No. It's because you've gotten to the point that you disbelieve good news, which is sad. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If saying Curcic will have to prove that he’s a “difference maker” and that I’m not just taking Frank’s (aka Ford’s) word for it anymore is disbelieving good news, then I guess you’ve got me there. Still excited for the kid to be a part of the program. Bizziken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriel Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 He passed the eye test for me, if you haven’t watched any of his tape that’s online then I don’t care about your opinion. This guys in a vastly different league than the Ingvi’s, Cisses, etc that we’ve brought in in the past. Ford haters will find something to cry about everything.

I went back thru this thread and I'm a little confused. Do we have a link that is for sure highlights for "our" Curcic? I thought there was confusion with earlier links maybe being a different Curcic? Any confirmed links to "our" Curcic are appreciated!

dlarry Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 If we still don’t know which guy we got we might as well take both of them. That way we are guaranteed to get the better one. brianstl, Dr Bird and MusicCityBilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 even tho we're not 100% sure which kid it is, this seems like a great pickup. Still a little worried that our 2 PGs going into next year are actually CG/SG. Perhaps this is the PG by committee a lot of people want to see again. Parker I think can handle the ball better then people think, so Parker, Serbian, and LHJ all splitting roles maybe? slufan13 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriel Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 This is the correct Curcic. https://www.fiba.basketball/world/u19/2023/player/Djordje-Curcic Confirmed with his Instagram account where he posted his SLU commitment.

slufan13 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 This team is going to have no problem scoring from the guard position. I'll assume one or two of the bigs are going to be successful as well. If this team can play defense, they could be pretty good. If they can't, at least we're going to see exciting losses. brianstl, MusicCityBilliken and gabriel like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure seems like he is a legitimate talent, I’d say he’s a great signing. I would like to apologize to him in advance for how badly Guy Phillips will mangle his name…. gabriel likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense is why Dandridge is so important to get. He's on Franco's level. Our offense should rival last years offense. But ya, not sure about defense. Need Dalger to take a big step on the defensive side. As of now, he may be the worst defender to see minutes in a long time - including Marten. I think LHJ will be better defensively than Yuri with his length, and I want THJ to focus on being an important player on defense for us. Maybe with the new found weight he can be.

ACE Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I like that it looks like he can shoot off the dribble and create his own shot - that's something Gibby can't do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford could have a reincarnated Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem, Magic, Jordan, Russell, etc on his team and would find a way to underachieve, so excuse us for witholding excitement until he doesn't.

You’d never know he’s the highest paid coach in the conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
