This one raises an interesting question. Hobbs’ coaching/recruiting seemingly contributed much more to the program than his playing. Should he get a bonus for that? I think it’s the same reason Ollie is handily winnig his matchup. I tend to think that it deserves consideration.
Sure, go nuts.
While I would have no problem offering bonus points for guys who contribute to the program in other ways, the chasm in on-court production between Hobbs and Westis more than enough to make up the difference. Bialolosuknia is one of the best scorers in the program’s history, and he looks sweet as shit in those Chuck Taylor’s.
Be honest, it’s really about the Chucks.
Oh I voted for Wes. Jussayin’
