Yeah, that angle brings back memories. 1 little thing in there, they’ve been working on Conerway’s shooting footwork. Watch the Troy video from last year and he just struggled with balance because his feet were so close together and he was never gonna be consistent with that. The 2 in this video are better and the 2nd one is absolutely what they want. If that kid can just get to mid-30’s so guys have to respect him he’s gonna create some problems.

Kind of jarring when that hits, isn’t it? For me it was Dajuan Wagner. I was in college at the same time as Milt Wagner and when I was 1st told his son was a thing I may have hyperventilated. And now his freaking grandson is at Arkansas.

That kid has had a giant last 4-5 months. He’s been good everywhere. With Allmond and Diane both there it’s tough to imagine someone, presumably Kenny at minimum, won’t be there tomorrow.

Sounds like Billy Gillespie may be out at Tarleton St. One of the all time career flameouts.

Would think they would take both no problem because Mingo really wants to play on ball and County is strictly a 2. But if it was either/or that’s not even close. Mingo’s a lottery kid.

Commits to UConn.

One of the best fan pods I’ve ever heard. Maybe the best. I wonder if they can be recruited?

That’s right. Forgot about Pitt. Argh, old man brain.

I believe you’re correct on 1st commitment straight from HS. Bates and Reneau wer top 30ish kids who de-committed elsewhere. The highest rated kid since Langford was Hood-Schifino who was in the 25 range.

His birthday’s 10/13. He said some time ago that was going to be the day. We shall see.

Daddy Ponds is awesome. That guy keeps every receipt.

https://x.com/kylerstaley/status/1973125681098674448 Not like we don’t know it, but DDV really is just the anti-Woodson. It’s like he asks Scott what Woody would have done or said in a situation and consciously does the most antithetical thing he can think of.

Imagine you’re certainly right on the perimeter ball pressure being the issue. The most undervalued trait in scouting kids, at least to me, is lateral movement and change of direction. All the high ball screen actions, all the zoom derivatives, if you can’t move laterally and maintain hand discipline they will hunt you and you are screwed.

Ogden would have been a pretty tough pull given that his dad is in on Miller’s staff at UT. But Scott probably stings.

Top 100 ‘26 combo forward Julius Avent commits to Michigan State.

Maryland G Rakease Passmore, former KU player and IU offerree, out for the year with an Achilles. It’s a straight up epidemic. Never used to happen and when it did it was always older players.

Just saw the trailer for the new Marc Maron doc, “Are We Good?” Like Maron a lot, but was on the fence about it because I thought it might be a little rough watching 90 mins about his significant other passing and rebuilding his life. Then I saw the trailer and the music playing over it is Farewell Transmission by the great Jason Molina.and Songs: Ohia. That is literally God saying, “D, you need to see this.” Sometimes the universe gives you no choice.

This is Adkins actual Twitter feed. Certainly feels like kind of a tell.

Was told the same thing by the friend who bought our tickets for Baylor. Row 1 balcony were like $90 and last row lower bowl were $160 or some such. Kind of nuts.

Wherever he lands I’m gonna sort of follow this kid just for my own curiosity. Saw him play twice live and a couple of games streamed last year and I just don’t get it. He’s not untalented, I just don’t see what’s special. He has a really deliberate stroke and needs space to get it off. He’s really physical but he doesn’t have a particularly quick 1st step so he’s constantly playing through guys because he can’t get a shoulder ahead. He plays hard, he moves and cuts well, he doesn’t stop the ball, which his McDAA teammate Isaiah Harwell did all the time, he competes on defense. But a lot of kids do that. I am just as happy with Moody as I would be with County, probably more so because Moody has PG traits and County doesn’t. But he has a really good list so I guess I’m missing something.

Would be pretty surprised if it’s not KU. From all indications he’s been their #1 big and they were at basically all his stuff this summer whereas they weren’t with Taylor. Maybe after 2 years of the Hunter Dickinson experience Self has sworn off jumbo bigs.

https://x.com/RowlandRIVALS/status/1972669022907846821 This is pretty interesting. I wonder how many other schools in the SEC/B1G/Big 12 have more ticket revenue from basketball than football? Wouldn’t think there are any because Rupp is so much bigger than most arenas. Also explains why they don’t play Maui or Atlantis-type events if they’re more dependent on home game ticket revenue than everyone else. Got to be pretty embarrassing for UKFB if they’re the only top conference school in that boat.
