He got a Green Room invite, somebody evidently thinks he might go high
That would be a wise bet.
I hope he gets drafted. Its sad to watcha player alone in the room.
I think there needs to be some reasonable or realistic expectations for Ty. He didn't attempt a three or I can't even recall a jumper. He was 31 percent from the line. To project Ty to suddenly take many 3s, much less hit threes or his FTs shooting to improve by 40 percent is unrealistic over one off season.
Either that or the cynic in me first thought "oh they need the storyline of someone being invited to the green room and then falling out of the first round"
Not that that's at all what I hope happens. I wish the best for Podz, just didn't work out here.
I also don't put a ton of blame on BU(or every other HM coach that passed on him before he went to Santa Clara) for him leaving. Sometimes it's just really hard to project that sophomore leap
Don’t worry, before Ty was anointed PG duties there were projections for him to average 15/9/4, might need to up those sophomore numbers though.
So did 24 other guys. Which probably means he's going late 1st Rd though guys do get invited and fall in the 2nd round.
Most of what I've seen is between 18 and 25
I wl be pulling for him. Met him and his family briefly and the seemed like good folks.

I think one thing to consider here is Underwood has favorite guys who he will elevate into large roles who are big effort, extra possession, dive on the floor, take no sht guys like DaMonte.
If that is the case with Ty, then he will give this kid the keys and tell the world to GF themselves.
I think DGL is a sleeper here.
He looks to already have better offensive skillset as a scorer overall than either Clark who was too slow, or Epps who was spotty and really struggled down the stretch with shooting.
If DGL can handle the ball well enough and guard a little bit we might be OK with Ty and him. He seems to be a tough kid.
If Harmon can play we will be OK and honestly we will be ahead of last year.

Also a motion to ban the phrase "that's a bad look"
My bad. Carry on...

We're left with "opinion" or "view" if we want to remain concise. "Take" is a softer term. If we abolish "take" I look forward to the consistently measured reactions from posters told, in response to a hot take: "awful opinion/view." Let the Loyalty Newspeak dictionary be so amended. In this event I foresee nothing but increasingly harmonious relations on the Board.
While we're at it, let's prohibit any use of the word "elite", too, even if satirically deployed. As in 1984, only Inner Party Members such as BU will be permitted to use it.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to resume monitoring developments on the Malabar... er... PG Front. We have always been at war with The Portal...

I hadn't thought about it previously, but the Two Minutes Hate concept can be applied to the Board.
All things considered, spring timing of hire, interim coach, coming out of a few dumpster fire years I think the Lovie hire was fine. didn't work as well as hoped, but was part of the path to get us where we are today.
Not take
Just in order to get this thread back on track, WSJ article today titled:

That's good to hear. It's possible we do well with DGL. Not that it helps, but expectations will be low since he's a true freshman, and wasn't in the RSCI rankings. He should fit the role this team needs, even if he's not a high level scorer this early in his career. You need mental toughness down the stretch, and someone who's good at the FT line. Lotta tick there if he's up for it. I just can't see Ty there late game without a big change in his FT shooting.
Not familiar with Dough Box, but I’m a big fan of Triple Beam Pizza, also in Highland Park.

Just a look at a typical day in Congress........." .We have progressed to the snarkyness level of our primate " cousins ".....pru 2023
Such a proud day of social achievement .........Hooray for the first amendment that allows stupidity to overrule intelligence......
What is the quote about the wise man?
The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance. Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.
Carry on my wayward bro's..........
