BJ Omot, the rising star standing at an impressive 6'8", is making a significant transition from playing at North Dakota in the Summit League to joining the California Golden Bears in the ACC for the 2024-25 season. Despite being only halfway through his college career, Omot has shown promising development. With an average of 16.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game in the 2023-24 season, his capabilities on the court are undeniable. His adeptness at jump shots and his notable presence on the perimeter, especially for someone of his stature, highlight his potential. 

Under the guidance of Coach Mark Madsen at California, further growth is anticipated. While North Dakota's odds for a national championship remain unavailable, California's prospects are marked at +30000, suggesting a brighter future with Omot on their roster.

Transitioning from Texas in the SEC to Memphis in the AAC, Tyrese Hunter has made a significant decision for his athletic future, aligning his talents with the Memphis Tigers. The shift in National Championship Odds from Texas at +4000 to Memphis at +6500 underscores the new challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

In the wake of Texas's exit from the NCAA Tournament, Hunter's reflections on choosing the path that aligns best with his personal and professional growth hinted at this move.

77 - TJ Bamba

Former Team: Villanova (Big East) | New Team: Oregon (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Villanova +6500 | Oregon +10000

Coming off of a season that didn't quite meet expectations at Villanova, a team which harbored dreams of making a deep run in the tournament thanks to key transfers, one notable player making waves was TJ Bamba. This former Washington State standout, known for his formidable presence as a guard who embraces physical play and isn't hesitant to take and make critical shots from beyond the arc, found his way to Villanova, albeit in a role that didn't fully showcase his capabilities. Despite the mismatch, Bamba's performance remained solid, embodying the toughness and scoring ability many have come to expect from him.

Now, making another significant move in his collegiate career, Bamba has decided to join the Oregon Ducks for the 2024-25 season, a team in the Big Ten with high hopes and a compelling vision for the future. With Villanova's odds at winning the national championship standing at +6500, and Oregon's odds yet to be announced, it's an exciting new chapter for both Bamba and the Ducks.

78 - Sincere Parker

Former Team: Saint Louis (Atlantic 10) | New Team: McNeese State (Southland)

National Championship Odds: Saint Louis +25000 | McNeese State +30000

Sincere Parker, previously showcasing his talent at Saint Louis in the Atlantic 10, has made a significant move to the McNeese State Cowboys in the Southland Conference. His transition comes after an impressive start to the season in November, where he dazzled fans by averaging over 17 points per game and shooting nearly 50 percent from the field through the first four games. Unfortunately, a setback occurred when Parker sustained a broken bone in his right foot during a game against Wyoming at the Myrtle Beach Invitational, sidelining him for two months. Upon his return in January, it took some time for him to regain his form, but by the season's end, Parker was delivering performances reminiscent of his early-season excellence, including a remarkable run of three consecutive 30-point games. 

Looking ahead to the 2024-25 season with the Cowboys, expectations are high for Parker, whose stats last season included an average of 15.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game. The odds reflect the anticipation surrounding his impact, with Saint Louis positioned at +25000 and McNeese State at +30000 in the National Championship stakes. Parker's decision to commit to McNeese State has certainly stirred excitement, suggesting a bright future for both him and his new team in the competitive landscape of college basketball.

79 - Malik Dia

Former Team: Belmont (Missouri Valley) | New Team: Ole Miss (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Belmont NA | Ole Miss +10000

Within the Missouri Valley, the competition was fierce this year, overshadowing the exceptional talent of Malik Dia with the Belmont Bruins. Despite the Bruins' late-season surge in performance, they couldn't surpass the league's top contenders. However, Dia's prowess was undeniable, especially evident in his remarkable 32-point game against Drake in January. Standing at 6'9", Dia has demonstrated his outstanding ability, notably sinking five three-pointers in a high-level match. This versatility on the court makes him a formidable force. Now, having committed to the Ole Miss Rebels, his talent, backed by impressive stats of 16.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game for the 2023-24 season, positions Ole Miss as a strong contender for the 2024-25 season.

