That was probably the best interview by a college player I've ever witnessed. He's well spoken and his answers were very substantive. He's going to be a very good leader for this team.

Agree. If whoever is covering him doesn't vacate the paint and Reed can hit that shot at a decent clip, that's 3 points when they fall. All it takes is him knocking down 1 or 2 early 3s and the paint will open up for cutters. With Reibe coming in as a stretch 4/5 combo, if Reed can do the same...

I do have some sympathy for the guy and wish TN could have tried to work something better out, at least get him a seat somewhere in the upper part of the lower level for a slightly increased price. With that said, large yearly price hikes is the new normal throughout most sports. I used the...

One thing I definitely agree with the article is the two most critical positions to have experience and continuity at are the point guard and center positions, with the point guard being the most important. Rarely if ever do you see teams make the final four or win it all without having an...

Just my general take on how recruiting plays out: Early on and throughout most of the summer, you can get a general idea of who the staff are looking at based on reports of what players the staff seems to be watching at some of the larger events. But that is only part of the picture, since...

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to realize how flawed all the predictive college hoops rankings, draft predictions, etc., are. Granted there are always a few uber-athletic maturely built, skilled ballers that turn out to be clear top draft pics, but the rest are a crap shoot as they develop at...

What do mean!?!? Last year some had McNeeley in the lottery and...oh never mind.

Based on the video I saw on Furphy even before this event, he looked like a pretty skilled and in control player to me that has a great shot at earning meaningful minutes this upcoming season. We too often put far too much stock in pure athleticism. There have been and will always be excellent...

I thought I heard either Reibe himself or someone in the know say it's promounced Ry-ba. For what it's worth, I took German in high school and unlike English, where words are inconsistently pronounced regardless of the spelling, German words are always consistently pronounced. "ei" combination...

Some coaches do more with less. Jim Calhoun was a great example of that. While Scheyer is a coach that does less with more. That Cooper led team should have at least made it to the final game with all that 5-Star talent. I've posted this many times. If anyone has a lot of time on their hands...

Many like predicting playing time, who sees the floor and who will sit. Hurley and his staff will figure it out. With that said, Furphy, even though he's not a plus athlete, has an advanced offensive game and approach, that should earn him some playing time. One major factor for who plays and...

Um, yes! Just hearing about that idea, if implementated, makes me want to find out where you live, and throw my Five Guys bag...I have standards...at the target from at a minimum 3-Pt range, then give the three finger sign out the window regardless if I hit the target or not. :)

I vaguely remember that game. I didn't recall those details but have a faint recollection of having a phew moment at the end of that game. That first half must have traumatized me.

Depending on how things are and have been with your find, it was either a bargain or one of your most costly purchases. :)

You can't have a 0 and 00 on the same roster? Who came up with that idiotic rule? And why!?!? Can you have a 1 and an 11? How about a 9 and 99? I can't wait till some ref lights up some player wearing 99 with a foul and then flashes a two handed 9 fingers twice at the scorers table. And what...
