playmaking and speed and all the stuff to play the point guard spot?
And if not, is he, is he one of these undersized two guards that everybody's like scared of
right now?
And I want to be very clear, I, I got to do more work on him.
That's just one of my, well, was one of my initial things that I want to do more work
kind of, like, know that, well, at 23 points, hit two, three, seven of eight from the free
throw line, five rebounds to assist, did have four turnovers, but man, he, yeah, he was
guard make-up for a lot of the skin.
He's already got that, like, that vet move as like a guard because he's got like a frame.
Yeah.
You know, he can create the space there, getting into the pain, uses a shoulder a lot.
He's, he's a really good player and I'm fascinated to see how high he goes up, you know, coming
in the next mock straps.
We'll see how high he goes up, but I think Keaton Wagner could go really high.
I, I think he could be exactly what Cooper flag needs.
I'm going to tell you what that means.

Let's go home.
All right, I think we're talking about the NCAA tournament, sweet 16.
We've been watching these games and what, real quick, what is nine o'clock central?
Like what, why?
The maps played at nine o'clock central yesterday.
Now these two games, both of them tipped off at nine o'five.
I was sitting there watching both these games at the same time trying to keep track of
what are we doing?
I don't understand this.
Yeah, I'm still in my office at work.
That's why my background looks different and I was like, I guess I'm just going to finish
some projects at work and watch these games in my office and I'm running on fume.
So I'm sorry, if I'm not at my eight game right now, guys, it's been a long day.
Jesus Christ is sitting in the corner and just watching.
Keaton Woggler.
Sorry, JC.
Illinois, you know, the win against Houston, their offense doesn't show up as big as we had
seen them in the past.
And let's go to 65 points where they still get the win and pretty good, pretty convincing
win, especially in that second half.
But Woggler finishes with 13 points, 12 boards, three assists, two blocks of steel, only
one turnover hit three of six threes.
He was what, one of eight from from two, not great, but he is just such an interesting
prospect.
Six six.
He talked about he doesn't have a lot of strength or the, you know, the size yet.
But, but man, he can, he can drive.
They were doubling him a ton in this game.
Like they were really trying to force the ball out of his hands.
He can, he can, you know, move the ball.
Then I love what he, like his passing, his shooting and the size, like those three things.
Yeah.
If you add that to the Mavericks, then all of a sudden the Mavericks become something,
like the Mavericks become something like they become something unguardable in a way.
As I imagine, it's Woggler, it's Christy, it's flagged and then it's a center and then
it's, you know, maybe PJ, like the size of that team would have and the playmaking and
the passing.
I just think he would be exactly what the Mavericks need because right now we're watching
his maps offense with this, just, it's mind breaking sometimes just watching how bad
this offense is, but adding Woggler to it would just kick it up all the way to 11.
Yeah, I like him a lot.
The more work I do on him, the more, more like him and I don't plan on moving him off
of five because of some of the stuff that you're saying.
When you look at characteristics or attributes of these, of all those guards and you like
put them across the board from like playmaking all of a sudden and you like power rank them
and you're like, all right, which one of these do I think?
If you put them in an order of like, I'm going to power rank the most important to me.
Woggler's like main ones are near the top and when you look at positional size, when
you look at shooting, when you look at playmaking and the whole, you know, people try to summon
up a lot right now.
I'm like, hey, can he dribble past shoot?
It's like this team has, you know, five guys out there and dribble past shoot and it sounds
so simple, but that's not always the case.
For Woggler, he doesn't, he is so poised for a freshman.
He just doesn't make mistakes.
He is a connector in the offense.
His size, I mean, they were running a two, three zone at one point in this game against
Houston tonight and he was on the bottom.
Like he wasn't at one of the top two spots and it's like, he's their point guard and just,
it's the lineup versatility that you have with him too.
And when you look at a team like Dallas, like, and I love us fit in Dallas because if
you're a team like Brooklyn, I would hate for Woggler to go to Brooklyn.
I don't want him to go to Brooklyn because because I think him coming to Dallas, you
already have Cooper.
And then he is like, I think a great supplementary piece to a Cooper flag because you get the
size, you get the shooting, I mean, he's a light out shooter.
And he can also play with Kyrie.
So it's like, imagine taking the Maxie spot or the Max Christie spot and turning and flipping
that into like, you get the same shooting as Max, but then you're flipping into it like
a creator, playmaker, ball handler alongside Kyrie.
This is the thing we talked about so much before of like when they went from one ball handler
to creator to two of them.
If you can have two of those guys and Kyrie and Woggler on the floor and Cooper flag,
now you're having multiple of these guys that can dribble past shoot, that can create,
that you can run the offense through at times.