2023-24 Stats: 16.9 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 1.2 APG

80 - Duke Miles

Former Team: High Point (Big South) | New Team: Oklahoma (SEC)

National Championship Odds: High Point NA | Oklahoma +15000

It's a rarity in college basketball to witness a 6'2" guard who can shoot 53 percent from the floor, but that's precisely what Duke Miles achieved in his impressive season at High Point. Even more astonishing is his 60.1 percent efficiency on two-point shots. Miles excelled at the charity stripe, sinking over 80 percent of his free throws. This combination of shooting prowess has positioned him as one of the most efficient scorers in the nation, narrowly missing a spot in the top 100 of KenPom's offensive efficiency ratings.

With two years of eligibility left, Miles has a golden opportunity to adjust to the demands of high-major competition and thrive. Joining the Sooners, he's poised to leverage his scoring abilities and potentially emerge as an All-Conference backcourt standout. His transition to a more competitive level will be crucial, but his proven scoring efficiency bodes well for his ability to make a significant impact.

2023-24 Stats: 17.5 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 3.6 APG

81 - Chibuzo Agbo

Former Team: Boise State (Mountain West) | New Team: USC (Big Ten)

National Championship Odds: Boise State +15000 | USC +8000

Agbo began his career at Texas Tech, where he could not find a way into the team's rotation and averaged just 6.5 minutes per game across 45 appearances in two seasons with the Red Raiders. His decision to transfer to Boise State ahead of his junior year would pay in dividends, as he became a Mountain West Honorable Mention after averaging 13.7 points per game. In a First Four matchup against Colorado where the offense was mostly struggling, Agbo was the lone bright spot, scoring 17 of their 53 points in the defeat and putting on an impressive showing. He also possesses a beautiful jump shot that has been on full display in Boise as a 40 percent three-point shooter over the past two seasons. A true three-level scorer, Agbo could blossom at the right destination.

2023-24 Stats: 13.7 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 0.8 APG

Former Team: Pepperdine (WCC) | New Team: Loyola Marymount (WCC)

Transitioning from Pepperdine in the WCC to his new home with the Loyola Marymount Lions, Jevon Porter brings a solid record and promising prospects to his new team. While national championship odds for both Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount remain undisclosed, Porter's move is notable for the depth and skill he adds to the Lions' roster. Echoing the impact of Belmont's third key player, Porter emerges as a significant transfer from Pepperdine, marking him as a noteworthy addition to our analysis. Despite a season that fell short, Porter distinguished himself with consistent performance, becoming a pillar of reliability in their lineup. His streak of scoring in double digits across 14 consecutive games highlighted his capability and steadiness on the court. 

With an average of 16.2 points per game, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in the 2023-24 season, Porter stands out not just for his current contributions but also for his potential, given his two remaining years of eligibility—a rarity that adds value to his presence in the transfer portal. Porter's commitment to Loyola Marymount injects a fresh dynamism into the team, promising to leverage his proven track record and stats to bolster their performance in upcoming seasons.

DJ Davis, following a noteworthy season with the Butler Bulldogs in the Big East, where he boasted impressive stats of 13.5 PPG, 3.2 RPG, and 2.6 APG, while shooting 35% from three-point range and 42% from the field in 2023-24, has made a significant move by committing to the Washington Huskies of the Big Ten. This transition is set against the backdrop of contrasting national championship odds, with Butler at +20000 and Washington at +10000, hinting at a strategic move for both Davis and the Huskies, promising an exciting season ahead.

84 - Josh Cohen

Former Team: UMass (Atlantic 10) | New Team: USC (Pac-12)

National Championship Odds: UMass NA | USC +6000

Having made a significant impact in the NEC as a top scorer during his time with St. Francis in his junior year, Josh Cohen made the decision to elevate his game by transferring to UMass, where he further honed his skills, particularly in the paint. His efficiency in scoring and rebounding was complemented by a newfound proficiency in three-point shooting during the 2023-24 season, where he successfully made 11 out of 32 attempts from beyond the arc. This addition to his game could potentially make him a formidable offensive force for Eric Musselman's USC Trojans. 

