Crinkle cut are the best fries.


Xavier Amos to Virginia, very interesting.

I like Amos, maybe even better than Humrichous, but I sense we consider that spot filled with Carey Booth.
Agree.

GrayGhost77's list of good to excellent crinkle cut fries:

Portillo's
Shake Shack
Del Taco
Culver's
Raising Cane's
Arby's

Other, non-crinkle cut fries worth mentioning:

Chik Fil A
McD's
Wendy's
Five MFers
Arby's Curly

Have you watched him play ??

Kid has some Feliz to his game ...

I'm not saying he's our TJ replacement ... But could he provide a great role off the bench ??? Without a doubt ... ELITE defender ...
So you’re thinking a Harmon replacement?

We need another guard ... Posh can handle it and allow Kylan to rest or play off ball ... As well as be our best perimeter defender ...

For Harmon money ... He's a no brainer add to me ...

It gives us another proven ball handler ... And right now ... We only have 1 ...

And there is mutual interest ... Brad has always liked Posh and we have a hook with him now ...

We have a lot of bench pieces at this point, we need some proper starters, right?

Unless we're deviating from the 4 incoming Combo guard, scoring wing, rim protector, shooter big pieces.

Wooga Poplar would fit much, much better at our starting 2 spot.

Ok, I give in. I will weigh in on the fries. I loathe McDonalds as a whole so I dont eat there. Freddy's however leads the game for me. Wendy's can be really good too if you like the thicker ones but they are hit and miss....

Back to the reason I am on here. This is the most I have followed in the off-season due to this page and the Cardinals sucking. I can't wait to see what Brad and team constructs and hear about it here first.

Who do we have off the bench that can handle the ball ?

I could easily see something like: Posh, Domask, Jones, Onyenso ...

Or something like: Posh, Wooga, Jones, Onyenso ...

There is also going to be the potential to add 5 ... High potential ...

As a bench guy, sure, but do we need more bench guys at this point?

HUGE pass wow what a disappointment this would be if intended to be a starter
Not sure how you get him and Boswell into the same starting lineup given both are true PG's and both are on the shorter side.

But 16th in the nation in steals, shot better this year, a grizzled 5th year guy, this looks pretty good to me as a Dante Maddox replacement.

From the Bronx, we were involved in his recruitment back when OA was here the first time, you can see the connection.

Boy, add Boswell, Alexander and Onyenso and we would just be an unrecognizably different team in terms of style of play. Not good or bad necessarily, but just a night and day different strengths and weaknesses profile.

The days of opposing offenses running whatever they want at their own pace would be over with Alexander, that really appeals.

I mean....if Ugonna have Mor Seck.....you should always add some Wooga.
Supreme Cook, Prophet Johnson, Wooga Poplar, Mor Seck and Posh Alexander have all entered the portal in the past 24 hours. These are the days of miracle and wonder.

Wooga isn't necessarily the highest level scoring wing we've discussed, but he's a nice player.

Still feeling good about Jones?

Okay. I'm convinced now. Was thinking DGL would be our backup ball handler but is he not ready for that?

Thanks for that. The only one questionable for me is Claude. If he’s not successful at Xavier, then do we want him?

Where is the whole not successful at Xavier narrative coming from ??

Kid averaged 16,4, and 4 ... Played 37 MPG ... Guarded the other teams best player ...

And played through a major shooting elbow issue all year and never missed a game ...

He is a good shooter ... Not elite ... But good ... The elbow issue has been fixed ...

Domask was only 29% on 3s this year ... Worked out alright for us ...

Sean LOVED the kid ... Did not want to lose him ...

Dez's camp was shopping the kid all year behind his back and now they've lost the best offer they had trying to negotiate for more money ... And that's not the kids fault ...

I'd take him in a heart beat if Jones and Domask are not options ...

DGL? it doesn't hurt to add another ball handler but I really pull for him to be successful. If DGL transfers, that is probably telling people sub-50 prep players have nothing to do with ILL.
