re: Welcome home Jalen Courtney-Williams. Hired as new basketball assistant

Posted by PNG Futbol on 4/19/24 at 1:23 pm

Unfortunately, none of us got to see a healthy (pre major knee injury) Adam Miller in a Tiger uniform. I remember the comments by Wade on his quality were based on his preinjury play and potential. Maybe Wade did make comments on him after the injury, but I remember the expectations were based on hi...

What does "1 additional spot open" mean? I didn't think that there was a stated limit on the number of players on the roster, just the number of scholarships allowed. I thought that we were limited to 12 scholarship players for the 24-25 season but could have as many players as walk ons as we...

Half of players not playing yet is the norm every year. If McMahon can't handle this, he shouldn't be the head coach. A poster on this board said that McMahon was paying prospects equally [top 7 or 8 if I remember correctly]. That is not what happens in professional sports or in a free market...

So, McMahon has had highly rated recruiting and transfer classes all 3 years. His fan boys are happy to crow about them. He has not come close to reaching the big dance. If he is so great, he should be in the tournament this year. I guarantee that his fan boys will keep finding new excuses. Som...

For a season ticket holder, the tickets are expensive for what I am getting this year. The fact that the resale market is so cheap majes it even worse. ...

I have lost a lot of interest in this team. The loss of Zion again, a starting center that doesn't appear to be in the coaches game plan, and expensive playoff tickets for a team not going anywhere aren't an enticement. I need some roster changes and a summer of separation to rebuild my exciteme...

If McMahon doesn't get one or two experienced big men in the portal, he is making a mistake IMO. Reed and Fountain (if he is on the roster next year) have shown they are not the answer to compete with more powerful paint players on some teams. The other paint players on the roster are not experience...

Is this the second assistant that McMahon has lost? Was the first assistant lost last year replaced by someone already on staff? Will McMahon elevate someone from his current staff or will he be able to entice someone who can actually move the needle? This program needs a big injection of ...

Collins was too skinny last year. He will need to put on 15 pounds of muscle to be able to compete in the paint. I don't see Chest as being big enough to play the 5 or a strong power forward position. I think we need to pick up someone in the portal!...

Williams has the potential to be a great player. But, she seemed to hit the freshman wall once SEC play really got going. She made mistakes on offense and defense. Her shooting efficiency went down. These things had nothing to do with how she was used. I believe that she will end up being a firs...