Cohen's latest move to join the USC Trojans from UMass marks a significant step in his collegiate basketball career, especially with the Trojans currently sitting at +6000 to win the National Championship. His statistics from the previous season, including an average of 16.2 points per game, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.7 assists, highlight his versatile contributions on the court. Cohen's commitment to USC not only boosts their roster but also presents an exciting development in his pursuit of further basketball excellence.

Former Team: Kentucky (SEC) | New Team: TBD

National Championship Odds: Kentucky +3000

In the 2023-24 season, Thiero established himself as a fixture in Kentucky's starting lineup, a significant leap from the limited action he saw during his freshman year. Coach John Calipari recognized his perseverance and commitment by starting him in 19 of the 25 games he appeared in last season. However, with Calipari's recent move to Arkansas, Thiero was one of several players transferring to follow their coach to Fayetteville for the next campaign. His role is expected to be pivotal as Calipari shapes his strategy for the 2024-25 season at Arkansas.

87 - Tarris Reed

Former Team: Michigan (Big Ten) | New Team: UConn (Big East)

National Championship Odds: Michigan +5000 | UConn +1300

Transitioning from Michigan (Big Ten) to UConn (Big East), Tarris Reed is set to join the UConn Huskies for the 2024-25 season, signaling a fresh start after a tumultuous period. The odds reflect the potential impact of this move, with Michigan's chances at securing the national championship standing at +5000, while UConn's prospects are significantly brighter at +1300.

Reed's journey is notable, having been a standout amidst a challenging season at Michigan, a team grappling with upheaval, including the departure of Juwan Howard. This scenario has nudged Reed, a player once heralded within the top-40 of his high school class, to seek a new chapter. His decision aligns with the aspirations of a player of his caliber, especially after showcasing his potential through moments of brilliance such as a notable 20-point game against Illinois.

At UConn, under the guidance of Dan Hurley, Reed is anticipated to further harness his abilities. Hurley's track record with developing talent, particularly in the post, bodes well for Reed's growth. His statistics from the 2023-24 season, including an average of 9.0 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, are just the foundation of what promises to be an exciting evolution in his collegiate career.

2023-24 Stats: 9.0 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 0.6 APG

88 - J'Vonne Hadley

Former Team: Colorado (Pac-12) | New Team: Louisville (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Colorado +15000 | Louisville +10000

In the 2023-24 collegiate basketball season, J'Vonne Hadley emerged as an invaluable but often overlooked asset for the Colorado Buffaloes, nestled within the competitive Pac-12 conference. Despite the spotlight frequently shining on teammates  Tristan da Silva, KJ Simpson, Eddie Lampkin, and Cody Williams, Hadley's consistency and knack for making pivotal plays solidified his role as a dependable starter. His performance, hailed as the most efficient offensively by KenPom throughout the Pac-12 contests, showcased his prowess on the court.

Transitioning from his former team, Colorado, to the Louisville Cardinals in the ACC for the 2024-25 season, Hadley's move is anticipated with keen interest. The shift places him within a new framework, potentially increasing his responsibilities and exposure. With Louisville and Colorado's national championship odds standing at +10000 and +15000 respectively, the change heralds an intriguing phase in Hadley's athletic journey.

Boasting an impressive stat line of 11.6 points, 6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game in his last season with Colorado, Hadley's capability as a key player is undeniable. As he prepares to don the Louisville Cardinals jersey, the expectation is not just for him to replicate his sterling Pac-12 form but to elevate it further. Should he maintain or surpass his high shooting accuracy and overall contribution, Hadley is poised to be a pivotal figure in Louisville's quest for glory in the 2024-25 season.

2023-24 Stats: 11.6 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 2.4 APG

89 - Amari Williams

Former Team: Drexel (CAA) | New Team: Kentucky (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Drexel NA | Kentucky +4000

Transitioning from Drexel University, where he made a significant impact in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), Amari Williams is set to join Kentucky Wildcats in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) for the 2024-25 season. This move is anticipated to bolster the Wildcats' roster, as Kentucky currently holds odds of +4000 to secure the National Championship, highlighting their competitive potential.

