    We haven't seen RickConn's potential in games yet, either. But yet, I still hope to see Conner's!

            Always a good thing when coach gets mentioned with these other names.

                conner seems pretty talented for sure, but he doesn't have a shooters mentality at all. after his second missed shot, he's done for the night shooting the ball. maybe heair can coax it out of him.. we'll see.. but i'm not betting on it just yet.

                  How's the time to buy Conner while stock is low but before he breaks out.

                    i'll hold off on that gamble for a bit.

                    we'll see. two 1/2 years of d-1 and he's still not shooting the ball near enough. even kyle macy, whom i compare him to, skill wise, lit it up a bit at purdue as a freshman before he transferred to kentucky (and won a national championship in '78). he already seems kind of behind what we expected.. but nothing to do with a lack of talent.

                    now, shamet might be worth the stock. that's gonna go up, i think. super athletic, and nobody outside of here knows it.

                      This entire season coming up will be a gamble... And I'm betting on 3G3M to win

                        oh, i'll definitely go with that. the one time consensus national coach of the year might have another one or two in him. it's pretty obvious that the best is yet to come. he hasn't reached anything near his "sell by" date yet.

                        but, man, i wish frankamp would fire it up fearlessly.

                            He is probably working on the "system" and becoming a point guard and running the team within the system, rather than jacking up threes in the summer workouts. To say he doesn't have a shooter's mentality doesn't recognize his late-game heroic efforts in KU's NCAA games nor his entire HS carrer at North High.

                              by Carmine Carcieri, July 15, 2016



                              "The Battle 4 Atlantis (in the Bahamas) has molded into one of the top preseason tournaments in all of college basketball.

                                Huh? And a bear doesn't crap in the woods.

                                Edit: Oh, and by the way, Reaper -- what's this about St. John's being from a major conference?
