I have long subscribed to the Mel Brooks theory of comedy: I assume that if I find something funny, other people will too. If they don’t… f#€k ‘em!

[zentrails]

If someone says that's not funny it's usually hilarious.

What kind of player is it installed for (like, do you have a tall PG or a wing with a large caboose, etc)? Or multiple players?

I have a strong, athletic secondary handler who is also a phenomenal passer, and a really strong guard who was my best post player as a Soph last year, and will be my best overall player next year. We ran more traditional post entry isos for him but teams started over helping early to deny him the ball. So now I just give him the ball and get everyone else out of the way.

I’m gonna have to make my way to Central TX to see your version of it.

Motion to add Big Lebowski references.

Good luck!

Pretty sure it was a joke. Take a breath.

Yeah I done goofed. There’s an old saying in Tennessee, I know it’s in Texas. Probably in Tennessee. fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again

We don't need to fill all 5 open spots. Really we only NEED two more guys, a perimeter scorer and a true center.

Big holes that need quality solutions, but what we have so far is a pretty good start. Boswell, Booth and White are really talented (as is Morez of course), Ty impacts games, and Humrichous is the kind of guy that makes a team much tougher to play. We're on the right track.

I said this before and I will say it again. White is going to be really good!

 

[Quasimodo101]

This guy also claims that we're getting Wagner.

Morez is not sitting

Now watch this drive

Do we have any confirmation that we are even pursuing Demin? I know that was the google search hypothetical some put out there, but we at least have confirmation now that Tomislav is one of the ones the staff is pursuing, I haven't seen that on Demin, unless I missed it

Maybe some folks are just assuming he's one of the guys BU was pursuing in Europe.
