Kriisa addresses a possible return next year
- Thread starter Smashcat

I dont want him back. Sorry, not sorry.
Get a starter in the portal and then Lewis and JJ and Perry can sort out backup minutes.

I think I figured out why this guy rubs me the wrong way. He reminds me of Brad.
Given the prevalence of injuries we need 2 starting level guards in portal
Not gonna be a high level starting level guard that is ok being a backup with vicious competition.
He wants to go — GO .. not exactly hard to replace , just me but I like players that leave the mouthing behind
lol, it’s like they just pulled him outta bed at 3 am, put him in the corner and started an interrogation. He’s holding up well…” i know nothing, I know nothing!” I think one more minute of questioning and they would have broke him into saying “alright guys, you got me, I’m gone next year!”.
This is actually good news. I don't see him wanting to compete with Lewis for the backup point guard position, and that's exactly what he would be doing if he came back.
Pope is going to get an elite lead guard from the portal, and Kerr knows it.

The Garrison stuff might be a blessing in disguise when it's all said and done.
I can’t imagine what his beef would be. He’s playing about 5-8 more mins a game than he deserves/should be. He’s not the focal point of a good team.
He’s running into the end of his college life cycle is what I took from that. Maybe he can redshirt and transfer and do something but his numbers and results weren’t that compelling to me. Entertaining as all hell and I'll always respect him getting back on d with an injury but he was a fit for this season, not next, I’d think.
I kinda hope he comes back. I know he's not a great guard but if he can stay healthy, he would be nice to have as a role player. He may even be able to help the younger guys adjust.
I admit, I like his grit too. He's a competitor whether he is in the game or not.

That’s what most said on Thiero too.
I know different situations but don’t discredit what a year can do.
I like his competitive personality but I think this is more that he doesn't know if there will be a spot for him on next year's team. He doesn't have to start but will definitely want to be somewhere he can get some play time during his last year.
I’m not sure I buy that. If healthy, Adou should’ve been the stretch 4 last season playing 30 mins/game. The metrics spelled that out.
I’ve never really understood the cynicism about Kriisa. It’s like everyone forgets or dismisses that he started at point as a sophomore for the overall 1 seed.
Most Guys aren't gonna show their cards until there's an offer on the table. It's a different sport kids.
I think this was a one year deal. He was what this team needed this year. But, we will have better options in the portal.
I also think Pope knows whether he could have played this year and been effective. If, as I suspect, he could have been playing for the last month and chose not to to get another year, I don’t think Pope will bring him back. As he has shown, he is all about winning. If you are able to play and choose not to, he isn’t going to throw you under the bus, but he is going to keep that in mind for the next year.

Be nice to have his experience and energy but hopefully he's recruited over. Maybe that's the case or he's chasing a bag. If he doesn't return it sure appears odd.
If I’m Kriisa I’d look for one more college paycheck. I’m sure he can probably play somewhere overseas when he’s done but probably needs that last year to put up some stats.
Yeah that's not what you say if you want to come back.
I don’t think Kerr will return next season but I do expect Lewis to be the starting pg next season.
Yea, of course. As a junior.. and it’s easy to say in hindsight as a “stretch” 4
Did they win it all? Make the title game or final four? Elite 8? I'll hang up and listen.
No. I don’t believe so. Believe it or not, upsets happen in the tournament and often teams lose before they should. He was good enough to start for the best team in the country. As a sophomore.
