I hope he is alright. I've had a couple, not pleasant.

Man Trent looked good. Think the whole MS recruitment put TF on the backburner in our minds but he looks smooth on offense. Had a sick pass in that video and made plenty of plays.

I'm pretty excited about all of the guys we've got coming, plus can't wait to see how Tejon, Kipper, and the upperclassmen look under BU's system. It's going to be a fun season. At least the most fun of any one since Groce's first year.

Matic looks like he has excellent vision for the passing lanes. Should work out great with the system

I couldn't understand what Underwood said at the end of that clip. Anyone?
Paraphrasing, but basically that they're off to a good start today, they need to come in tomorrow and keep improving.

Oops, second question. What are locker room issues? I take that to mean he may have had personality clashes with his fellow players?



No worries here


A couple shots of Pepto Bismol should take care of any issues he might be having

I think the "locker room issues" were pretty similar to what Ray Rice had to deal with here.

High on TF. But he has to learn recalibrate his decision making because D1 bigs are an entirely different animal than HS bigs. Applies to all freshman guards.

Have read some concerns about Frazier's J: ball too low when released, unorthodox form, streaky shooter. Any merit to that? FWIW, I think those are valid, yet overblown.

For what it's worth, College Sports Madness did a ranking of the top 144 teams in college basketball. Our beloved are at #122

Maryland #39
Iowa #44
Indiana #55
Wisconsin #62
Ohio St #76
Penn St #86
Nebraska #99

The rest of the rankings will be released as the days leading up to the season dwindle down. Leaving us at the 13th best team in the conference. We were behind the likes of Elon, Albany, Mo. State, Loyola (IL), Grand Canyon (!), Fairfield, Mercer, UC-Irvine and Louisiana Lafayette.

Oh, the bluebloods. Nothing wrong with that. :D

Rankings are just someone's opinion (an opinion they get paid good money) but anytime you rank a few of the aforementioned schools on that list in front of B10 schools it's just that "an opinion"

Often times they aren't even opinion, they are a mechanism for attracting views.

Wow, they really did their homework on this one.

If someone paid for that ranking, they should be asking for their money back.
