  1. Kidd would probably be last on that list.
  2. South Sudan?... whoa... talk about a challenging first head coaching assignment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. there were times this past season when it seemed like Greg himself didn't give a shit
  4. Cunningham has a lot offer in the effort, passing, defense, and even rebounding categories... he will be a valuable bench player who could average 10 minutes a game if he stays out of foul trouble. With the predicted deep roster, minutes will have to be earned... unlike the days where we had potentially useful situational players sitting on the bench at odd times.
  5. There becomes a point where Ramey and Coleman waiting to make a decision actually is detrimental to the team, as equally/better skilled guards in the portal will choose to go elsewhere if they think there's a good chance of Ramey or Coleman taking valuable playing time. Simms is a critical addition and I don't mind giving more time to decide. two rebounding paint presence guys and a guard with a handle are what can take the team up from a likely 3rd/4th place Big 12 finish to being one of the favorites to win it. We absolutely need a guy to play center and a 2nd PG. If Ramey comes back, a viable argument can be made that we still need a 2nd reliable ballhandler. I'd take Simms, the UTEP big, and the OU point guard transfer and call it a wrap... a Greg Brown surprise decision or a different, third big man in the loop would be awesome.
  6. The good news is they wouldn’t need to be “the man” here with all the talent on the roster so far... they’d be role players and would just need to be consistent and sound ... that said Simms and/another paint presence would be ideal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Simms and Tanner Groves or another 6'8" guy who can defend in the paint and rebound would really round out this roster to compete against bigger squads that bishop and allen might have trouble manning the inside against on offense and defense... even so, I think this team is already scrappy enough to hang with most teams, but some more size with athleticism would really bring it up a notch.
  8. That plus Simms, Muoka(the kid from Lamar) and Greg Brown would be fricking awesome... even Hepa choosing to return over Brown staying a year would be a very good pool of players Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Simms, another guard who can bring the ball up court and find the open man, and one more rebounder who can block an occasional shot and this team just might be salty enough to make it to the 2nd weekend of the tourney.
  10. A hike through the Gap of Dunloe would be worthwhile. It's very close to Killarney. The Ring of Kerry is cool, but I kind of like to drive around the peninsula that includes Dingle and Connor Pass, as there are less tour buses. Also, I'd recommend a stop at Minard castle, between Killarney and Dingle, which is well off the beaten path and very surreal. In Dublin, there's large multistory pub (near St. Stephen's green and the main pedestrian/shopping/busking street) called O'neill's[sp?] that has a great cafeteria on the bottom floor. The Brazen Head in Dublin is a good spot to grab a Guinness.
  11. Despite flashes of showing some offensive ability (he pump faked and drove the lane once for a dunk), he has exhibited many bad habits / deficiencies that were not corrected or improved in his stay here... the ones that bothered me most included his unwillingness to box out for rebounds and lazy reaching on defense... on offense he fell in love (and was not coached up otherwise) with just standing in the corner and allowed his defender to cheat off him and rest... even when he was hot in rare games on offense, his weak defense ended up putting him on the bad side of the +\- column... his overall physicality and effort reminded me of a skilled junior high kid getting a taste of being bullied around by a grown man and being intimidated by it... a change in mindset and some firm coaching could make him a useful player this year...

  12. Aj and Ramey killing us with lazy stupid play
  13. Febres and AJ are soft on defense Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. It'll be a strange (expectedly very rough, but hopefully not so) season with a roster full of swingmen types... youth will be tossed about as an excuse.. no true ball handler and no presence in the paint. We will shoot a ton of threes, get outrebounded regularly, and shy away even more from any paint related offense (unless Simms returned for some reason). Without a couple guys who can block a shot and fight for defensive rebounds, even the one most consistent plus for this team (defense) is prone for a drop.
  15. G brown should sit for that .. stupid “me” ball Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. The lighting on this espn+ feed is killing me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. The 4 guard lineup continues to blow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. This Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Completely zero defense last two possessions Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. AJs jitter crossover is a an unforced turnover way too often for him to keep pulling that shit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. He’s likely our starting and only PG and go to ball handler next year when the games on the line... let that sink in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Our best ball handler still panics like a freshman and plays with no sense of where his teammates are on the floor when he needs to be a stabilizing force Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Energy and another guy who will out a body on an opponent to box out for a rebound... the 4 guard lineup is total ass on defense Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. If you’re gonna play Sims as the only big man on the court you cannot have him pressing out at the three-point line ...he needs to stay in the fucking paint Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Greg brown has no clue what to do on offense ... and Texas turns it over and only 2 guys hustle back on defense ... Ramey, AJ, and Greg barely jogging back ... sit em down if that’s the urgency they intend to display Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
