HoosierPal Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Well, not the NET raising home/away we could use, but perhaps an extra W or two in there. Not doubling down on VCU, St. Bonnie, Davidson or Rhody won't help us. Getting VCU and St. Bonnie at home is nice. At least we are splitting what should be top half teams that we don't play twice. [Davidson and Rhody being the other two away.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier, the same could be said for nearly every starter in the conference, even seniors....Has nothing to do with star ratings and everything to do with French being a force...can we be more encouraging of the freshmen?

I'm sure reading this forum is required of all our players and their moods fluctuate with every post. I will keep that in mind next time I post anything negative. Thanks so much.

Aquinas Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 The good news is our freshmen are on site and playing against French. That will show them what works, and what doesn't at Div 1 on both sides of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I do not doubt Neufeld could jump, however he could not do much of anything else. As long as the two new bigs have a more rounded up set of abilities, we can still do OK with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fit the bully ball vibe. When you’re around 6’10” you don’t exactly need to be a leader to touch the rim. So I’ll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Check out the Instagram links on the home page of Billikens.com for clips of Yuri and Hargrove. Very impressive. Yuri drawing two defenders on a baseline drive then making a sweet underhand dish to French for a wide open basket. French didn't even jam it. Just finger rolled it in. Suhweet! I really do think Yuri finds his way into the starting lineup before all is said and done, because he will make guys like French, Perkins, Hargrove, and Jimerson that much more effective. Then, Hargrove taking a neat pass from who I think is Thatch and going in for a reverse dunk. The kid can sky! I've been around long enough to know you can't get too excited about pre season practices and hype highlite videos, but these two plays are fun to watch. Getting a little anxious about Perkins still being MIA. I hope it's not a hang up with our admissions people, because there would be plenty of suitors willing to look the other way when it comes to credit transfers.

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, regarding Perkins's arrival. He has until August. Remember, Tramaine Isabell committed in June (or May?) but didn't get on campus until August.

Billikenbooster Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 And it took him a number of months to get acclimated at the beginning of the season. This is not ideal, but probably over the course of the year will not matter much. mhg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 How many times in your life have things worked out in an ideal manner Billikenbooster? I would say not many times, and yet you are here and apparently doing well. This is the way things normally work out, wouldn't you say?

Billikenbooster Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Actually I feel that things have worked out pretty well for me, OG. Since you don't know me, I would say it is kind of presumptuous of you to assume that things have 'not many time's worked out in an ideal manner. I am a positive guy, and in my experience, folks with positive attitudes generally do ok. I'm here, the Bills are league champs, the Blues are Stanley Cup champs, my family's health is good....that's how I view it. Over time we minimize the bad things that happen, remember the good. That is human nature. Even the axxholes that jump in here and post stupid stuff don't bother me. Love the ignore button. mhg TheDude, bauman, Slu let the dogs out? and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Good for you Billikenbooster, my experience with life has been diametrically opposite to yours. I did manage well for myself and mine but my life has definitely not been a cake walk. However, who cares, this is water under the bridge. moytoy12 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
