    My recruiting to salvage next season

    Don’t have names of players to target but we need desperately players that can: 1. Rebound the ball - physical PF and/or Center, Chuck Hayes/Oscar type 2. Protect the ball - PG with passing skills, but more importantly handles the ball well. Also a secondary ball handler that can help 3...

    He was worse this year. But you’re not going to get a really good player if he gets 5 or less minutes a game. His shot, if it comes back, makes the defense account goer him on the offensive end and maybe opens up a teammate. He leaves and you replace him with a new guy with similar talent.

    Trent is a 4 year player. There used to be a time in college basketball when a young man was allowed to mature both physically and mentally. Today if you are not showing up on NBA draft boards as a freshman, you are labeled a failure. He is a rising Junior and did not hav a good year. But I...

    Garrison to the portal

    Enigma is an accurate term to use with Brandon. All American for a game, then several games of nothing. Has spurts but no consistency and as a rising Senior, little room to grow. We were spoiled with Amari and may not find a better alternative in the portal than BG, but I think this is a...

    Garrison to the portal

    Believe that Keegan Brown is important in the role of establishing what a player is worth, the players pluses and minuses, and how he could fit or does not fit on this team’s preferred style of play next season. May be cold and calculated but college basketball is now a business from the...

    A team needs complimentary players. Some have all around skills - offense/ defense/intangibles. These are your top players and you need 2-3 of these types. Others may be superb shooters, rebounders, ball handlers etc but average or below average in the other skills. While you would prefer...

    BB Juke Harris Enters The Portal

    All players today are looking for the $$ be they a #1 guy or a #10 guy. The system is broke but I cannot blame the players. Great benefit for the non-NBA types to make some cash before starting their careers.

    Like to keep Trent. He provides another potential shooter (not this season though), experience, good kid/no problems. May not get a lot of minutes but can come off the bench to rebound, get loose balls, maybe hit a 3 on occasion. Could be a modern version of Cameron Mills who was...

    Last Four Champions - Roster Breakdown

    Great points! After reading about the recent hire of Keegan Brown and his views on building a roster by emphasizing fit and not necessarily the mixtapes and hype, I have renewed optimism that CMP can assemble a team of complimentary players with talent and the ability to fit his system...

    Chandler rumors

    Sounds like a good dribbling drill to add to practice since you never know when a fire hydrant might appear on the court during a game. Prepare for all contingencies!

    One year from today, Kentucky...

    Agree on your defense slant. We need a Lamont Butler type guard that can apply pressure at half court and not get beat off the dribble. Good defensive teams don’t have to scramble like we did on most of our opponent’s possessions. Also, a physical defensive oriented big man that can make...

    Chandler rumors

    Collin improved tremendously from year 1 to year 2. Can he make the additional leap next season? As many have stated, he needs to improve his ball handling and develop the ability to use a shot fake and his quickness to get to the basket. If he can improve in these areas, he can be a...

    Only dismissed because their name would not fit on company stationary.
