I don't follow the football side as closely, but I think we had a freshman corner who was decent hit that portal in the spring once "better" offers opened up. I just hate the idea that teams are turning into farm systems for the few mega conferences. I love winning and will likely get into it in...

I think our demonstrated struggles with bigs last season and the influx of bigs in the conference mean this will be a bit less of a red herring than the point guard drama.

As a Georgian, the wind is less enjoyable up close. Branches flying all over around my place and a neighbors windshield took a beating.

Gives me upper middle class Matt Doherty vibes.

Davis is a wing shooter. Booth in the list is a 5, but not a big, lumbering banger style.

The trouble is the lack of skilled, athletic bigs the NBA prefers that can be found in college. I think Edey, Clingan, Garza, Kofi, etc. types will have an opportunity to excel in college in a way they just won't at the next level because that is what college teams have more access to.

Bradshaw would be interesting, but I was not impressed with him at KU. Tons of tools to work with, but he was nearly unplayable some games the second half of the year.

Terrible call, but it should give the gift of a super presser from Geno.

This last stretch has been frustrating, some of the worst habits from the season on offense popping up. Driving without a plan, throwing up wild shots and not looking outside for very open shooters.

If he didn't live in the gym working on his shot last summer, there is a real problem. And if he did, what makes us think another summer will fix it? Ben Simmons is a pretty relevant cautionary tale in waiting for a shot to appear through offseason work (though I have doubts Ben was working all...

As someone who had that toe surgery 4 times myself, I can attest to the discomfort and distraction that pain is while playing hoops (even at the Y).

I'm a big Coleman fan, but I actually think when he is playing with focused aggression he excels. Once he starts gesturing to refs and focusing on what isn't happening for him he falls apart. Last night he came out on fire against Duquesne and was playing to the crowd and his team. Once they got...

Tough region, Iowa State, Auburn and UConn is a lot of tough, gritty and talented teams in a single region (not to mention The Beloved). Would have loved to see Duke, UNC or Kentucky instead of any of those squads.

Holtmann to Depaul is interesting.

I'm right there with you, she has been an incredibly unlikeable likable player this year. For some reason she blows a lot of shots around the rim and after every one she throws her arms in the air and the majority of the time the replay shows no contact. It's a bummer that she has that young...
