    1st recruit Hurley calls?

    Vlad seems to be the most offensively skilled big to go portalling. Might not be a bad idea to also reach out to Adou Thiero for great D, physicality at the wing and 4. He could have a role as a connector, ball-handler similar to Steph.

    ACC votes to add Stanford, Cal, SMU: Conference presidents approve expansion to 18 schools

    I assumed the thru-line here is time away from classes, study hall, etc. From what I recall, long road trips focused on game prep and didn't leave much time for studying.

    SoCal Folks - How are you preparing for the great Tropical Storm of 2023?

    Moved my daughter in to her apartment @ CSU-Long Beach over the weekend. Initially LBC was considered a prime storm target, the heavy stuff shifted eastward toward Vegas so we only experienced heavy rain, and that didn't begin until Sunday. We drove back to the Bay just before things began to...

    Need to shake things up

    Even With The Same Lineup, we win that game by six or more if Adama makes his layups. I recommend about 30 minutes of Dejuan Blair finishing footage for Adama with particular attention of the use of butt and shoulders. Anything to get him to have greater confidence with his finishes, and maybe...

    St. John's Scouting Report

    I'm with @Orc. Sanogo tends to bounce back from sub-par games with strong performances. He also likes a challenge -- evidenced by Creighton game. From the Johnnie's games I watched, Soriano has become a different player. He's an athletic big with really nice touch 18 feet and in. He's dangerous...

    2nd Favorite Squad Besides UConn?

    Spent early years outside of Ct. and rooted for UCLA probably b/c of TV exposure. Became a big fan of the Larry Brown-Rod Foster (Ct.) team that lost in '80 to Darrell Griffith and Louisville. UCLA had some studs on that squad besides Foster, including Vandeweghe, Mike Sanders who played in the...

    Springs vs Mandeldove

    Springs is fairly polished offensive player and a probable starter or key bench piece for a mid-major, i.e., Rhode Island, St. Louis. Mandeldove seemed to be much more of a project offensively with size and wingspan as his best assets along with some decent timing for shot-blocks.

    Alleyne

    When you have someone who shoots 50 plus percent from mid-range and has the three in the tool-kit you'd better believe pin-downs will be run for mid range shots. It simply depends. A blanket statement about not drawing up a play for a mid-range shot without factoring probability of making shot...
