    Do you respect the Ivy League?

    I would tell you but Cappy would just delete yet another post of mine. #WaytoomanyRedactions

    Do you respect the Ivy League?

    Nope. Those ivies have lost their direction and lost my respect.

    Season Recap

    Similar but shorter right here. RS to learn D and the speed. Followed by bench rotation, then to start, then to be main player. And if there is a stumble along the way - transfer out.

    Season Recap

    Well, smith showed potential - like BB and Mart did in their first exposure. Mullins had a game or two — can he put it together? Then, as coaches, you have to have a feeling about what stauss and barkley bring.

    Season Recap

    Should not try to replace Boo. Barney is ready to step up and do more. So is Mart. Add another Berry three. Get more MN hugeness. Let Hunger start taking the 5 off the dribble - he has that in his set. He is a mobile C on O. The points are there to be replaced. Maintain the D.

    Season Recap

    Your idea reminds me of when Purdue had Swanson and that other tower. Definitely was a force to work around.

    Roster in review and the future

    I disagree a bit. I love we redshirted two frosh. If they stay, then I want them to get first bite for the extra minutes. Let the frosh run scout team and get plenty of D learning before pushing them into action. If we can get a serviceable PG then PG, Berry, BB, Mart and MN with backup ball...

    Our guy is in the portal: Malik Mack, Harvard

    We are a nerdy school…

    Final observations from 11 rows back

    Clingon can’t wander away from MN to block every shot taken or it becomes a Nicholbomb game. Hunger hasn’t shown that capability and Preston is short enough for Clingon to recover.

    +/- for the conclusion against UConn

    I hope we can all agree that if Smith hits the portal, it’s ok. He did great for NU by stepping up and over performing expectations and he deserves to get a scholarship somewhere if that’s important to him. He should be the least despised transfer ever - this conversation wouldn’t happen if he...

    +/- for the conclusion against UConn

    The portal changes that equation. If he is not recruited back with an offer, then he should hit the portal. Of course, we can recruit him from the portal too - but while competing with the world since every coach can call and talk to him at that point.

    +/- for the conclusion against UConn

    I think the better question is do we want Smith. You are correct, he came with no promises, also signed no commitment. No promises either way. Now, Smith’s stock has risen. He will definitely receive offers which could include academic schools like Stanford. The question, in my mind, is Smith...

    Bet he pays zero tuition. And every other player on his team and every other player in his conference are on equal footing. Being on athletic scholarship is a status. It’s something to be proud of - B1G scholarship athletes are top level athletes. S&D was my second sport - my original schollie...

    Roster in review and the future

    Has to do more with defender. The 4 and 5 are not usually ball stealers without fouling. Guards are better at takeaways. The three might or might not. So mart brings up the ball to either force immediate mismatch if a guard hangs back to defend and mart can pass over the top. If four keeps...

    Roster in review and the future

    I jumped on the Mart train because of what I saw a year ago. The flashes were there. Saw that from Smith. Saw some flashes from Hunger and Mullins. Saw nothing else. Next year - I expect Berry and MN back. And the staring four leaves a giant hole that smith is not positionally able to fill...

    Yup. Easily hotter than Simmons.

    I’ll even buy into a ten year contract if they pull this off
