Heide just about hitting his head on the rim, and Colvin actually jumped early but then seemed to levitate for the swat......crazy good stuff to watch.

Exactly. Jacobsen may very well start next season but he’ll likely have to be damn good to move one of the current starters to a 6th man role.
IMO MP wanting to play a big this season had as much to do with trying to protect TKR (foul trouble, exerting energy guarding the post), as anything. With DJ out it became obvious that in most cases the trade off wasn’t worth it.
We’ve seen Trey get in minor foul trouble a few time and it’s less than ideal. It will be interesting to see how Paint handles against teams with significant size. We’ll get a glimpse against Maryland.
Growing to 7'3" in 19 years means your bones have grown WAY more than most people in a given time span, so yes, more likely to break I think.
I'll always wonder if the break was point of stresses and weakened or just a fluke.
Forced rest NOW probably isn't a bad thing for his future health.

For sure. But it also changes the team greatly, going from small to very big. Can you imagine Trey in another season of progression going against 4's?? With him posting against 4's and DJ pulling the center out of the paint and 3 drop dead shooters around them?? Give me, give me that possibly dominating team size and makeup. either Cam or Myles would be fire off the bench. or pretty ok with Daniel being the X factor off the bench as needed.
Blowing my own mind: Is it REALLY possible that TEN GAMES after Zach is 2 time POY and we are in the national title game, that we are looking at potentially the best Boiler team of my lifetime NEXT season????????????
I think he’s at more of an advantage vs 5s. Quicker and great footwork. Teams are going to start throwing everything at him, double teams, taller players, shorter players, different looks and he’s ready for it. He’s been going vs the NPOTYx2 for 3 years and was busting his ass in practice every day (according to smith, Loyer and paint). You could see how good Trey could be during the scrimmage last year, bur he just wasn’t the focal point of the offense.
Really glad everyone gets to see how great he is and can be. If he could hit his FTs at a higher %, he’d average even more points. Hope that improves and hope he keeps rebounding. Him and Braden are unstoppable in the PnR and TKR is so far, our second best playmaker.
"white men Cam Jump".....see what I did there? New nickname?Heide just about hitting his head on the rim, and Colvin actually jumped early but then seemed to levitate for the swat......crazy good stuff to watch.
Completely agree. DJ has a lot of work to do in rehab and on his body in general but if he can rebound and block shots at an elite level he significantly raises the ceiling of next year's team, whether starting or coming off the bench.
DJ being a shot blocker defensive threat cloggs up the lane in itself is needed and the rest let's say 10 pts and 10 extra Rebounds changes us dramatically given everyone else doing there thing , I vote we play 6 players next year ...vs everyone else's 5. 🤣

Has anybody heard an update from CMP? We are probably at least 2 months away still, but I think it's feasible to believe that he could return this year.
If he could get his vertical jump to 39 inches like Heide that would be good wouldn't it... just saying.
I'm not saying that's not possible but it would be a big ask for a kid who needed physical development and experience to jump right in in the middle of the Big Ten season. If he can do it, awesome, but I'm assuming he's out for the year and will focus on getting bigger and stronger for next season.
