I'm pretty sure he won't be the last.

Too bad he never worked out. He looked a step slow for this level. Juco's like LJ don't grow on trees.

LJ was a black hole who led us to a 5 W season. Bad comp.

Or two + .500 seasons. Rarity at sju. Depending on how you look at it.

Looks really good for Oregon.

Hopefully we upgrade. Think he could have been serviceable as guard off the bench but there was a reason he looked great against the Riders of the world. He belongs at that level.

LJ shot 51.3% from the field and 38.3% from three his first year. He was pretty bad last year...shooting just 37.9% from the field.

James Scott, Dwight Hardy, Justin Brownlee some jucos need a year to get used to the BE. I don't think losing Moore or Cole will finish us, but it

LJ was really good his first year here.

He then played  his 2nd year with low level pg play and no shooters in a brand new system. He played his tail off.

He isn't a #1 option on an offense, but I'll take his heart and grit on any team I root for.

Yeah, ok. That's fine. Only part of this silly debate that I don't get is why we are still comparing LJ to Cole? It was LJ's team last year, and it was Julian's team this year.

I’ll point a finger at myself here. After the first few games I thought Cole was going to be similar to LJ. He seemed to have a wider array of moves and tools to create his shot. A little disappointed to see him gone, but probably in his best interests.

This is Posh's team imo. It wasn't until Posh imposed his will that this season turned around. Julian played well early on but his defense was pedestrian and we were losing.

I would argue that it's both their team. Wouldn't have had the enjoyable season without either of them.
