There is little difference in humidity. If it's Florida, it's swamp @$$ from May-October. No escaping it.

Sanogo hit two vs Miami in the Final Four in the first half when the game was still close. He also kept us in the game at Creighton with three makes and had another two in the earlier win.

If you believe the off season increase from Reed, he has done inch and maybe ten pounds.

Duren's a good comp, but I think he's a far better athlete (run/jump) than Reed. Reed will need to add another element to stick in the league.

The likelihood is that this is just Reed working on a skill that he thinks he needs for the next level. If he takes a few in the early season scrub games and makes a decent %, it has the potential to impact how defenses scout and play us, but I seriously doubt that he'll take more than a dozen...

No, he said we don't develop players.

And post-up offense isn't the emphasis now that it was then. It's unfair to compare eras in only one direction. Okafor was a better post player, Clingan a better passer/facilitator. Okafor was better, but the question is closer than most here think.

1) Bird. How could you be a kid in the 80's in New England and not list him first? 2) David Robinson -- don't know why, but liked him from the moment he came in the league. One of the most underrated players ever, and he'd be incredible in today's game as a rim runner and protector. 3) Dirk...

Yet according to some he hasn't gotten an opportunity . . .

Worked for the town senior services department for 2 years starting at 15. Then pro shop at Glastonbury Hills.

Uh, no.

Liam looks like a different player from the guy we had at the end of the year. Pretty obvious that he was hurt more than anyone let on.

The nightly walk to Gosman’s is probably my favorite childhood memories. Sadly, the old man just passed away, and the kids will probably sell it. They have wanted to for years.

There were definitely red flags, but he was a defensible hire at the time (though I'll point out that I am on record here as not wanting him). Pasqualoni was a monumentally uninspired decision. Low energy and the end of his prior tenure strongly indicated that the game had passed him by...

Biggest issue is that the projected WC lineup hasn't played together at all under Poch, and likely won't until kickoff next June.
