You and I are on the same page as to what is best for UM and why that maybe different from what Pack is hearing from the pro people. I’m also trying to think about who is a comp for him in the NBA at this size and no one jumps to mind but maybe someone else can help us. The problem for Pack at...

I think Pack has to play point if he wants to play in the NBA. He can’t play the 2 guard as a pro. I’m confident he was told at the draft combine that he needs to show he can play the point.

If this turns out to be the case then I’d like to see Joseph as the 6th man again. I’m admittedly worried about the lack of size in a Pack/Joseph back court. Joseph is a good defender but its hard to hide 2 small players.

Nwoko has grown man strength and ready to be the back up 5. Casey will play more of a stretch 4. I also expect Watson to contribute this season, and hopefully George as well. That should allow us to go 8 deep with legit players. And possibly 9 depending on George. I do not believe our...

They were really good and I agree with you that just “slotting” people into those spots and expecting similar production is unfair and unrealistic. You may recall that I have a personal interest in Matt Cleveland but I’ve said on CIS many times not to expect him to be the next coming of Jordan...

I agree with our about the danger of projections, so how about this position. This year’s team is more talented 1-10 than last year’s team. Will it translate to more wins is hard to say because Wong and Miller were so big in so many big games. Miller against Texas literally played one of the...

I know people have different views of ****ie V, but for someone like me who was a teenager in the 80’s. Vitale was the first and only announcer who seemed to actually enjoy the game. His contemporaries talked like they were reading the news. ****ie V changed college basketball broadcasting...

According to Chris Stock, Wooga had 31 of his team’s 91 points. My comp for Wooga next year is Benedict Mathurin who played at Arizona a few years ago and was a 1st round pick. A 3 level scorer and great athlete.

Casey looks like he is preparing to play a stretch 4 role. His jump shot looks pretty good. I hope he can give us some defensive minutes as a post defender but I have zero problems with playing him more as a shooter than post offensive player like Omier.

Can we agree that Pack does not look to be the 6 feet at which he is listed? 5’10” would be my guess. It makes his tip slam last year all the more impressive.

Did Nigel Pack shrink? He looks about 5’6”

I don’t see Matt matching Miller’s offensive production. Miller is a pretty special player, and a very different player from Cleveland. I think Cleveland can be better defensively, especially if we press where he excels in playing the passing lanes. But he does not have Miller’s touch. Not...

If we are realistic, outside of a handful of schools, consistently making it to the round of 32 in the tournament is a really good accomplishment.

Let me give you an opposite view. if we are healthy, we are a Sweet 16 team again. We lost a lot of experience and productivity in Miller and Wong, but we have added a lot of talent with transfers and freshmen. How quickly talent turns into productivity will determine if the Sweet 16 is the...

Not this year’s Wooga. He did not have the ball handling skills to be a true 2 guard. Maybe next year but he has a lot of work to do if that’s is what he wants.

UConn may have been the only team that could have beaten us as they did last night. But I will add that this looked like the Maryland game, another big team. And even then I worried that playing another big team would be a problem. I also hoped that L would have brought Casey along more to get...
