Yeah I don’t know if we’re done with portal entries yet …

I am with you and let’s take the names off of the back of the jerseys.

I do find it funny that they finally allow players to make money off these jerseys with their names on them...and the act of buying them immediately burns so many people that they will be hard pressed to continue to sell many. Who is going to spend that kind of money on a guy's jersey again after something like Skyy Clark happens? The only ones people will buy are alumni ones.

FWIW Moretti followed On3 and their transfer account today.... not sure if he's entering or not

I don't like anyone leaving, but since I only heard of Moretti existing about 3 months ago and could not pick him out of a lineup it won't have the impact as one of the other guys.

Kind of like Perrin vs Melendez. One stings quite a bit more obviously.

Nah, I'm a sucker for new jerseys every season. I don't see that changing... But I might switch to Velcro letters for the back.

Give me 2 Trent’s, 2 DMFWs, 2 Feliz, 2 Plummer …

At least I know we can hit shots and freaking guard …

Had a very big booster talk to me the other night and said he enjoyed Brad’s 2nd year more than last year and the more I get to thinking about it … I did to …
Maybe I'm older but if I'm wishing give me Harper, Eddie Johnson, Kendall, Brandon Paul, and Corey Bradford. That would work if I'm dreaming! I often think what EJ would do today from the arc.

Yeah, and also, you draw a lot more fouls attempting twos near the basket than chucking up threes, and fouls shots aren't included in those stats, either. Threes are great but those numbers don't tell the whole story. I feel like MM saw stats like those and just ran with them, lol.
Don’t know the stats but seems the pull up jumper had to be better than taking it to the basket and getting stuffed. Thought SDSU was 1/16 at one time for layups in the final game. Need to measure stats by open shots rather than distance. Seems like we got killed by those shots all year.

Dain, Luke, Ty, Sencire, Coleman (most likely), and potentially TSJ. That's returning way more than we did last year. If we get the guys I think, everyone is going to love this roster
It would be an ok lineup with some great talent. I would worry about consistency shooting from the outside and the guard position

With that said Goode needs to step up and be able to take more of a role on defense. Harris and Ty need a shot but they need to keep the energy


There is enough talent in the portal to have players better than Epps and RJ but they need to be the right player who compliments the core and not a star player who doesn’t buy in
