Best of luck.... lock this dumpster fire of a thread please.
You could use some of these threads to teach whole semesters of social psych. I love how "trust the coaches" has evolved into a "support the troops" level bailout. Cam never put himself in a position to need a bailout lol. Just sayin.

I took that video to mean “Sigh, okay enough time to get one more…”

Was Hurley trying to tell us something with the message on the white board?

“Hard time create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
Weak men create hard times.”

I’ve been binging on to many spy shows…

I'm late to the party on this comment, but you're spot on. IQ through the roof for his age, good size, dynamite shooter, great culture fit. Doesn't turn the ball over, does everything else pretty well. Coachable. Winner.
Some analysts think McNeeley is closer to a top 5 freshman than a top 15 freshman.

I wouldn't worry about Mahaney's assist numbers much. He wasn't their PG and they run a super slow offense. The fact his A/TO ratio was solid is good.
Mahaney certainly was their point guard in our ncaa game that I just rewatched. The ball was in his hands all the time. Stats weren't different. 30+ min 2.0 assists Who was their point guard this year that changed his role?

From what I've watched he's a guard the way Cam is a guard. He's perfectly capable of leading possessions, but better suited to an off-ball role makong reads and getting shots off.

We may train him up to lead the team, but it will take some work.

Does he look 6 ft 3 to you? He seems smaller than that. My guess is he is actually between 6'1 and 6'2.

I'm hearing from my sources that Kentucky was all in on Brea from the start. They didn't want anyone else. We only got the guys they didn't want. They aren't bitter at all.
If you've seen their SB Nation site they tout how "Brea chose UK over the likes of UConn, Duke, etc." as if any of those others actually offered.

It seems we were in on Brea until AM declared for the portal and we wanted (and needed) AM because we needed a complete player more than a guy who is only a shooter.

How did UConn not offer him? Brea and Mahaney entered the portal a day apart from each other, CBB media has said that once Mahaney committed they were not gonna take Brea as well.

Would have been more fun if we helped Brea secure a larger NIL deal from Kentucky by playing along a little longer and not being so honest with him.

They've been a blue blood so long the color has faded to Indiana red.

Tate actually played really well for the Nets. Chuck Daly just hated his style (he literally said, “I don’t like his game”) and didn’t play him enough. Killed Tate’s career. He went on to be an absolutely deadly scorer in the CBA. His game became almost unrecognizable. I still believe Tate would have spent 10+years in the NBA if he’d been in a better situation.

Also, Tate's "teammate" Derek Coleman was still salty over Syracuse's losses to UConn and froze Tate out.

Tate was not an all-star or anything, but freaking Michael Adams and Dana Barros had 10-year careers in the league. Tate could have had that too, in a better situation.

Yeah Hurley even mentioned that in his recent interview in that Aidan was more of a complete offensive player that the staff felt they needed.

What do Michael Adams and Dana Barros have to do with him?

They didnt's play anything like him and they were a lot better than Tate.
