Prose

• I'm not familiar with the "everyday starter" phrase. Can you change it to "regular starter"?
  • Done.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:29, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
• State the full name in the article's body. Caris LeVert grew up in... and you can begin the second sentence with he.
  • Per WP:LASTNAME, the full name does not get repeated.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD)
• You should explain who Mitch McGary and Stauskas are.
  • Done.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:53, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
• I'm little confused by "was probably the reason". Was there another more obvious reason for this action?
  • There is never really any specific reason why one school steals another school's basketball coach, but in this case the most prominent accomplishment is not likely to be challenged. I have slightly modified the text because the text actually points to a pair of victories as the reason.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:24, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
• There is some de-linking that needs to be done: depth chart, head coach, points, rebounds, free throw, steals.
  • I just checked the duplicate links tool and only one link was redundant. Most of the other links you mentioned are generally suppose to be linked in basketball articles.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:56, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
• Also, when I click on South Carolina State for example, I expect it to lead to South Carolina State Bulldogs basketball, not to 2013–14 South Carolina State Bulldogs basketball team.
  • The article that has the information about the team that they played is in the latter link. It has the information about the players and coaches that he played against. It also clarifies the accomplishments of the team that he played against.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:20, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Retrohead, I have addressed your concerns.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:38, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Images and sources

• Images are under free use, with appropriate licensing information.
• ref 4–there is trouble with accessing this link
  • It just opened normally for me in Firefox on Windows 8.1.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:22, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
• ref 28–this appears to be blog, judging by the site's banner
  • Modern standards for WP:RS allow for blogs from experts on topics of their expertise. The Big Ten Conference is a sufficiently reliable source for the rankings of its own teams, which is a very objective thing, even though the source is the conferences official blog.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:26, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
• Other references seem reliable and properly formatted.

Tony, I've finished the review. Address the notes above and I'm ready to pass the article. The only concern left was linking the words which I consider part of the everyday vocabulary, but since you're more experienced in writing sport biographies, I'll trust your word.--Retrohead (talk) 20:48, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Retrohead, I have replied.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:26, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
