What's Worse?

Fans in general don't bother me too much. I strongly dislike people whose behavior shows poor sportmanship. Noisily bad winners and bad losers alike irritate me, and I've encountered those kinds of fans across the range of teams - including NU unfortunately. I find that people as a group generally suck, but when I get to know them individually I often have better experiences.

Anecdotally, the best fans I've dealt with recently were the Boise State folks sitting with me in the nosebleeds last March.

TRE SINGLETON COMMITS TO NU!

Impressions on watching him play 2 games, in the same day:

(-)
  • Lacks traditional speed and hops.
  • Has problems on defense as a consequence of slow feet

(+)
  • Is strong as a motherf'er and knows how to use his body to create space. Like strong as in being strong enough as a freshman to bang with more experienced players
  • Good foot work, bit Ryan Young but with ability to work it also facing the basket
  • Fairly good ability to shoot from the outside, stretches the floor as a 4/5
  • Though slow and not bouncy, which limits his first step explosiveness, has fairly quick release and movement

This was probably a guy we landed because we developed the relationship before other programs noticed him. While matching the NIL competition. Well done.

TRE SINGLETON COMMITS TO NU!

Wow! That's some great news!!

Sought out a couple highlight clips on this kid. He looks like he already has a BIG body, but despite that size, he has really nice handles and a smooth jumper out to 3-point range. He also seems to have great footwork in the paint.

The one thing that concerned me at first was in the entire six-minute AAU highlights tape I watched about him, he didn't dunk the ball once -- even on break-aways. It didn't make sense how someone that big wasn't dunking. But rest assured, I found other clips where he clearly can get up and dunk the ball with athleticism. Will be fun to watch.

(I sure hope he breaks the Chris Collins' Stretch 4 curse)
