Crazy spin move by Casey. Gonna be impossible to defend that.

Yeah, saw Pack had 7 assists yesterday.

Not much to takeaway from the game. TCNJ would lose to good high school teams.

But George looks the part. I was also impressed with Jakai's effort.

I think we will be very good this year.

But will the computers like us ….. I keeed I keeed, I like our truce (still think kenpom is flawed and doesn’t merit the attention it gets tho lol).

Lol

Hot take: the computers WILL like us this year.

If Jakai can give us some quality bench minutes as the 9th or 10th guy, that would make this team very deep.

Not much one can really takeaway or nitpick about in a 57-point blowout win against a D3 team, but here goes:

-Miami shot the **** out the ball, especially early on. As expected, guard play will be stout and deep.
-Norchad looks much improved. I think he took his NBA draft eval to heart. Looked much more comfortable in the open court with the ball and on the perimeter. Excited to see what this season brings from him.
-Newcomers stood out, particularly George and Cleveland. From what I saw, no question they're going to be intregal parts this season.
-Compliments to the S&C staff. Freshmen look a lot better physically than they did a few months ago.
-Thought Casey looked better than Nwoko, but considering Casey was still in the game playing junk minutes looks like Nwoko has the early lead in the pecking order.

10-deep Pecking order:
-Forwards: Norchad, Campbell, Nwoko & Casey
-Guards: Pack, Wooga, Joseph, George, Watson & Robinson

GO CANES!!!

Nice write up @Peter Ariz. I’m really interested to see how long we do the Pack/Beverly starting backcourt. It seems like we’d be too small, but there is something to “dictating” the pace/game instead of changing for the opponent.

We’ll see

Pack/Joseph

I’ve been singing this same song since seeing him okay in the under 18 game against the US team, but Michael Nwoko will be impactful this season. He is strong and aggressive, has a jump hook already with either hand and is a good free throw shooter. He also tries to dunk anything near the basket.
We have a real bench with him, George, Casey and Watson.
I’ve never seen L does this but he could almost run these 4 and 1 more as a true 2nd unIt.

And, if you're that deep, no excuse not to play harder on the defensive end.

Beverly? Like Harlond Beverly that's at Wichita St? Like are you living in another time capsule?

Casey looks impressed there

This squad is shaping up to be the best team we’ve ever had and that’s saying something because the last 2 teams were special. Coach L went out and got him some depth and it looks like it’s going to pay off big time. L looking like he’s going to try and win a Natty before he retires. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy and an even better leader of young men. In Coach L
I trust!! I’m pumped and ready to watch this team ball out once again this year!

Let’s Go Canes!!

That kid has some silk to his game. Coach L knows what’s up!!