Standing at an impressive 6'10" and weighing 277 lbs, Williams has established himself as a dominant force on the defensive end. His tenure at Drexel was marked by exceptional achievements, notably being honored as the CAA Defensive Player of the Year three times. This accolade was earned through his consistent performance, averaging two blocks per game over three seasons. Furthermore, Williams's ability to control the boards is reflected in his remarkable rebounding stats, averaging 7.8 rebounds per game in the 2023-24 season, alongside contributing 12.2 points and 1.9 assists per game. 

Williams's athletic prowess and defensive skills have not only made him a valuable asset for Kentucky but also suggest his potential to excel at a higher level of competition. His commitment to Kentucky is a testament to the Wildcats' ability to attract top talent, aiming to enhance their defensive capabilities and overall team performance in the upcoming season.

90 - Jalen Blackmon

Former Team: Stetson (Atlantic Sun) | New Team: Miami (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Stetson NA | Miami +6000

Jalen Blackmon  has made a significant leap to Miami from Stetson. Notably, his move comes as the Hurricanes hold odds of +6000 to win the National Championship, a stark contrast to Stetson being off the board. Blackmon, a standout guard known for his scoring prowess at Stetson, truly made waves with a standout 43-point performance in the Atlantic Sun Championship against Austin Peay.

His game is marked by an impressive scoring ability from anywhere on the court, thanks to his remarkable shooting touch, ability to remain calm under pressure when driving to the basket, and his polished mid-range game off the dribble. This versatility ensures he's a threat from all scoring levels. Blackmon's playing style is characterized by smoothness and confidence, traits that could very well place him in discussions for the NBA draft, particularly given Jim Larrañaga's track record with developing guards.

His stats from the 2023-24 season stand at an impressive 21.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game, underscoring his role as a key player for his team and now, his promising future with the Miami Hurricanes.

2023-24 Stats: 21.3 PPG, 2,9 RPG, 1.9 APG

91 - Dain Dainja

Former Team: Illinois (Big Ten) | New Team: Memphis (American)

National Championship Odds: Illinois +4000 | Memphis +6500 

Transitioning from Illinois (Big Ten) to Memphis (American), Dain Dainja's latest move is not just a change of scenery but a strategic pivot to a team where his skills are anticipated to shine brighter. In the upcoming 2024-25 season, Dainja is set to join the Tigers, a team currently positioned at +6500 odds to win the national championship, compared to Illinois' +4000. This shift represents not only a fresh opportunity for Dainja but also a new chapter for Memphis, aiming to bolster their defense and rebounding capabilities.

During the 2023-24 season, Dainja's performance at Illinois, characterized by an average of 6.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 0.2 assists per game, hinted at a promising talent in need of the right environment to flourish. His move to Memphis seems to be a calculated step towards maximizing his potential. With an uptempo offense and a preference for small-ball play at Illinois, Dainja often appeared to be mismatched, suggesting that a different system could better leverage his strengths.

Memphis eagerly anticipates Dainja's contribution, especially in terms of rebounding and blocking, areas where he has demonstrated significant prowess. With the departure of Nae'Qwan Tomlin, Dainja is expected to fill a critical role in the paint, providing the defensive anchor Memphis needs to compete at a higher level. This transition not only aligns with Dainja's personal growth trajectory but also underscores Memphis's strategic approach to team building and player development as they look forward to the 2024-25 season.

2023-24 Stats: 6.1 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 0.2 APG

92 - Connor Hickman

Former Team: Bradley (Missouri Valley) | New Team: Cincinnati (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: Bradley NA | Cincinnati +10000

Transitioning from the Missouri Valley Conference's Bradley to the Big 12's Cincinnati Bearcats, Connor Hickman is set to bring his considerable talents to a new stage for the 2024-25 season. At Bradley, Hickman shone brightly as part of a formidable quartet, leading the charge as the team's top scorer with an impressive average of 14.5 points per game, alongside 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists. His prowess from beyond the arc was particularly notable, with three standout performances where he sank six three-pointers, each contributing to a Bradley victory.

