IMO, the good news about those Hutch videos isn't just the bounce, its landing from that height being just fine, with no issues in his back.
as we all know, recruiting is fluid. Not over yet...................wut? reeling us back in? how fluid is it?
Probably the best player in the world.
Nopethought he was sec bound?
Nikki B will listen to anyone up until the last second...
the plot thickens, lolas we all know, recruiting is fluid. Not over yet...................
He made a great pass to Kaufman against Iowa
Thanks for the memories! I was there and ran all the way to six pack screaming
Thx....loved seeing Tom Davis wandering around looking dazed and confusedThanks for the memories! I was there and ran all the way to six pack screaming
He'd be like Kobe mixed with a more athletic Larry Bird.

No SEC for NB...So I think that cuts out 4 of the top 7 destinations?Nope
Respectfully disagree—I think Curbelo is ready to handle all that and more. He’s that special, like 15 pts 8 assists and 7 boards with 2 spg special as a sophomore.If we're expecting Belo to play 30+ mins next year, his defense needs to a tick or two upward, similarly his fouling (or at least silly fouls) needs to trend the opposite way.
In terms of the next couple years, especially next years team, an impact big is still solidly number 1 on my list. The Hutch talk is great, and if he can take half of Ayo's minutes and be productive with them, I'll be absolutely ecstatic. Fact is, the talk around Giorgi potentially leaving, Kofi seemingly leaning into the draft (not to mention the complications of many transfers most likely wanting to wait out his decision), and Trent and Ayo gone as ball handlers makes me very concerned about how we can keep up next year.
TyTy would immediately ease a huge concern for me. What's the list of ball handlers on this team? Belo and maybe Miller? Just dont know if Curbelo is ready for that kind of load. I love the direction the team is going getting bigger and hounding 3 pt shooters, but living through the Groce era of PGs still gives me night terrors.
I have faith the staff can fill the 5 with competent players, but I'm very far from wanting to see Hamlin or Lieb get any sort of real playing time.
I am with you. I feel he is certainly up to the challengeRespectfully disagree—I think Curbelo is ready to handle all that and more. He’s that special, like 15 pts 8 assists and 7 boards with 2 spg special as a sophomore.
Maybe I worded that too strongly against Curbelo. If I had my choice, he'd be out there for 35 minutes a game, every game. I do agree he's our PG, full stop.Respectfully disagree—I think Curbelo is ready to handle all that and more. He’s that special, like 15 pts 8 assists and 7 boards with 2 spg special as a sophomore.
A lot of those are silly reach ins and are correctable.Maybe I worded that too strongly against Curbelo. If I had my choice, he'd be out there for 35 minutes a game, every game. I do agree he's our PG, full stop.
The fact he averaged 2.7 fouls in 21.5 mins per game, means that if we expect him to up his minute total by 10, he's averaging 4 fouls a game. That's a scary amount regardless of his talent/skill. In fact, 2.7 fouls per game is a total higher than Fraizer, Ayo, or even Kofi every has achieved in a single season (though I dont take a ton of stock from that, just something I found interesting).
If he can maintain 2.7 fouls, but up his PT to averaging over 30, I'll be much relieved. Fact is, he will be in early foul trouble in at least some of our games, who plays in his stead? I'd still like another PG who could play 15 minutes a game. I dont think that's knocking what Curbelo is, I think it's insuring we wont have to play extended minutes without a quality PG.

In true B10 fashion suddenly he’ll be called for less fouls despite playing similar defense because he’s gone through the freshman hazing that is B10 officiating. Note: offer does not apply to Giorgi, because there’s always one guy on the team that is the “quick whistle” guy according to the zebras.Maybe I worded that too strongly against Curbelo.
