I am definitely not that optimistic, but I never am! I hope you're right! I do think this can be a very solid team though.

Bing!

i am a numbers guy for sure and find research very interesting. i think the numbers hold true and mean more in baseball though. i think there are so many intangibles in basketball that it's tougher to go by the numbers.

i get the point of this thread. it's all opinions and a message board, etc. it's just very funny to me that guys like us would say what he should be working on. i'm sure he wants them to play better defense. i'm sure he wants to improve FT shooting. i'm sure they work on offense. i'm sure they work on rebounding. these college coaches work on each facet of the game. it's just that some coaches are better at certain aspects. some teams execute what they are taught/coached better.

selfless basketball, solid defense, setting screens, playing tough, etc.

seems strange thinking to me to want names on the back because playing for the Team is no longer relevant? or to stick it to a coach who has been gone for a very long time?

this shouldn't surprise anyone, but i am all about tradition. i really hope we do not put names on the back.

good head on your shoulders is one thing. top 5 pick doesn't stay another year.

HTD - I've been of this mindset for quite a while as well. Thinking he is finally ready to be that beast down low, but... I've picked up from the guys on this board that he isn't close to 100% and won't be by the start of the season.

so i just went back and looked at the top 10 recruits according to ESPN starting in 2013 through 2017. when you look at the numbers the top 10 guys in each class put up, then look at Romeo being top 5, i just think it is very realistic for a scoring guard like him to come in and immediately put a lot of points up the way Gordon did. Gordon was #2 in his class and i believe the highest rated guy we've gotten since was Vonleh at 13. big difference looking at a top 5 guy.

the Gordon comparison is a great point. Romeo could easily score 18 +. Morgan proved himself as a scorer last season. i like the Gordon and White comparison. was going to say Smith as #3 originally, but i do think Green could be that guy.

looks like we need to merge threads. just posted this in another one - it really seems like a deep group. of course i am a much bigger fan of CAM's subbing than CTC's. it seems like everyone listed is talented enough to play. i still say keep the best 8 or so on the court a lot and play 9 and 10 sparingly and 11 and beyond don't need to play in a close game.

can they just go ahead and put them on probation now?
