Or a parrot.
I’ve bee n thinking a lot about this. Clearly this is true,but I was wondering if somehow this was a stat/metric that is tracked.
Surely the staff has empirical evidence that shows the teams’s and individual percentages when shots aren’t prayers being thrown up at the end of the shot clock (while falling backwards with someone draped on them, lol)
Indy, 0440, Varsity….do you know if this is something that is tracked - both broadly (Varsity) and specifically by Brad & Co?
I can see DGL getting playing time. PU had two freshmen guards and did a good job. Would like to see the kid from Syracuse. He can rebound.
According to Sleepers, Brad definitely will dip the portal well heavily versus an anti-portal guy like Izzo. If TSJ and Coleman go, this will be a telling year. Was last year's problem a younglin issue versus everybody new and some of them bought gun? But I understand the concerns for freshmen. Some of them, like Skyy, were meant to transfer after a year anyway.
You can assume DGL sees playing time as well and the idea that he would redshirt is more like an invite to move on.
Anyone read anything on Dalton Knecht? nothing convincing on line yet. Curious if anyone knows the latest?
i have to trust the insiders when they say were not done. i keep hearing
about positionless basketball but that has to include a true point guard
in my opinion.. we currently don't have one ready to play.
eye of the tiger? thrill of the fight.

hard to believe that the offensive strategy wasn't Mayer and/or Shannon going one on one as other players stood around and watched/waited. Hopefully the upcoming season will see more ball movement and players picking and cutting.
Position less basketball can only work against so many rosters, in my opinion. Every team needs a true floor general at times.. And if you are going up against a dominant center, you usually need one to match.
I haven't seen Morez play, except for videos. Indiana's Jackson-Davis couldn't shoot but he could score. Plenty. As Illini learned the hard way. When Morez arrives, is there any reason he can't be that kind of guy? I wouldn't think so.

Hope Shannon returns for one more year. Would like to see him improve on his drive and dish. Last year, when Shannon took the ball to the hoop during half court offense. The result was:
Basket
Foul
Basket and foul
Turnover
What is missing? I am sure he had some assists but don't recall many.

Ordinarily I would agree with you. But nothing is ordinary anymore. You've got to find a way to get elite recruits like DGL a lot of PT; not just to add a significant upgrade at the point, but to reduce his interest in the portal. I would hate to be a head coach nowadays in putting together a stable, talented roster to build on.

charging foul on TSJ..........guess that could be considered a turnover but , hey , I just wanted to post something to feel like I was contributing to the conversation......I really really did.......
I'm medded up and enjoying it immensely....I really really am.........................

Sorry - Don't consider DGL elite. Sure he is a top 100 kid. Getting significant playing time how has that worked out? Miller, Epps, RJ,
Have to think Knect is out of the picture considering Domask is essentially the same players.
Yeah… but have you been thinking a whole lot???
Not meaning to nitpick words, but I think some of the questioning also comes form their former locations. I do not consider Utah Valley nor South Dakota to be mid-majors. SIU, sure. But trust in the staff as always!
My bad I meant Trent

Well , considering the DGL comment on being yelled at , at least he won't cry and sulk and pout on the bench and refuse to go back in.........
I think DGL will surprise many , just like I said that Sincere would play more than most expected ......does that make me an insider ??
or at least an outlier insider ??

or maybe just an old hippie enjoying discussing our favorite team and passing the day doing what I love to do the mostest bestest way..............

The player from SD is a WALK-ON. Anyone carping about him is grinding an axe.
As to Harmon, he's a depth piece. Seems like more axe grinding.
