No one will care about this, but figured I'd throw in a name I like: Brian Earl
I did quick look at Kenpom and he does have them top 90 in offense efficiency. That’s good for a school like that. However, the defense is 311.

Jalen Reed probably gets a medical this year and comes back as a redshirt Junior. He seems to me like a player who could really develop in a 5th year.
yeah, I believe he was injured early enough. I don’t really know anything about his family life to know if he feels like he needs to go pro or move on to whatever else is next to support them.

Considering he was likely to win the Naismith this season, just think how good he’ll be next year.

Lol, ward is coming back and averaging 30 as well.

It’s well known that Chest’s limited play is due to him not buying into the team.

But there’s a method behind it. It’s more than fine to bash players you just can’t critique a coach and bashing a player to deflect responsibility from a coach is a right of passage for some groups.

That post followed PK saying he can’t dribble so he didn’t need to be in the floor lol. He also said Mike Williams doesn’t play anymore because he can’t dribble.

ah, I remember that. I had never heard anyone say anything about his dribble until then.
He’s got a nice spin move from the baseline, it’s a tough move to guard for big guys, I was going to post a timestamp but it became too much work try and find them.

He read someone post that Williams had a 4 turnover game once so he decided he was going to say he can’t dribble. Just for reference Tremont Waters averaged 3.5 turnovers a game one year so I guess he can’t dribble either.

Speaking of, you think we see a little more of him tonight? He’s still confident.
I just don’t know why we don’t see him when sears is struggling.

Pre season coach says he was moving back to SG, his natural position so I’m not even sure he’s worked at PG this year. I hope he plays, he’s a solid player.

Look, you want to lump a whole bunch of people into some bad takes you can't make up stuff and just pick some odd poster.

Are there other people that were stupid enough to believe Darius days would have been better off transferring elsewhere prior to his senior season at lsu, or was that just you?

Comparing UK Basketball to LSU’s is comparable to diamonds and gravel.

Biggest reason UK can be so successful in year one… passionate, positive, knowledgeable FANS!!

LSU MBB fans suck!

Well that’s a bit dramatic

I think you are overvaluing the fans a little bit. Knowledgable fans don’t have anything to do with success year 1 or any year.

Well I don’t have an argument there.

That's because it's dumb to call him bad for his lack of dribbling. That's not his archetype as a player.

They made a smart hire and their fans criticized it. We didn’t make a smart hire and our “fans” loved it.

Well, I know around a bakers dozen of them on TD out of 285,392 registered accounts.

However, teams can be successful without any real fan support. Usually what happens is that coach steps up to larger programs.

My point is success isn't tied to fan support.

Where is rds game thread? If he doesn't start it, please someone else do it. TIA.

Btw, halftime of MSU @ AUB laughing at our upcoming game. Something has to give 0-3 versus 0-3.

It's nowhere near true. The #1 sport on campus for at least half of Dale's tenure was basketball.
