If JP can shoot as well as he has with the size he's put on, he'll see the NBA. Sheesh.

About 30 minutes ago per Verbal Commits. JICYMI

I know it’s really easy to say this in June, but I’m going into this season with the same kinda measured excitement I went into the season 2 years ago with. Back then, Bess and Foreman and Isabell had graduated, this year it’s Goodwin and Has. But at the same time, we’ve got guys coming in (Williams, Nesbitt, Okoro) joining an already talented roster, the same way TJ and Yuri and Locomotive and Perk came in to join Goodwin and Has 2 years ago. Except, I think next year’s team has even more returning talent, considering I haven’t even mentioned Thatch or Linssen or Jimerson or Strickland or the Big Swede (I haven’t given up on him yet), and we still have 2 open scholarships (though I’m not sure we fill either 1 before the season.) Will he have sloppy moments and even some sloppy games next year without JGood and Has leading the charge? Probably. But we have so much talent, we might end up winning some of those sloppy games. I can’t wait. Let’s go!

He had a rough 4 years to be a Billiken. He always kept competing and he kept producing. I am sure he was frustrated that the team overall was not what he thought it would be (i.e. he joined a top 25 team that fell to the bottom of the A10 when he arrived). He never let that frustration that I assume was present become a distraction or bring his commitment to the team in question. I hold Roby in as high regard as Lisch, Goodwin, Highmark, or any other Billiken. I am excited he is back.

Perkins with a Giannis like transformation.

I missed that. Mea Culpa.

Reinert said, "Two years ago." I think we all had high expectations last year.

To be fair, with Goodwin & French on the court with him most of the time, he didn't really need to rebound / it there weren't many rebounds for him. There are several candidates whose rebounding #s might spike with Goodwin & French gone (Perkins, Thatch, Hargrove).

I really liked Forte as a player probably because I love the movie Hoosiers so much. Forte always reminding me of Ollie!

We offered a Pope.

@Pistol was spot on about reaching out tonight.

Finley Bizjack (it’s Finley, not Finlez. Typo probably) sounds like a name @Box and Woncould work with!

Absolutely agree. As bad as some of those teams were, I can’t think of a single time that Davell ever sulked or complained or didn’t give 100% effort. Couldn’t be happier to have him back! Really happy with the Phil Forte hire too. We were due for some good news. Today is a good day to be a Billiken!

Feels like it's been a while since some really good news came across the board. Excited to have Davell back in the mix.

Adding the disclaimer (which I'm sure most already know): only the first four of those are allowed to recruit.

As much as i hate the nfl, i believe football suits french's physical self and skills and seems like this would be a wonderful opportunity. His weakness would be a lack of football experience and knowledge but knowing his work ethic, he'd quickly close those gaps. Count me thrilled he is getting this chance. I promise to give football another chance and will become his biggest fan
