It could be interpreted either way, but the "he can shoot" comment afterwards makes one think that that person tweeting him assumed chad will be the point guard

Yeah, she's raving about him. Chad only said he worked out with him.

RE: Champlin: Illinois guard Nick Norton gives verbal commitment to UAB
Once we get to conference season, this is the five I think will be on the floor in a tie game on the road with 5 minutes left:

Norton
Frazier
Brown
Washington
Lee

Haase won't put Ha Ha at the 5 for long stretches but I predict he will be a better interior defender than Mehinti already and a much better FT shooter/scorer. When the game is on the line I'm going to want Lee patrolling the paint for UAB.

Good luck defending that five too. Very athletic and all can shoot the 3.

With 5 minutes left, Mehinti will have already fouled out.

Hopefully Mehinti will be given special attention regarding fouls during the offseason.

He has a pretty good vertical and long arms. Hopefully he'll develop into a force on the inside. He had roughly the same amount of blocks as Faz in like 1/3 of the minutes.

Mehinti looked like a freshman this year, but got better.

I hope like hell he stays out of that much foul trouble going forward.

You could tell mehinti has a ton of athletic ability but not a whole lot of basketball skills, yet. However, he was still quite good and effective as a freshman. Like you guys said, if he can get those fouls under control, he could be a real beast for us.

Yeah, she's raving about him.

Yeah...it's not like it is her head coach's son or anything.

Yes, I'm sure her coach told her to get on social media and talk his son up. He seems like the type of guy to do that.

She's a senior and the season is over. It's not like she has any reason to suck up at this point, even if she would.

Maybe, just maybe, the kid can play and both Chad and Karisma are impressed with him...

Shrug. Then throw in a winking smiley or a JK or something, 'cause reading it flat out there is no way to tell that you're joking.

I didn't get my panties in a bunch, it just seemed like a gratuitous slap at a player who has done very well for UAB, so I spoke up for her.

Seeing as how I know Karisma, I can tell you with great certainty that she doesn't need anybody to speak up for her.

Now if someone that knows Chad can post and let us know that he doesn't need anyone to speak up for him either, all will be well.

Nobody knows Chad. Chad doesn't even know himself. #ManofMystery
