No way Sherrell is getting paid what Jeremiah Smith is getting paid. No way

reading some more on Sales... they actually let him play both ways last season, so he isn't a p*** ---- 56 tackles in 10 games. Made the state in the 100 (10.81), 2nd in the state in the 200 (and actually broke the state record in the pre lims), was part of the 4x1 team that won the state (as was Davion Chandler), Top 12 in the long jump, as well. Won the long jump at the MIC conference track meet Lists himself at 6'5 205 now

oh boy wait wait... do we have an announcement date on MS yet?

Who stated we don't have holes? You make s*** up to argue lol No one has misrepresented your viewpoint. It was just.... silly the entire time.

I just did... at the 1&5 we are absurdly better than we were last year, and at PG.... I think it's the best we've been since Yogi... I'm just happy to have the concerns we have now vs what we saw in games again P4 last season. I don't play the prediction/expectation game. I except to be able to compete in every game, make the tourney, as a 9 or better seed. That would be the floor. Realistically-- you thought we were pulling in PROVEN guys for spots 6-9? What world do you guys live in?

Collin had to do that because HP couldn't stay out of trouble and Emmitt Holt hit Devan Davis with a car. But.. people sliding over is in fact depth because you can insert Sisley at the 4, Harris at the 2/3. It's considerably than what we were doing last season lol

I guess I'm just confused on how we thought this would go. We thought the FR would be spots 11-13? Like we actually thought that? 2 kids rated top 100--- just won't see the floor at all/shouldn't be relied upon to offer depth? But, if we go from the issues we had last year to worrying about our 7th-9th spots--- that's measurable growth. Enright vs Burton Wilkerson vs Lindsay Dorn vs Mustaf DeVries vs Sherrell Alexis vs Yigi we're going to sit here and act like that isn't significant? Bench Conerway, Bailey, FR Sisley, Miles Bench SO Sisley, Harris, 3 FR Granted if you played a game bench vs bench--- it's probably relatively even--- but, it's not like we are taking out all 5 starters namely Sherrell/Yigi (both) ever. The bench wasn't near the issue as our top end talent was last season, specifically at the 1/5. people are going to question and pretend they know s*** know matter what lol.. it's easy to do on a computer with no skin in the game. I've not really mentioned an issue with that, though. I think realistically, we've added near the best we could... I really like the idea that all these guys can be back next year... I do hope we find another guy that's more 7th-11th... and not a clear 12th, 13th, as the last two are...

Then we suck at scouting, I guess.

"primary ball handler" a buzz word that doesn't mean a whole lot... Moody is going to play some point, so is Lindsay. That grouping, along with Burton, dwarfs--- Enright, Conerway. No serviceable bench big... ok. Sisley is a better rebounder, by a lot, than anyone we brought off the bench, by the end of the year, last season. But, we upgraded IMMENSELY at the STARTING 4/5. You could not make that case, no.

You mentioned the possibility of having a season like last year... I think being so significantly better at the 1/4/5 ensures that won't happen. I think top end talent is a bigger question mark than depth

The bold--- a lot of teams throughout history could say that. "virtually no depth" that would be assuming Karvala, Moody are non contributors.

Burton- Lindsay- Moody Lindsay- Harris-Moody Mustaf- Harris-Karvela-Sisley Sherrell-Sisley-Manhertz Yigi-Sherrell-Sokolov I would prefer another 4. I don't see any mins available 1-3. Did we actually think we were going to achieve that? I'm not convinced many teams, especially outside of the top 10, do have what you mentioned-- Harris, Sisley, and 3 FR-- backups wise. Why can't Sisley improve as LJ Cason did? Trent played about 50 mins more as a FR than LJ did. I think this team clearly body bags our group we had last year.

and the "I wanna get away", where that does work for some people... some it doesn't at all and they really struggle. I'm never living 5 hours from my kid haha... I'll buy a cheap RV and live in a van down by river, if I have to. Couldn't do it!

They aren't offering anything different money wise than we are. But I'm not living in Canada, so they can p*** off.... Florida offers--- let's talk business

Concur.. I just, idk, some kids just don't value what I value.... doesn't make either of us right, I guess. If I grew up in New Pal, Avon, Westfield.. Columbus.... and Indiana is recruiting me, meaning I get my entire family at EVERY game.... I can go home on a weekend for a home cooked meal, at times... my mom can do my laundry some. If I needed maintenance on my vehicle, I could use the same people as where I grew up, wouldn't have to switch DR/Dentists.. Look my FR year at college I was running a 104+ temp for like two days and thought I was gunna die--- my mom came and picked me up the fraternity house lol... she lived 30 minutes away. Call me a momma's boy, whatever, but that was nice... came home, slept for literally 3 days straight-- Fri, Sat, Sun... back in class on Monday. I think particularly at TE.

He doesn't. Ahhhh... yeah, I mean, if they allow SRs into that, then yes, he would. I didn't think they were going to.

FCS, right? I will say-- for all the complaints of the OOC last year--- Old Dominion finished ahead of a whole HOST of P4 schools-- Purdue, Northwestern, Wake Forest, Cinci, Arkansas, NC State, Miss St, Kansas, AZ ST, Florida, Boise St, Kentucky, Minnesota, Baylor, Rutgers, Maryland, Cal, UCF, Mich St, Wisconsin, UNC, WVU, BC, UCLA, Stanford, OK ST, Colorado, VT, Syracuse... Kennesaw St finished ahead of Purdue, UNC, WVU, Colorado, BC, UCLA, VT, Syracuse, Stanford, OKST.... If we would have came into last season with..... NC State+Virginia Tech-- on our schedule instead of OD+KS people would have been singing our praises, when in REALITY... the teams we played were BETTER, albeit, don't have national recognition. Sportswriters that have no clue, mostly.

This is my thinking

That's not ideal or realistic and would be incredibly disappointing if those FR were spots 11-13.

I didn't enjoy going to the prom, I would venture to guess other don't, as well. But, I think you could argue... it's easier to adjust to college life "NOT in season" to start, so these guys get a full semester (many take summer courses, as well) before they have to be "IN season" AND in classes.

You didn't think we'd get a bench big and guard? "we have no minutes" really isn't a great recruiting pitch
