Tarris Reed stuff

Hysterical they have Ike in front of Zubi & Tarris. I've yet to watch him play against a good team and do much. Back 3 of top ten all frosh.

Tarris is going to have some fun head to head matchups this year as a number of top 5's on this list: Zubi, Bidunga, Ivisic.

Cannot wait for CBM to graduate already. Dude will be 26 in Jan, ridiculous. Richie Saunders is the ripe age of 24.

Apparently Painter talking some smack already saying this team has best chance of winning it all.

Does that mean there are 1048 better defensive players than Solo? I know he’s not Castle but is he really THAT bad?

1049th eh? I hope the coaching staff shows him this. Call me naive but I'd bet Ball will be a lot better than that this season.

To be fair it's forecasting massive improvement on defense, last year he was 1531st

He was horrible defensively. Layup drills when he was in isolation.

Yeah, he was that bad. And it's why anyone thinking Solo is likely going to get drafted this year, think again. There is a high probability he's back for his senior year. It's easy to get drunk on his 3 pointers if you don't see the gaps in the rest of his game.

It's also good we have some insurance policies this year in the event his defense doesn't improve - we had zero last year. We'd put Mahaney in there and get even worse defensively. Not to say he doesn't get significant minutes at the two because of his offense, but it's always great to have insurance just in case. We can play Silas or Mullins there under certain rotations.

Solo? He factors in defense.

Tarris is there, click on it.

I expect his D to be better and with his spectacular shooting and offense he belongs on the page but time will tell. One of the top guys on a top 5 team.

“One of the most talented players I’ve ever played with” from the guy that shared a backcourt with Adama Sanogo is reassuring

Skies the limit for TR. I'm stoked to see what he puts out there this year. He's capable of being the best center in the country if it all falls into place. Head to head against the best center in the country last year (Zubi), he outplayed him.
 
I get the whole "defense" thing but this is nerd ball. There are not 108 players better than Solo Ball. Full Stop. Luka doesn't play defense either. There are a bunch of elite players who don't play defense. And at the college level Solo Ball is an elite offensive weapon. Through the first 15 or so games of the season he was in the high 40's in 3 point percentage on around 7 attempts a game. That is absurd. And he's only expected to get more versatile on offense. I'm not looking to Solo Ball for defense. I expect Braylon and Silas to lead the charge in perimeter defense. Solo just needs to shoot the cover off the ball and get to the rim at a higher rate. Defense schmefense
 
Reibe is getting quite an education trying to defend in practice! Hope Reibe is honing his offensive skills as well

Houston is loaded and must be super hungry. $t. John’$ has none in pre season top 30 here……so we have 2 top 30 seniors and 2 top 30 freshmen… sorta…Go Huskies!

It's not just defense. He doesn't attack the rim, doesn't draw fouls, doesn't rebound and doesn't pass the ball very well. He's a really good shooter from 3. So far, he's not a very complete basketball player. I truly hope that changes, but he's no Ben Gordon.
