and that "1"

Sets screens, runs the floor, Oreb..... doesn't sit on the block and post. 

Well, I'm not sure about the Oreb part of that... one of the markers of his system is that he sends no one to the offensive glass.

I'm hoping for a new roster and coaching staff which is likely. Sure, a few of the players will stay and maybe someone like Hulls. I remember Miller had to keep a lot of Crean's guys in year one. It was a much different era in 2017 (crazy to say that). I've always wondered how Archie would've done if he could have used the portal right away (I think we know the answer now). Woodson kept way too many Archie players and coaches around back in 2021.

Hopefully not our best player. When all the dust settles.  
 

On a tangent wasn’t their a Hey Arnold episode where the coaches kid was named Tucker. 

DeVries is really, really good.  MVC player of the year as both a sophomore and junior.

What is exciting about him is his 3 point % went up big time at West Virginia. Small sample size but still. I'm guessing he is a 3/4?

Oh Luke Goode fits if it's an option. Fits like a glove.

I assume he's done.

Would be pretty surprised for him not to be an All-League guy next year. Pretty big pick up lol

ok guys...... He's winning the press conference......  That man is motivated to win.  I'm quickly warming up.  Getting pumped up to see what his recruiting chops will look like.  

Well that didn't take long...yesterday I thought you might needed a wellness check. LOL

They needed to be dusted off so I think it was Martha the Mop Lady's brother former IU manager Dusty May Dusts Banners.

At least they didn’t get burnt up like the Bulls’ banners

Ya think Leal was sent by the team to check him out?

nah, he's looking to sell a house.  :)

WVU, for not sending anyone to the offensive glass, only avged 1.9 ORs less than us a game.

It sounds like it's likely he gets the waiver and is back next year. Might be a fight.

Lol, a rec league basketball team where Coach Wittenberg benches Arnold for making a shot instead of passing the ball to his son. Good stuff.

I'll concede that point; the 5 is around the basket, and is the lone opportunity at second chance points. The other guys vacate immediately, but you're right.

Goode back? I haven't found a single person who thought he would win his appeal. I hope your right but since he finished the season that year they usually don't approve those

he was trying to read without looking like he was reading.  He really needed Biden's teleprompter.  Cuban should have hooked him up in the back of the media room.  lol

He's likely had very little sleep if any and is operating on pure adrenaline and multiple Bang Energy drinks.  I also think he's a bit uncomfortable talking about himself and discussing fluff with the media.  He was in his element talking ball.

I don't expect Goode to win his appeal frankly. Hoping for the best though.

This is also true, which is awful for a team so attracted to 2-big lineups, and which had Oumar Ballo...
