    I don't blame Al for much he just doesn't know any better yet.

    I'm guessing one of the upperclassmen will not start next game. But they will play because as you say they have too. Not many other options.

    Don't feel sorry for Hartman, if you do feel sorry for him, then do it because he is not getting into some players behinds because their not playing hard. We need a senior leader & so far our leaders are the ones screwing up the most.

    I'm pretty sure Mark Richt left the cupboard a little more stocked for Smart than Crean did for Miller. Also didn't Richt get hired immediately after getting fired? Crean had to go into TV that should tell you something.
  6. Bossi is from Kansas City and I believe I read went to Kansas. Also from Rabby on the other site, he said that it sounds like Bossi got his info from Drew who is telling people that Vandy & KU are out in front of IU. Self could have had a bad home visit but they are the top Adidas school.
  7. We were up 63-59 with 11:39 left in the game. Coach K got on the refs and then the next 8 fouls were on us. That was per Gregg Doyal article in the star. 8 fouls in a row is a little much. Also first time since 96 that we have gone 3 games in a row with under 10 turnovers per game. Future is bright.
  8. Sounds very serious and soon too. They want the good high school players to go straight to the G-league then moved up to the NBA.
  9. If they change the one and done rule like Wojo & Evan Daniels were tweeting about last night it won't matter where Romeo goes. He will probably be playing for the Kings or some other awful NBA team instead of Indiana or Vandy.
  10. I thought last night was the first time this season he has put in effort IMO. His turnovers have been just terrible so far this season. I have been really disappointed in his & Newkirk leadership. Newkirk -21 & Johnson -19 last night when they were on the floor.
  11. Well we all should hope that he turns out like an all time great like Ivan
  12. Now that you say that and I get my face 2 inches from the screen I think you might be correct. Good I think were going to need him.
  13. Seeing Juwan sit there in warmups without practice gear on doesn't look like a good sign.

    My Way Too Early Opinion on this Season/Team

    On one hand as nice as they come. Always how are you doing? How is your son, wife? Things like that. On the other hand, he was gods greatest gift to basketball. He knew it all and don't try to tell him anything.

    He was worried about way too many other things than a practice schedule. I was told that one of the first things Colin asked Coach Miller when deciding about whether to come back or not was will there be a practice schedule. The next day when he came into the locker room there was a schedule of the next week's events on Colin's locker.

    My Way Too Early Opinion on this Season/Team

    When the officials were asked to show up the players had already been going for over an hour, hour an half. First time I ever was there it was so weird to officiate 10 players, 4 or 5 managers with boxing gloves on hitting offensive players. Do you call a foul? I understand he is wanting the players to become tougher but there were no parameters in what was a foul or not a foul. A manager hit a player so hard it knocked him down. Before I could call a foul, Crean comes running over yelling that's travel you have to be stronger than that.

    The language is nicer. I'm not old enough to have been at one of Coach Knight's practices but remember going to the open scrimmages with my dad and hearing words that weren't used at my house.

    Cool. It is pretty well known how Crean was. It's frustrating to get that text asking you to leave your job to go officiate practice in the middle of the day instead of just having a weekly schedule like we have now.

    One thing I know for sure because I have seen it with my own eyes is now that games have started Coach Miller has already started shortening practices. They go just as hard but they are shorter practices due to playing games. Coach Miller puts more focus on using video to teach the kids. He will use a 6-minute clip to show a player 4 minutes of what he is doing wrong and 2 minutes of how he is doing it right. He does this individually with each player. Crean never did any of that. He wasn't organized enough to do something like that. He didn't tell players, coaches or officials when the practice was that day till around noon the day of practice. Just a text saying can you be here at 2 for practice. These kids have never practiced or been around someone as organized as Coach Miller. It's just totally different and going to take time to adjust too. They will either adjust, buy in or they won't be here next season.
  20. He said he was going to share some things later but yes he hinted that himself & Evan Daniels were misled by Winston.
  21. Do you think he is trying to make us look bad to get Romeo? Winston still mad that Bob Knight never offered? IDK but no way we were 4th.
  22. Holy Cow!!! I'm absolutely stunned by him saying this. There might be some hard feelings somewhere.
  23. I don't feel good about it at all anymore. I thought if we got DG than it was likely we got Romeo so the rebuild would go quicker. Romeo can't help us rebuild by himself. And the rebuild is real that's for sure. I told people in here after watching practice that we need to slow down expectations.
  24. On a college and professional level yes they are. All SEC games are on ESPN, plus NBA is on ESPN part of the time. That what I meant when I said they needed them
  25. Believe me they need ESPN a lot more than ESPN needs DG or his family.
