  • We have 4 freshmen coming in. Realistically, we cannot sign more than one more freshmen without risking being in this same position again in 4 years. We could use a really good JUCO transfer and maybe a grad transfer.

      I thought Rod ran out of eligibility and is now playing for the Knicks?

    Could he be great? Absolutely. But what on Earth did you see from him this season to think that he's capable of playing significant minutes in an AAC game?

        Coach Marshall said he was really talented, he just needed to get tougher and meaner. You can coach toughness, it harder to coach raw talent. So it is possible he could take a big jump between this and next season.

            I think they were referring to Asbjorn.

            Dude was referring to Miitgard, but Wheat was referring to both Poor Bear and God Bear.

        • It's going to be tough after losing 6 seniors and our best player. I'd feel much better if we had Landry coming back along with Mr. Lomax coming here but that's how the cookie crumbles I guess. Landing Akinjo and convincing a solid grad transfer to come her would be awesome, but even then I think this next season is going to be a dog fight. Every time it looks like the team is going to drop off, 3G finds a way to maintain a level of excellence. We might see a lot more angry 3G like we did in the past, but this team will still maintain a high level.

            I think around 345 other teams would wish for something similar.

              Clarifying that almost every DI team wishes they had four players of the Ron, Fred, Cle and Cotton caliber. I think 345 teams hope we never have that again.

          • This has to be the most interesting offseason in recent history*

            *As far as team news goes. Excluding the move to the AAC.

                Paul does a nice job. Interesting recap of end of game scenarios.

                • I don't mind all of the transfers as none were going to make an impact. Better for everyone.
                  Although I was one of SHJ's toughest critics I'm not ready to kick him to the curb as he showed
                  he has lots of potential. He could very well start. I think he has higher potential upside than MM.
                  I thought MM played very soft this season and never seemed to blend into the offense. Hope he
                  toughens up and makes me eat crow. Despite all the set backs I am as excited as ever about
                  next season. I think ES will play SF and give us a threat we didn't have there this past year. CM
                  could be good, as well.

                    SHJ was at least a reliable ball handler. That's been a rare commodity the last several years.

                • I've never watched the summer scrimmages, but would imagine when FVV and RB were here, they tried to start teaching our stuff/plays to the new guys. Can Austin, SHJ, RB, AM and Duff do that or are we going to be way behind the curve by the time practices start? Maybe this belongs in the leadership thread, but I think Austin is the most likely candidate to take on this role.

                  No matter how skilled the new guys are, if they don't get some direction from our veterans during the summer, we'll have to hope they are quick learners or round into shape by conference season.

                  HCGM and his staff will earn their paychecks this fall.

                    He just gave it away by driving and having an opponent big snatch his "shot" out of mid air.

                      at least he can drive it. Our other guys couldn't get to the hole like SHJ, he just needs to learn how to protect he ball once he gets in there and stop lobbing up floaters for the big men to pick off.

                      Dan, lots of our guys can get there, but few can do anything once they're there.

                      btw, does having a shot blocked count as only a FGA or both a FGA and a turnover (assuming we lose possession) or just a turnover (losing possession)? If a blocked shot goes out of bounds, shooting team retaining possession, what are the statistical categories affected?
