For what it's worth: here are our all-time single-season D-1 scoring leaders: 1, Von McDade, 29.6 (1990-91) 2, Shannon Smith, 24.5 (1994-95) 3, Dylan Page, 20.9 (2003-04) 4, Gerald Hardnett, 20.6 (1977-78) 5, B.J. Freeman, 20.3 (2023-24) Someone ask me at the game, who is the top 5 in scoring for Milwaukee?

IF B.J. was to come back (which I'm not expecting), he could finish way up toward the top on the all-time points list.

BJ would be 2nd in the conference in scoring; tied for 3rd or 4th in assists; (depending on how they handle rounding) tied for 7th in rebounds and in the top 25 in steals, blocks and field goal percentage. He'd also be 4th in the league in free throw percentage, 2nd in 3-point percentage and 4th in 3's made per game. Horizon League official stats don't show BJ on the leaderboard for any of those categories, so he's not played enough games to qualify. That will likely impact any POY candidacy he may have. Having said that, he should be a lock for at least second team all-conference, if not first. But...but how many defensive lapses did he have? I mean you can joke all you want but he had plenty last night again. I swear I should start clipping them so you guys can see what I see watching the game. Hes hidden away on usually the other teams worst offensive player or sitting down in the zone. Its no wonder we turned it around on defense when we switched to the zone last night he helps us hide guys on defense. The knock isnt that he isnt able to defend, but a guy his size and length should atleast be a decent positional defender but he doesnt even but his arms up alot of times on defense. They hunted him the first half and better teams have done that all year long. The game is played on two sides of the court and at times BJ is a elite offensive player for sure. Needs to cut the lazy turnovers and the lazy defense and hes likely the clear best player in the league. At one point in the second half he tossed it around the back loosely for 0 reason. For a guy who likely has pro ambitions that end of the court is where guys either make the pro level or not. At that level you will sit if you don't defend. No better time then now to start taking some pride on that end of the court.

Where would he go? Major P5 programs are gonna see what I have been seeing all year and have questions. Could he handle being pulled when he doesn't defend? Power 5 conference teams will hunt him on defense if he defends like he did this year. Teams do it in the Horizon could you imagine what would happen in the SEC Big East or Big10? Could he transfer up sure, but he shouldn't.

So Dylan is the fifth-leading scorer in UWM's D-1 history. B.J. would get that around mid-season.

He'd probably make more $$$ transferring up, however he will have way less usage going to a P5 school. Will be interesting to see what he does if he plans to opt out of his last year at Milwaukee.

Good perspective, FTA. Thanks! And I don't disagree with Reg on B.J.'s shortcomings, but I think he's a guy who could carry us for three or four games.

My current calculations have B.J. finishing with about 1,743 points if he returns for his final season.
