He seems to play the same position as Ross. :confused: How's that for clearing things up

Almost every shot in that clip was this kid working for a shot with the ball in his hands like Bouknight had to do here before we had a true offensive scheme. If he shot 42% from deep this way, he would probably be sensational with an offense that got him open shots.

Where was this reported? Diarra's own interview statements last thursday said he hadn't decided but expected to by the end of the week. To my knowledge that time has come and gone without a public statement.

247 ranks the portal players. I skimmed thru 350. There are many top 100 recruits in their class that are 200 to 350 in the portal. Given all the underclassmen that have been drafted from each class, and all the players not in the portal, it speaks to the inexactness of rankings.

I don't believe you

Talk about changing the goal posts to prove a point. @boog204 originally said he settles on an 8 man rotation by the start of Big East and then you seek to prove the point by stating how many minutes Diarra played in the Final Four. For the season Alleyne 39 GP 17.9min Joey 38GP...

We had a full on 9 man rotation just 1 year ago when Diarra, Clingan, Joey, and Alleyne all played significant roles off the bench. Plus there are always games missed due to injury and illness where we need to go deeper in the bench. He isn't stuck on 8 players and does vary by season. When...

Amazing that this staff is so tight lipped that a visit like this is already arranged and all our sleuthing had barely decerned that we had been one of the programs on the list that had reached out. Ever since the Dylan Cardwell ruse. (I'd still like to understand the story around that...

The objective has to be to put the best team possible on the court and let the chips fall where they may. I think a team with 4 guards, 5 forwards, and 3 centers is about what you want in any year, with a 13th player being an extra in any of the categories. They have to expect competition. I...

I don't really disagree except we can also point to 2014 with 2 undersized guards, no all american frontcourt players, and we still won it all. It just means it isn't automatic to be an odds on favorite all year. Giffey & Daniels were the type of guys that would fit this run we have now...

I saw Borges indicating that Diarra was expected to stay but may have missed Diarra himself making that commitment. I may have missed Fanta reporting that affirmation.

Thoughts have been expressed in many threads so I thought it might be useful to have a dedicated thread to minimize sidetracking threads on individual recruits. We currently have 9 players Guards: Diarra, Nowell, Ball Frwds: Stewart, Ross, Abraham Ctrs: Johnson, Reed, Singare...

The guy on the court was calling the game. In the women's game it was the only announcing in most of the first half that was audible on the youtube stream, but may have been intended for the crowd.

I'm guessing Cliff

The East Hartford Yale kid to USC (Knowling?)

Interesting. I followed your link to jordanbrandclassic.com and get the complete writeup. I google and hit the link to Jordanbrandclassic.com and get the same site url but it has none of that writeup, just the image above it. I'm taking a mulligan. Thanks

This is an outreach for better sleuths than me. I'd like to watch men and women tomorrow but information seems as tough to get as a secret scrimmage. I google and follow links and can't even authoritatively determine the times. It says 1pm in one location, 4pm in another, and 6pm in another...

FYI In the portal listing regarding Roumoglou, Seydou Traore is transferring from Manhattan, was at Our Savior in NY, and is from France. 6'7 215lbs. I'd be hard pressed at the coincidence if they are not closely related. This suggests the family likely has much more direct insight to ncaa...

Besides being listed on the roster as a forward, and exclusively playing in the frontcourt in high school, what causes you to believe Ross is expecting non-garbage time minutes at the guard position? I agree he is agile enough, has size to match up against tall shooting guards, and was an...

Excellent

I understand being short ball handlers when we basically only had Gaffney to spell RJ Cole. On this roster, Ball is capable at least as a combo guard, and Stewart had the ball in his hands from end to end on his AAU team and would surprise you with his handle. The early posts about Stewart...

Reed's commit reminds me how far Hurley has come as a coach over the past couple of years. When Clingan committed it was questionable if Hurley was going to be flexible enough to abandon the high hedge defense with a player that didn't fit the mold of playing that way. Hurley had tried to put...

That particular event and my having the exact same thoughts were the first thing that comes to mind in this thread.

In the clips against 'big cliff', he dwarfs cliff who I absolutely have never coveted. Goldin or Wolf were my first choices, but Reed checks a lot of boxes, especially size and power in the post. It's tough after being spoiled the past 2 years with Donovan & Adama, but that is a standard that...

Arkansas with a $5 million nil kitty and none of it spent yet

They would be my preseason pick because I think Flagg is so good he can compensate for coaching weakness. On the other hand, I agree with other posters that an older more experienced team with quality coaching might trip them up. Thats why they play the games.

Easy to pick out Alex. Which is your son? This has all been a good ride for you. First was the satisfaction that a person like myself would pick out and love Alex enough to advocate for him to be a husky. Then the satisfaction that so many Big East and other teams would offer, with the...

I thought the 'list' was who had reached out, rather than his list. I also thought there was some posts that were positive. I didn't interpret the threads as precluding us.

Do we also get to claim a share of the Big Ten Title after knocking off Northwestern, Illinois, Purdue?

Essentially 25% of all championships against a field of hundreds of challengers. With Nova, Cuse, and including Louisville, teams with Big East credentials have won 40% of the tournaments in the last 25 years, plus Georgetown knocked on the door.

I'm not going to win Nuzzi's pool with any of the prior predictions. UConn 78-Purdue 62 or UConn 76 - Purdue 65 are much better scores :)

Essandoko looks fine to me. With bulk and an occasional 3, that is just what we need to compliment our returning centers. He seems poised with the ball and puts it on the floor. With experience vs Ky, Seton Hall, Dayton etc I don't see why we can't do well with him. The second set of clips...
