Man, that was a depressing read.

Any of you Indiana guys that follow AAU BB, know that DGL and Braden Smith had some epic battles. Even though DGL is a year behind Braden, he held his own. Purdue fans were concerned about Smith leading a veteran team as their PG but he came out of the box starting for the #1 team in the country. Coaches probably already have good indication of what a DGL/Harmon combo can do and are impressed enough that they will pass on Touissant and Krissa. Go Illini
If our coaches really have dubbed two guys who averaged more turnovers than assists last season (DGL as a prep) the answer at point guard based upon a few practices, we have more problems than we could have possibly anticipated.
DGL's 4.4 to 2.7 ATO ratio for QTE was pretty good.
I think chemistry in terms of minutes; shots, positions, and NIL are big factors in not pursuing further PGs. But we also don't know what is being discussed.
But necessary.
There was a story that Coach Weber was giving the team one of his talks at the conclusion of practice. Everyone else was heads up paying attention. Meechie (McCamey's other nickname) stood there, with his head down, dribbling a basketball.
By cure, do you mean induce?

It was a horrible timeline. And yet it makes me so thankful for Trent, DMW, and Mr. Feliz.
Chemistry to BU is paramount. Kriisa's 5.1 apg stat is impressive but more compelling is Tommy Lloyd's desire to see him leave. Not sure we need head cases on this team.
Is that true? Not questioning it, it is just there is so much chatter about him it is hard to sort out.
Pretty good?
Any word if Harmon is eligible? That would be helpful.

There is a readily available video of coach Lloyd talking about how KK was an addition from a chemistry standpoint...
Haha. I was just messing around. You’re right. Nothing wrong with it!
That's how the game's played.
If TC is correct and Lloyd wanted him gone, that's another issue.
I look at the record and think that it's hard to put that together with a point guard who's a locker room problem.
Who knows. I'm not convinced he'd come even we want him.
Directly from an Arizona insider, Kriisa is leaving because he was told his minutes were being reduced with the new players coming in and he was going to play more of a 6th man role. This was due to a combination of his inconsistent play and the talent coming in. There were no known locker room issues or problems with teammates and his coach did not force him out the door. I really think this he's a clubhouse cancer and headcase narrative needs to be put to rest for the time being unless something actually credible comes out that he is.
Why would Coleman Hawkins be the 2nd option? Dude has been terrible on offense for three years.
His Royal Frankness was also pretty great from day one.
Just wrapped up his classes. Should be here soon.
It may be the liquor talking but I love you.
I don't know if the talk about Kriisa being a bad teammate or whatever you want to call it are true , but if the rumors of BU not wanting him on the team are true then maybe Underwood did his homework. After all he is friends with Gentry who has connections with Tommy Lloyd and he might have also spoke with Huggins. For some reason BU does not seem to be pursuing Kriisa.
Abisinthe?
Are you saying that TSJ and CoHawk are good shooters?
