re: Tide Hoops | Offseason

If I'm being honest, I think Philon is kind of a missing piece in the team's construction thus far, and could actually play a big role for us. Right now, we don't have a whole lot from a penetration standpoint. Sears can get to the paint a bit, but Estrada put on an absolute clinic on how to get ins...

[quote]Saw in a couple places that Wisconsin assistant Joe Krabbenhoft supposedly interviewed for our open assistant position.[/quote] Alabama is getting interest from a Wisconsin grad who is the current Associate HC of Wisconsin and has been rumored for several HC opportunities the past few year...

[quote]Personally I'm all for it. If he sucks, you can't play 13 guys anyway and he's back in the portal. If he looks like a 5* we get a good player and break Auburn basketball. Not much downside as it stands. Now, if Sears ends up staying in the draft I may be a little less optimistic because it'll...

[quote]Im gonna trust Oats but Pedulla is so inefficient. If I have to choice between him and Holloway give me Aden all day[/quote] I get some of the concern with Pedulla, but I also think this take is a little funny. I realize Aden was a freshman, but he was also in a much better situation as we...

[quote]Yeah that's an odd one. He's not super efficient and turns the ball over a good bit. Doesn't really seem like someone Oats would see much in.[/quote] I think he'd be a very solid replacement for Mark Sears. The TOs concerned me but Vecenie even said when he watched him play that he thinks ...

Looks like there are rumors of us potentially landing Sean Pedulla out of nowhere. I thought landing Holloway made me skeptical Sears would return. Landing both makes me think it's a sure thing he's gone. Edit: This would be huge if true and 2 huge consolation prizes, but I'd be heartbroken knowi...

[quote]Re: Pollard Didn’t his Mom get into trouble with the law right after his enrollment here? She kidnapped someone’ s child it was said, May have been other charges too. That’s enough to mess up anyone’s season.[/quote] Yup. And she made Devonta drive the getaway car. Strange family. Devon...

[quote]Isn't Storr more of a driving guard? Seems like they could fit together.[/quote] They added Zeke Mayo and returned Dajuan Harris as well. He could start over Mayo perhaps, but I'd bet against it. Not to mention 6th man at Kansas isn't the same as the 6th man here. Self is known to play ...

[quote]Is Fland realistic? Unless he was already having second thoughts I assumed he'd just follow Cal to Arkansas.[/quote] He says he's completely wide open, and from what I can remember there wasn't that big of a gap between us and Kentucky when he picked them. We've made a Final Four since and...

[quote]Nelson on the other hand should definitely come back imo. Unlike Sears, his NBA stock has a lot of room to grow with one more year in CNO's system, [b]especially now that he'd be playing next to a real center.[/b] He should come back.[/quote] I know there's been some smoke, but so many peo...

PG - Sears SG - Wrightsell, Youngblood, SF - Reid, Mallette, Cunningham PF - Nelson, Stevenson, Dioubate C - Sherrell, Wague Let's say no one else leaves... What would you realistically want from the portal? I think I'd go Omoruyi and Fland. Obviously I'd like McNeeley too, but we defini...

Most people after reading that statement: [quote]Good luck to Mark. He deserves all the blessings he's received and will get. Gonna miss the hell out of him. Now that it's official, let's go get a PG.[/quote] Me: [img]https://i.gifer.com/2oN.gif[/img]...

[quote]There was a line of thinking emerging not long ago that in-state Texas would be a player for former Indiana commit Liam McNeeley, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. There simply doesn’t seem to be much contact between the five-star forward and the Longhorns at this juncture, and a union be...
