An injury or two and you are back to a short bench, if a player is available that can contribute you take him.

i agree, that is why i think ford is going to try to bring another shooter. if gibson can shoot well enough he will play a lot even if his defense is not good

I think there is enough talent returning and promising newcomers to be very optimistic and not just write off this year. coach ford felt another veteran was needed so he signed lewis. i think he will find another gt guard and plans on fielding a good team this year

do we know jalen left because of wiley? i never heard the reason, u r correct would have liked to had jalen

times are changing, transfers were not so commonplace in the past. I like watching players develop over 4 years that is actually my preference, but the climate is different now and we have to keep up. look at what we lost when ford came in

point taken, i never heard the reason jj left, but he would have gotten a lot of pt. the gts last year paid off with tourney appearance and likely would not without them

I am getting too old for long term investment. with the way college is going players transferring you can develop a player to be good for someone else.I think the goal is to win every year and if a gt guard will help, then get him. I am not so sure that we cant make a run this for some post season tourney and we just became thin at the guard spot

I am sure coach ford has a list of shooters and will bring one in. i would like to think one of the newcomers will step up, but an experience guard is nice to have.

hope he does get over the yips, but his ball handling was certainly suspect and i do recall he drove to the rim and missed his dunks when a layup would have been 2 pts.

are you trying to be a wise guy?

IIRC there are very few full ride track scholarships

correct, with cardinals gone there was a big winter sports gap. some were hoping slu would get into football

grawer said he only wanted local kids he knew would play. didnt want malcontents with local families harassing him ]

Could he be close to a degree thus being a GT? most kids out of chaminade have some college credits, plus two and a half a t duquesne and summer school. he might be very close

wooden's record was pretty ordinary until he suddenly got the best recruits from across the country

i agree, many schools like slu would drop down a division or something to that affect

Maybe there should be "professional schools" and non professional. i have grown tired of the so called blue bloods buying a team every year while the mid majors and such just cant or wont. lets have a separted div. for the pros

Any report?

In what way?

i think hankton and jacobs should get incompletes due to injuries. and thatch an a on defense and d on the offensive end i guess that means an overall b. an for ford not sure why he is criticized for x's and O's when he had jimmies and joes who cant shoot

if you cut the turnovers to about ten that game is very close, and with the extra shots you get who knows? the bills went on the winning streak when to's were about 8

Pass first point guards are such a rarity now days that the average fan doesnt realize how much of a positive affect they have on a team. I dont think anyone is saying that yuri is isiah thomas, but that like the aforementioned guards he has the ability to make teammates better

The va tech loss was a combo of turnovers and poor shooting. the first half turnovers put us in too big a hole. to's gave us less shots and them more. i agree with bbf. a true point guard makes a huge difference more shots better shots etc. yuri will play a lot next year

Hope you are right, my coaching experience says otherwise

He has flaws in his ft release, practicing a flawed release won't make it better. Needs to change it altogether
