I don’t know what position they recruited him in HS, guessing it changed when he got to FSU. So I’m definitely sure they know each other 

Yeah he was a WR his entire career there, so they absolutely knew each other.

Whether those emojis were about Bell is a whole other story, his next tweet tells me it may be something unrelated.

They probably talked at some point, but his main recruiters were Odell Haggins and Lawrence Dawsey

Bell was the OC when Matthews was there

Oh, he was the OC at Maryland the year they went down to like their 4th string QB.

Well, he can’t be worse than Sheridan 

Happy with the transfers But our biggest weakness is OL/QB,

so far no help there

Let’s see if his Brother is next

Whos his brother?

Onto Wisconsin, curious to see if we can steal one

IU’s been in the mix for a while 

Is he close to deciding?

This guy kindve came out of nowhere lol

Curious if we go hard after transfer QB’s. Not sure Penix will be back and i don’t feel particularly strong on Tuttle 

Hard to believe we went from giving Stevens essentially a blank check to we have no money

Haven’t watched Virginia much this year, but Armaan Franklin looked rough last night

Unfortunately the same can be said for Geronimo. He has more moving screens than anyone else on the team this year. I’m pretty sure he had two against Marshall. 

To be fair, one of those calls was absolutely horrendous. 

No excuse for Hiller to stay on staff either with how horrendous our offensive line was either

Yeah I think it’s too early to say. There’s a lot of potential but we need the depth to step up. I feel confident in TJD and mostly confident in X, I feel good about Race as a complimentary player, but we really need a solid third option to step up. I don’t think Stewart or Kopp are going to do that, they seem like complimentary guys who can hit some shots on this team (which is a need, so that’s great). I think it’s really going to have to be Bates developing into an all conference level player over the course of the season if we want this to be a special season. 

How many Big Ten teams have 3 all conference level guys this year?

Wasn’t pretty, but with this game coming after Thanksgiving and right before Syracuse it was pretty much a trap game.

Thought X and Trayce were outstanding (clearly the top two guys on the team) and thought we got solid minutes from most of our guys, but sheesh Geronimo and Durr were rough. 
 

props to Marshall too. That’s a team I would imagine will contend for a bid come march. They’ve got some tough shot makers on that team.

Lander had 3 turnovers in the first 5 mins of being on the court. 4 for the game. He also, twice, was involved in turnovers because of an illegal screen. If KL wants to be a part of the rotation, consistently, this season.... 3 TOs in 5 mins will not get it done. If we'd had another option yesterday he would have been sat and we wouldn't even have been able to see him play well the rest of the game. 

You cannot come into a game, in the role he's in now, and do that. You just can't. His potential or whatever else isn't going to overshadow that. 

Come in more focused. Stop trying to force so much, stop hiding so much when the play breaks down... especially against that kind of pressure. 

I feel like you hold Lander to a higher standard than other guys for no reason. Did he make mistakes with turnovers? Sure...

Go look at Phinisee's offensive production though. It's been horrendous. Lander has been more productive, even accounting for turnovers offensively, and it's not even close. Phinisee might get more time with his defensive abilities in certain match-ups, but thats about it for me.

Lander was impressive, I thought 

Offense is sloppy, that needs to be fixed. Way too many fouls too.

Really, really good defense, but the defensive rebounding is extremely poor.

I would essentially argue anyone that has any defensively ability and experience should play above Lander, that so happens to be Rob. 

Depends how much of a blackhole they are on offense. I like Rob, but man 25% from the field, 22% from three, and more turnovers than assists is not good.... Hard for any realistic defensive standard to balance that out. Don't know if Lander would be any better, and in Rob's defense its a small sample size this season... But it's a pretty brutal sample size. 

Yeah I imagine LaVall needs a tournament birth this season or his seat will be very warm

I will say with Geronimo, shades of OG for me last night. 

Pretty solid mid major, shouldn’t have any issues if we show up but that was a pretty intense game last night so you always wonder about the let down…

Xavier need to figure out how to stay on the floor. He had foul trouble in the Bahamas. At least we have 2 backups. I didn't like his foul seeking on that jumper in the second half. We need him to just stay on floor and play smart basketball. He does that and we will go a long way.

No doubt, but last night showed how night and day our offense is when X is on the bench and when he’s running our offense.

He’s vital to what we do.

To be honest, Geronimo never should have been taken out of the game when he was.  But, props to the assistants for getting Woodson to make the move on the last play.  

Geronimo is our 3rd best player.

3rd best?

X/Race/Trayce seem like the clear cut top 3 to me early

The move to put Geronimo in on that last defensive play was a great one. Saw on Twitter that Woodson said his assistants were yelling at him to get him in. 

I do not believe that move would have been made with the old staff.  I dont mean to bash Archie or his staff, I just think that's a kind tactical move we would not have seen. 

I don’t really get the feeling anyone on Archie’s staff would ever yell at him to do anything either really… don’t know if they had that kind’ve relationship but maybe that’s just me
