Qudus Announcing Decision on the 30th

Sorry but while Ewing was a great player I never saw him as a big picture guy. Very solid low post player but the game has really moved to a more diverse game. Feels great but might be less filling. This has become a much different game. I think Q might become better at UCONN. However I would want a sig on a selfie from the big guy. Patrick was a great.

Yeah that's why he spent 15 years in the NBA as an assistant. He has had a court side seat on the evolution of the game. Not saying he is or will be a great coach but you have to get something being a assistant for all that time. Probably a student of the game. He definitely put his time in his trade.

Man, the first one I posted about Qudus is based on nothing whatsoever. I have ZERO inside info on that. Just not feeling great. That and a couple of bucks gets you half a cup of coffee these days.
 
I’d love to get him but a resurgent Georgetown with Ewing as coach has to be attractive to a lot of big men. We’ve got great coaches and I think we have a great chance, but obviously GTown would be intriguing too. Hopefully, our coaches really click with him.

Wait. Did you ever even see Patrick play? He evolved from just D to the solid/great low post player you describe to the second coming of Bob McAdoo as he become a true C with a deadly corner shot from 20' to 25'. Far far from one dimensional.

Cobb is a major liability defensively. Like he doesn't even know what to do. I think Carlton gets it a little more mentally, and it just a step slow. Layups uncontested. Their bigs just going straight up on post ups. Yuck.

Worst frontcourt in the country?

I've yet to see a worse one.
 
Needs to be our top top priority. Promise him minutes if you have to, do whatever you need to do to secure the commitment. A defensive presence in the paint is our #1 need especially if we’re to continue to press.

He's our starting center. If he wants to play 25+ he can obviously do that here.

I don't mean to beat a dead horse but I think it was evident that there wasn't any coherent plan in general.

Both guys are very talented, and it's nice to have 1 tiny crafty PG but you're right, I dont know how they'd coexist. Their games wouldnt really complement each other.

You mean like Napier and Boatright?

Maybe it's residual shell shock, but my gut is telling me Couliably to Pitt...and Qudus to Georgetown.

Hurley's plan seemed to be to concentrate on a small group of recruits who he liked for his system. It seemed to work like a dream for shooting guard and point guard, took a little time for power forward, then derailed to this point with small forward and center.
Was that a mistake? Because now it seems we have no small forward backup plan that's been hinted at here and it looks as if we're really scrambling, a la KO, for a center. Hopefully the coaches can give off a calm and collected vibe and not look panicked at this critical stage.

Ewing grinded away as an assistant coach in the NBA for 15 years. He wasn't handed anything, but rather has put a ton of time in to get better as a coach.

Far be it for me to defend Georgetown, but I was a huge Ewing fan and admire the fact that after making millions in the NBA he wasn't above being an assistant for 15 years before getting his shot at his Alma mater.

I know Larry Bird was a fan of Patrick's.

Why do I have the feeling if the good guys win this battle that I’m gonna need to change my user name?

You mean like the back-court of Adams and Gilbert that is similarly dysfunctional? KO's biggest recruiting problem was roster construction. He brought in guys that weren't really complimentary to each other and then struggled to find lineups that worked.

or Bazz and Boat?

Bazz played a clear SG role and backup PG when we had Kemba. Then Boat did the same when Bazz started at PG. Both had that ability. Adams does not.

Now look at who is coming in. Gaffney, a tall PG about whom Hurley says 3 point shooting is what he does best. He will be fine playing off the ball alongside Gilbert at times.

Bouknight too at 6-4 or so. We have 3 guards in 97% of the time and they are 5'10, 6' and 6'1 they all need to be really good at most everything if you're going to play with that disadvantage. While they are all pretty good at something it's going to be a breath of fresh air in a year or 2 throwing out 3 guard with size who can pass over the defense and shoot over the defense without needing a ton of space. And these 2 coming in can get to the basket and finish due to size also. Hopefully they also can defend or willing to learn, willing to get stronger and stay healthy.

I assumed you were talking about height. Got it.

Honestly, Gilbert needs to start at SG and let Adams play point. Both Ollie and Hurley had this wrong. Even though he’s short, Gilbert is a solid spot up shooter. Height would help though.

He's saying that Boat and Bazz played alongside each other.

Surely Gilbert and Akinjo could have as well--but this is all hypothetical.

I don’t get ruing the loss of Akinjo.

I liked him a lot too, but the chances of him staying without KO seemed small.

Now not getting Xavier Johnson after he recommitted from Nebraska....that one stings. But I admit I have no idea what the story was there.

It's simply a reply to the idea that we dodged a bullet when Akinjo went to G'town because it would have meant dysfunction at the PG position. I don't buy it because you always need at least 2 PGs even if they are similar.

You know what really grinds my gears? This Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan with all those little outfits, jumping around there on stage, half-naked with your little outfits. Ya know? You're a... You're out there jumping around and I'm just sitting here with my beer. So, what am I supposed to do? What you want? You know, are we gonna go out? Is that what you're trying to - why why are you leaping around there, throwing those things all up in my, over there in my face? What do you want, Lindsay? Tell me what you want? Well, I'll tell you what you want, you want nothing. You want nothing. All right? Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone, and to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is - is just bogus.
