TBC - he lead Providence in assists last year, while not playing a traditional PG role, he brought the ball up and initiated the offense quite a bit. So, this isn't asking him to do unnatural things for him. But our scheme is different, he's getting used to different players, etc. so it will...

To be honest, that is the least impressive highlight reel they've released so far - which is likely one reason we haven't heard more buzz around him. I was expecting a lot more P&R plays or him making some of those highlight reel passes we saw some of from him last year. I'm sure it's getting...

That timeline makes a lot of sense, he's out all of September, but slowly integrates through the month of October. Then it's up to how he responds to increased work in practice to see when he would be ready for games in Nov. but it would seem plausible mid-November games would be close to a...

Obviously you have to have the personnel to play fast - we didn't last year, but if Vaaks and Coleman can play fast and limit turnovers we have the folks to do it this year - it also leads to more open threes which would be good for this team.

This is all true- but the most satisfying win by a wide margin for me would be UConn, not the most important, that would be Michigan, nor the best win, that would be Duke. But the most satisfying is UConn, need to get past the Hurley demons if we are going to take the next step and we have the...

IMO stopping them hasn’t been our issue- we just can’t score on them. We were the most efficient offense in the history of Kenpom for much of the season and scored 62 points in the final four. Whatever it is, they have found the kryptonite for Tyler’s offense the last three years. I believe...

Yes, they are three weeks too old. Every rule needs a cutoff but they get screwed on this one. If their birthday was Sep 1 instead of Aug 9th , they would get one more year under 5 in 5

That's a good insight from Vaaks last year - the thing that gives me confidence that he'll improve in both rim rate and % made at the rim is our offensive scheme When we talk about how our scheme is so efficient and makes lead guards great it's because we have a pick and roll big who you have...

I think he's talking about the 2022 Melendez Technical game where Houston was a 5 seed, but really high on the analytic rankings

No doubt this is our highest expectation heading into a season since '05. We have to watch the complacency that I think hit Purdue last year in a very similar spot of having 3 key guys return after an NC game appearance and they all got paid huge dollars in NIL. One reason I think our guys...

I think Lincoln Williams plays meaningful minutes this year. If he brings the defensive intensity and rebounds well, his length and quickness will be a problem for other teams. He's the X factor for me this year given I already think everyone in the top 7 will be great. I also love Morillo, I...

No MJ, Tre White, Skyy Clark nor RJ Melendez - it seems the social team didn’t include anyone with some negative vibes when they left I can see some rationale for not including players that maybe aren’t connected to the program anymore, but it’s also good pub to have 12 former Brad players in...

The reality is we have 5 starters who all have the ability to be high usage guys, which is what makes this team so exciting. We don't need Q to have really high usage, if he is a catch and shoot three point man and someone who can breakdown a defense and create shots for others, that is all...

I believe that is Landon in both - yes, he looks like he has a sweet stroke from three and showed some hops on the dunk. In the spirit of over-projecting based on a 49 second practice highlight clip - it looks like he's ready to play this year!

I have the same thought- beating UConn would be such a monkey off our back- almost critical to feel like we’ve taken the next step At Duke is going to be an expected loss- they have a Superteam but not one player of the year like the last two years, so in my mind that game is only upside and a...