While his role at Cincinnati may evolve, Hickman's proven ability to consistently threaten from long range will undoubtedly add depth to the Bearcats' offensive strategies. Under the guidance of Coach Wes Miller, it will be interesting to observe how Hickman's sharpshooting skills are utilized, especially considering his previous experience in a system that emphasized a high volume of three-point attempts. With Cincinnati's national championship odds set at +10000, Hickman's transition is a key storyline to watch, as the Bearcats aim to enhance their competitiveness in the prestigious Big 12 Conference.

93 - Eddie Lampkin Jr.

Former Team: Colorado (Pac-12) | New Team: Syracuse (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Colorado +15000 | Syracuse +10000

In a significant roster update for the upcoming college basketball season, Eddie Lampkin, previously a dominant presence for Colorado in the Pac-12, has committed to continue his athletic and academic career with the Syracuse Orange in the ACC for the 2024-25 season.

Standing tall at 6'11" and weighing in at 300 lbs., Lampkin's stature and style of play might have some mistaking him for an NFL lineman rather than the agile basketball player he is. Despite his size, Lampkin has shown versatility on the court, although his performance has highlighted areas for growth, particularly in defense and stamina. His time at Colorado was marked by an average of 10.6 points, 7 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game for the 2023-24 season, yet his susceptibility in defensive scenarios, especially against the pick and roll, posed challenges.

Lampkin's transition to Syracuse is unexpected, to say the least, as his decision to join the Orange would have surprised many. As he prepares to bring his considerable talents to central New York, improving his lateral movements and endurance will be crucial for him to achieve and exceed the All-ACC standards. With Syracuse's national championship odds standing at +10000 and Colorado's at +15000, Lampkin's move could significantly impact both teams' futures. His journey from the Pac-12 to the ACC will be one to watch, as he aims to refine his skills and elevate Syracuse's competitive edge in the coming seasons.

Former Team: George Mason (Atlantic 10) | New Team: UCF (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: George Mason NA | UCF +25000

Transitioning from George Mason in the Atlantic 10 to the UCF Knights in the Big 12, Keyshawn Hall has made a significant move that has caught the attention of college basketball aficionados. Despite not having national championship odds listed for George Mason, UCF enters the fray with odds of +25000.

Hall, whose performance outshines his current recognition, has been the subject of various discussions, notably regarding his time at George Mason. Allegations of discord between him and his teammates have surfaced, alongside suggestions that he exaggerated an ankle injury to facilitate his transfer. These controversies, reminiscent of issues from his tenure at UNLV, paint a picture of Hall as a complex figure within team dynamics.

However, it's impossible to overlook Hall's undeniable skill on the court. With an impressive tally of 16.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game in the 2023-24 season, his athletic prowess is evident. As Hall prepares to don the UCF Knights jersey for the 2024-25 season, there's a palpable excitement about his potential impact. Should he channel his talents consistently throughout the season, Hall is poised to be a game-changing asset, possibly turning the odds in UCF's favor and redefining his legacy in college basketball.

2023-24 Stats: 16.6 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 1.4 APG

95 - Igor Milicic Jr.

Former Team: Charlotte (American) | New Team: Tennessee (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Charlotte NA | Tennessee +4000

After a season at Charlotte where he honed his skills, Igor Milicic is set to join the Tennessee Volunteers in the SEC for the 2024-25 season, marking a significant transition from his time at Charlotte in the American conference. This strategic move comes after Milicic left Virginia, seeking a fresh start and better opportunities, which he found, leading to impressive personal growth. Now standing tall at 6'10", Milicic has developed into a formidable guard, boasting an impressive average of 12.8 points per game, along with 8.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in the 2023-24 season. His shooting accuracy from beyond the arc, over 37%, highlights his versatility and unique skill set as a stretch big, a rarity in the sport.

Milicic's performance has certainly caught the attention of scouts, who are eager to see how his talents will unfold within the Volunteers' system. Tennessee's odds to win the National Championship stand at +4000, signaling optimism and anticipation for what Milicic's inclusion could mean for the team's future success.

