Team Fall Activity

[HuskyWarrior611]

Think we may have something here if he continues to get stronger. I think he’s suppose to be 7’?

Last year he seemed too weak to get above the rim at the time. But he seems to get up a little easier in these videos. If he can be that lob threat and have some strong post moves he could be a valuable contributor down the road.

Also being a big talker as a center is a really really valuable skill! Have to communicate back there.

Unrelated but falls in Fall activity.

Got a seat at 10/2/24 Jersey City Sports HoF Dinner and inductions. Seat at the Hurley family table as both Bobby and Danny are being inducted next Wed evening. Will post pics after.

There it is. The first prediction for Ball to start. Funny he used an Ollie reference in there too lol

Definitely noteworthy - and not surprising from my end.

The Moore podcast was interesting as he stated two things Ball needed to improve on:

Ball handling
Passing

Hopefully he’s gotten some of that nailed in early practices.

Moore furthermore raved about McNeeley, 6’8” and him just a dog. Without saying as much, sees him as OAD. Safe to say he’s going to start at this point as just too talented not to.

Compared Stew to Caron, a poor man’s version.

I know some of this was shared somewhere else but got buried, and definitely some interesting first hand tidbits. Didn’t have a whole lot to say about the new transfers.

I was curious, so I looked up OAD and the internet says it means "Original Animation Disk". Why would Coach Hurley see him as that?

I think our trend of 2nd half dominance is going to continue for as long as the coaching staff remains intact. Twelve got dogs who’ve known nothing but Championship culture since we first started recruiting them. The rest of the field may still be playing catch-up.

But is the excitement for Ball palpable?

I'm here for a Solo Ball breakout. That's going to add another layer to starting lineup arguments on the Boneyard

It’s looking like he’s going to be that starting 2 guard and one of the players the team depends on. Which is part of my wish lol

Great to hear. I agree, kid is going to be something. Long and athletic.

It would let Diarra move to a 6th man role which is perfect for him, so I hope it happens

Didn’t know where else to put this article.

Nice write-ups on Karaban and Mahaney. The writer, who is familiar with Mahaney’s past performances against the Zags, reiterates that the UConn’s uptempo system is a perfect fit for Mahaney to thrive in.

From the article above, speaking on Mahaney:

After two years at St. Mary’s, Mahaney has found a new home better suited to his reckless, relentless playing style.
Mahaney is exactly the type of point guard Hurley loves: he pushes the pace, attacks unpredictably off the dribble, and isn’t afraid to hoist questionable shots from deep (often with devastating accuracy at the worst possible moments for opponents). Who does this sound like, Tristan Newton?

Youssef looks much stronger, he seems to be following the same sort of trajectory as SJ, looking much better his 2nd year here, developing into a much more serious player. Love to see it.
