Borges tweet on Castle

I half agree. I think he has a great mind, but he also gets too much credit for debating idiots like SAS and KPerk.

Also, his whole virtue signaling after the 2nd Ja gun incident rubbed me the wrong way.

He is good in the context of ESPN personalities I guess. He is basically the living embodiment of NBA twitter and to me, that is grotesque. The Michael Kay controversy was so disingenuous and I would have lost respect for him if I had any. Plus he thinks dudes rode dinosaurs.

I don’t even need practice footage. Give me some shooting drill, a game of knockout, anything basketball related. It’s branding malpractice to not have footage of these guys available.

Exactly!! Give us something, we’re fiending right now

J.J. sucks for sure, but the suckitude of ESPN is so great, that a sports personality capable of even brief moments of lucidity can come off like Howard Cosell by comparison.

It just keeps getting better and better. I have not read through the complete thread, but other than UConn who do you think JJ’s other two schools are? One has to be North Carolina I think. Is Kansas the other. Yup I know it old news But Who is Now a no doubt about it blueblood. No more arguing we are one of the best four or five programs over the last 25 years and other than maybe Kansas we are the only one that is currently trending up. And Redick’s reaction confirms everyone knows this fact! Thank you Dan Hurley!

He lists them in a subsequent clip. UConn, Maryland and UNC.

What's the 3rd school Redick is talking about for his hate list? The 2nd one is obviously UNC. Is it Kentucky?

I was thinking Kansas. Other than us they are really the only blue blood trending up. Kentucky is going to have to show me. Can Cal still relate enough to the 5 stars he piles up. They always have talent but his ability to turn that talent into a team may no longer exist. NC I don’t think Brown is the answer as HC. Like him as a person but he just may not have the “it” factor to be an elite coach.

I finally watched some video on Stephon Castle; he is quite a player. Lots of skills and poise, and he plays under control. I can see why he is such a highly ranked recruit. How he plays as a freshman will play a huge part in how our season goes. Looking at his game, he should be good right outa the gate. Can't say that about too many players.

This year’s team has the potential to be better than last year’s team. Crazy but true. Karaban, Clingan, and Newton will all be much better. Castle is potentially a better freshman than Clingan or Karaban were last year. The bench should be much deeper this year than last. Cam could potentially put up the same numbers that Hawkins did. Hmmmm

Ceiling is high, but the core is younger and we have a LOT of production to replace.
Spencer is a great piece, but he’s not the same player as Hawkins. Jackson’s impact on the team, particularly defensively, was so understated. That’s not going to be easy to replace. And Sanogo was an absolute monster in the low post. We are going to have to run different sets for Clingan because he doesn’t have nearly the footwork, low post moves, and footwork that Sanogo has. But Clingan has some abilities that Sanogo never can have.

Again, ceiling is high for this team but I wouldn’t be shocked if it takes some time for this team to find its groove and develop leadership and chemistry. Our OOC schedule is a GAUNTLET compared to last season, too.

Oh yea, we’re the national champs. We’re gettin everyone’s absolute best shot for 40 minutes. Hope this team can rise up to the pressure. I think Danny and co will have them ready to go come Feb/March.

They were brutal when we went for an FB game. They insisted we take Randy Edsall back with us.

Very well said and I agree with you. Leadership is potentially going to be an issue with this team. Karaban and clingan seem like quiet leaders. Maybe Newton will try to lead or maybe Castle will. We shall see but as you said, the ceiling is very high for them.
