Good point about the strength and conditioning program. Casey is listed at 6-9....going into his senior year of high school, he weighed 180 pounds...now he's listed at 220...takes time to blossom in a body that has changed that much.

Exactly we need guys that are culture fits, if Avila knows him and likes his work ethic.  Or a coach is familiar that matters.  Can't be a C. Gordon with all the talent but a malcontent.
We need guys willing to buy into a system, share the ball and play hard.

not just building a roster with sheer talent.   looking for chemistry.

i said early in the season vogel was a fail.   they are only in the playoff because they have 3 of the top players in the league.   vogel did all he could to F that up but they somewhat overcame his incompetence.

If not for the incompetency of Frank Vogel, the Suns might have noticed they had a dude that would help their top 3 talent roster finish higher than 6th...

I’m ok with HCJS taking a few shots on some former highly ranked recruits transferring down a level. You never know if they’re gonna be Javon Bess or Ash Yacoubou.  But worth the occasional shot. 

I thought Rammer was supportive of Ford when all the stuff was happening?

Why was everyone so hyped for Turnbull? His Butler numbers were super underwhelming 

while if anyone was made for hero ball it was sincere parker.   that said, hero ball and schertz 5 out do not mix.  one or the other had to go likely is my thought.  good luck to parker.   i am betting at mcneese he will be a star.   good for him.  

I personally think with the Schertz offense I watched in the NIT, we don't need a pure point guard.   They get out and run and everyone is moving even in the half court.   
Assuming Schertz will try to implement the same offense we need speed and shooters.   A lot of dribbling is a fail.  All need vision and passing skills and unselfish attitudes.

We need whatever Coach Schertz thinks we need.

Goodwin was a consensus top 100 recruit but not a national story when he signed.  More of a regional big deal.  Gordon even less so.  He had been as a high as top 10 player earlier in HS but his rating had fell significantly and he wasn't being recruited at a high rate anymore because of all of his red flags.

I stated elsewhere that hiring Corey Tate was the best decision Coach Ford made during his tenure.  Tate has good relationships with the top local high school players and top juco players in the region.  I'm pleased that Coach Schertz recognized his value and retained him.

Yep, that's where the tool belongs.

colleges should always be in the business of education first and foremost.  they have no business running a professional sports franchise and giving the athletes (notice i didnt say student athletes) money with no emphisis on education.   if the athletes want to play their sport for a career, fine go to a minor league otherwise get in the classroom and earn a diploma.

I noticed during games that Tate was the coach that seemed to be the guy to have a player come and sit next to him when he came out of the game after ford did one of his famous yanks.  Imo having that guy there is pretty important.
