    Saw Will Wade do a session today at the Texas Coaches Clinic. Some guys do sessions and you can’t see the vision, but he knows he’s offensively inclined and his teaching is smooth. Very good offensive session. Ended with, we pay the most to the people we want to shoot the ball. It’s always been...

    When he committed my response was "I like guys who make 3s and try to put you in the rim." He can shoot and is athletic. Strength/size is easy to add with a guy like Fletch.

    This EIU talk is confusing to me. I feel like they’re are neither underachieving nor overachieving. I feel like they’re exactly what they are supposed to be. If you bring in a new guy, he’s probably not gonna do better. He’s probably not even gonna do the same. Why am I wrong?

    We are an offense based team. We have been for a couple years. Underwood said multiple times our top 2 offensive traits are positional size and shooting. Knowing that, who does he play over offensively, as a 6’6 non-stretch 4? If you say well Ty can play pg and has size at 6’6, who does he...

    The only place you can play Ty offensively is in the dunker spot or as a screener/roller. If you play him in the dunker spot, he can be guarded by a big who gets to play defense at the rim and not have to worry about closing out to even a short corner jumper. If you play him in the P/R, his...

    Thanks man. My HS team was lucky to play well into March this year, so I only really had time to watch Illini games and move on. The HS season, plus March madness starting, and then the Illini playing a regional in Houston was a pretty nice combo for me. Hope to overanalyze 1 minute summer...

    Our system does a good job playing to our strengths. If we were a pressure + deny team with our personnel we’d give up 120 a game. (Interestingly enough, my HS team played a huge team in the playoffs that should have been a wall building team, but they were pressure and deny, and we sliced right...