One of them is off the floor.
You can always have two of the three on the floor at all times.
That's the versatility.
And I think in today's game that, man, it's what he brings to the table.
I get it.
You can watch it right now, I test wise and you're like, dude, he's so weak.
He doesn't like, he's not like, he gets bullied around sometimes and he's not high flying
and flying and playing above the rim.
I get it.
I get it.
It's not the sexiest type of thing that you're watching saying, dude, that's crazy.
I just believe and I trust that some of those weaknesses are easier to fix when at the
next level than the things that he's really, really good at.
Yeah.
He does feel like you're picking, you're picking style when you're picking all these guys
because I don't know if there's a wrong answer between the four of them.
If they're going to be in this range, if obviously they're in the top three, four, it's
a different conversation.
We've, we've talked about those guys, boozer, Peterson, DeBonza Wilson, but in this range,
the five to eight range, you're talking about, okay, if you pick a walk, like I just said,
you can be versatile, switching, passing, offense, shooting, like you get, you get all that.
If you pick Flemmings, you're a lockdown defensive team with flag in him.
And then you're probably like doubling down on transition because he's super, he's super
quick and explosive and you're like getting stops and getting out.
It's like you're doubling down on what you're already good at, which you know, could be,
could be good, could be bad.
A cuff, you're like, all right, we fixed the half court thing, you know, like all of a sudden,
like you could, you know, a much better half court offense, if he's, if he's in command
of it, like there's just so many different things with, with each of these guys, but yeah,
I like what I've, I've seen from Keaton Wahgler, do you give him extra credit for playing
with all these guys from, from overseas, like his whole team is from the Balkans, it feels
like, I mean, some people like hold it against him, we're like, oh, he's only this efficient
because he's playing with all these guys who know exactly how to play in their pros
and, um, oh no, that's like, all right, cool.
He can run an NBA style offense.
Yeah.
Oh, he fits, he fits with a bunch of different types of players.
Oh, no, like we're going to hold that against him.
Yeah, and it's like Boswell is nowhere near the type of player that Kyrie Irving is, but
it's like you see what, like that kind of looks like of him playing with Boswell, this,
you know, senior guard, and that is, you know, a smaller guard, but that's the, yeah, I
mean, you think about like what a like a Tyree's Halliburton brings.
Halliburton is a little bit more faster and, uh, more athletic, uh, in, in college, but
like that style of like good shooter, tall, uh, you know, just, you know, playmate, set
other people up type of thing.
That's the, that's the front, that's the like path for a walkler.
And in, like what you're saying, you know, you look at these styles, you get like an
a cuff flimmings, you're looking at, hey, this is, you know, Kyrie's, you know, eventual
replacement at this, you know, at this state, because they're, they need to be the one,
right?
You look, you get like a walkler or a Braden Burries, like it's not as much as like, they
can play off of, you know, Kyrie, but they can also be the long term replacement Kyrie
II, but you can play them together at the same time in the short term.
So it's just, all those guys are good, like that, that's been my, I've tried to reiterate
this over and over again.
I don't have a guy through there that I'm like, and it's not, I don't, I don't, I
don't want to say it's a cop out.
I don't have a guy through there that just don't like, or I don't want to, I mean,
Quaintance, but I don't think he's in that range.
I think all of these guys are good in their own way.
And I think LeBaron Vylon should be in that, you know, top 12 discussion too.
I like him a lot too.
Hmm.
Lots of good stuff.
We'll, we'll break down all these guards all throughout.
We're one more thing.
The matchup that I'm hoping that we get on Friday night is, I'm hoping we get Yaxel
and Linda, Linda Borg against or defending LeBaron Vylon, Linda Borg, you know,
defended Keaton Wagler early in the season.
Wagler's bigger and less explosive.
I get it.
I wonder and I, I'm hoping Dusty May and Michigan puts Linda Borg on Vylon and we get
that matchup because if Linda Borg can like hold his ground against an explosive 6364
guard like Vylon and like really kind of just like manhandling, that's a huge thing
for Linda Borg.
Like, that's, like, it's crazy.
If Vylon can go against that and dominate the level he is, then I think that elevates
where Vylon goes on the top 10, too.
So like, I want to see that.
A lot of people have them like 10, 11 or 11, 12, like both of those guys, those guys,
the same range.
And they're so opposite players, right?
I mean, Linda Borg's like, she's not in four and all the stuff, but in three or five
and Boos are placed from all two.
So it's so many guys to still watch.
We'll cover all of them here.
We'll be talking about them.
