November General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

St. John's has definitely made me hate them very quickly.

Oats is Harley’s buddy, yes?

Oats coached with Bobby at U Buffalo and was the HS coach of one of the RI players Dan recruited (forgot which guy, Matthews?). So yes, he's tight with the Hurleys.

I once sat next to him at a youth soccer game (his kid played) and he did not lift his head once from his phone. 2 hours of a constant stream of texts and his responses.

The life of a coach is basically gladhanding 12 hours a day.

When Fanta and Marshall talked last night about Hurley not responding to texts during the season, I was like: THAT'S what I would want if I were an AD. Otherwise there's no time left in the day.

Yeah, EC Matthews at Romulus. Oats was looking to get into college coaching and Danny had him talk to Bobby when he left URI to coach Buffalo.

I really liked Acaden Lewis and Meleek Thomas…but man, I LOVE Acuff. I didn’t realize it during the recruitment, but he is awesome, tough, smart.

That’s what I remembered. I just didn’t want to misquote the player.
 
The absolute millisecond I compliment Acuff he loses the ball

Rough stretch for Acuff - and he got baited into a 3 point foul. In classic Cal style, frehmen Thomas/Acuff took 31 of Ark's 56 shots. While talented, you do wonder how it builds the locker room when the two frosh are given green light like that. Karter Knox, also a projected firsr rounder, came off the bench and got 1 shot. Cal can't help himself but to simply hand over the reigns to his burgers boys right out of the gates.

Let me proof check what I send to make sure I saying nothing that insults that nancy Inyatkin.

It’s weird, I was rooting for Michigan State to win because we beat them. But that was an exhibition and of course has zero impact on any kind of metrics. Only the court of public opinion and convoluted transitive property theories (i.e., we’re better than Arkansas)

Mich St hangs on vs Ark, I was expecting Arkansas to look better than that.

They’re talented as heck. I think they looked how I expect with a few frosh and Calipari vs Izzo at MSU. They made more mistakes, but they’ll be good.
 
Watching Gonzaga and OU and wow, Pack is in his 6th year at age 24. Dude has done a wonderful job of cashing in for a college ball player with no real NBA aspirations.

Graham Ike still has eligibility left, seems like dude has been in college forever
