    Fun player comparison

    Im thinking early career brooks. General all around hustle guy with some talent around him so he didnt have to put up points… He also suffered injuries, so the stats would reflect a partial season

    BB and Tre?

    Shooting Alternatives

    The issue isn’t who can shoot the 3. Everyone on this team hits them during practice. Watch the instagram videos and they players don’t miss. 😆 The question is can anyone hit them during the flow of the game, guarded with a defender in their face. Many of our shooters simply pass up shots...

    Finally

    I don’t know if I would say “pretty good” defensively. I think he is still struggling with really figuring it out, especially with the inconsistent reffing. Early in the season he was picking up a lot of silly fouls playing aggressively on D. Sort of the same way Singleton plays aggressive D...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Rutgers

    The breakdowns on D are really disheartening. Did anyone catch the final drive by Rutgers when they took the lead by 1 with a drive 1v1 drive from the top of the key with Reid defending. Reid actually bodied up pretty well, but then it looked like martinelli stood his ground in the middle of...

    AP

    Last player i can confirm doing this was Rex Walters - granted i haven’t been in chicago for more than 2 decades…. And im sure that he wasn’t the last, and that AP isn’t the only player in recent times to do this. We’ve got/had lots of “gym rats” who are deeply committed to improving their...

    BREAKING: Symon Ghai commits to Northwestern

    TBH, I don't have any insider insight on this recruiting situation - not since previous prior coaching regimes. The other guy (807?) seems to have better inroads to insider info. It wouldn't surprise me either way, but given CCC's preference for flexibility and positionless BB, Kiss seems to...

    What happened to Reid and West? Injuries, precautionary measures or just …

    BREAKING: Symon Ghai commits to Northwestern

    Still on the NZ forward that played against Krupp in the international league on the board.

    Stone is THE MAN. Sorry for any negative comments early in the season.

    Yep. Just ask anyone from the 95 squad this weekend ;)

    Dave Revsine postgame monologue on BTN

    Magee isn’t a 4* TE. He was a tweener receiver, 3* out of FL. Made a position switch ealier this year - i think to WR. We do also have that highly rated kid out of Maine South as a TE, but haven’t really heard or seen much on his development…

    With the roster set, it's time to take a look at the 2025-26 Wildcats

    What about Singleton?!? Sure to get some minutes given his toughness and physicality in the blocks and his offensive versatility…

    Less than 2 months!

    It wasnt too long ago when it was difficult to hold a 5v5 without a warm body walk-on or assistant coach… a far cry from ”iron sharpens iron” The increase in talent AND depth on this year’s squad is remarkable, and a real foundation to support exponential growth compared to years past for this...

    Takeaways

    Did anyone see that Tiernan was playing on the right side of the OL (presumably RT) on at least a few running plays when we lined a TE to the left. Couldn’t see who was LT, but definitely not 72. Very curious about what was behind this alignment