96 - Damian Dunn

Former Team: Houston (Big 12) | New Team: Pittsburgh (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Houston +1500 | Pittsburgh +15000

Transitioning from his tenure with the Houston Cougars in the competitive Big 12 conference to the Pittsburgh Panthers in the ACC, Damian Dunn is set to make waves in the 2024-25 season. Despite Houston's strong odds for national championship contention at +1500, Pittsburgh's odds, at +15000, might see some adjustment with the addition of Dunn.

Dunn's journey through the 2023-24 season may not have showcased his full potential, as he navigated a challenging environment within Houston's talent-rich backcourt. Despite being an exceptional scorer at Temple for three years, his move to Houston saw him contending for playing time in a lineup where talent was abundant. Kelvin Sampson, Houston's head coach, had a plethora of guard options, limiting Dunn's on-court presence compared to his time with the Owls. However, when injuries plagued the team in March, Dunn rose to the occasion, improving his performance from an average of 5.1 points in 15 minutes during the regular season to 8.1 points in 19 minutes per game in the postseason.

With statistics from the 2023-24 season reflecting an average of 6.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 0.4 assists per game, Dunn's contribution might seem modest. Yet, his commitment to Pittsburgh signals not just a new chapter for him but also an exciting development for the Panthers as they prepare for the 2024-25 season.

2023-24 Stats: 6.4 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 0.4 APG

97 - Dillon Mitchell

Former Team: Texas (Big 12) | New Team: Cincinnati (Big 12)

National Championship Odds: Texas +4000 | Cincinnati +10000

Once heralded as a top-ten national recruit, Dillon Mitchell didn't quite fulfill the lofty expectations set for him in Texas. His commitment in 2022 was met with great enthusiasm, but as his time with the Longhorns unfolded, it became apparent that a change of scenery might be necessary. Now, the former Montverde standout is poised for a fresh start, and a new program could be just what he needs as he enters the latter half of his collegiate career.

As a slightly undersized forward, Mitchell has an opportunity to expand his game significantly. Currently, defenders tend to give him space, focusing on thwarting his drives and diminishing his explosiveness near the basket. By developing a reliable three-point shot, Mitchell could force defenders to play him more honestly, enhancing his effectiveness on the floor. This adjustment would diversify his offensive skills and make him a more versatile and challenging matchup.

Mitchell's upcoming stint at Cincinnati will be telling. It presents an excellent platform for him to showcase improvements in his shooting and overall game, potentially reigniting the potential that initially made him such a coveted recruit.

Former Team: Purdue (Big Ten) | New Team: Duke (ACC)

National Championship Odds: Purdue +3000 | Duke +1200

Transitioning from Purdue, a Big Ten contender, to the ACC powerhouse Duke Blue Devils, Mason Gillis, the forward celebrated as the Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year, is making a significant shift for the 2024-25 season. This move comes on the heels of an extraordinary campaign with Purdue, marking Gillis as one of two players parting ways with the Boilermakers. Known for his dynamic contribution that transcends traditional statistics, Gillis has been pivotal for his team, bringing unmatched energy and commitment that's evident both in-game and to those who've competed against him. His ability to consistently deliver high-quality performances ensures he'll be a valuable asset to Duke, who holds more favorable odds (+1200) at securing the National Championship compared to Purdue's +3000.

In the 2023-24 season, Gillis showcased his skills by averaging 6.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game, underscoring his versatility and integral role on the court. With his commitment to Duke, Gillis is poised to continue making significant contributions at a high-major level, where his relentless drive and basketball IQ will undoubtedly continue to shine.

99 - Zvonimir Ivisic

Former Team: Kentucky (SEC) | New Team: Arkansas (SEC)

National Championship Odds: Kentucky +4500 | Arkansas +3500

When Zvonimir Ivisic made his Kentucky debut against Georgia in January, he instantly captured the spotlight. Going five-for-seven from the floor, including three triples, and racking up 13 points in just 16 minutes, Ivisic sparked excitement about his potential as a stretch scorer for a Kentucky team seemingly on the cusp of something special. That performance, which remained his second-best showing of the season, set high expectations that, unfortunately, the rest of his season didn't quite meet.
