re: MBB Portal Targets List

[quote]That does appear to be the biggest need right now. The staff must have confidence in Collins at center.[/quote]
I think it’s more confidence in Reed at the 5. He is a big body to set picks, he’s pretty good around the rim and he can shoot the 3. Collins is going to play in more of a “dunke...

I would be shocked if he doesn't visit again. During his recruitment out of High School, he was in BR a lot. We are a short drive, so I would think chances are really good. His old high school teammate, who I coached, is currently at Houston and they would actually be my favorite for him if they wer...

Yeah sort of, there's mutual interest I know, which I'm sure is nothing new because he would've been a Tiger had it not been for his uncle on the UW staff. His family keeps it very quiet, and not even his best fri...

So... provide examples like I asked and not just excuses.
Again, who hasn't McMahon developed?? Since the guys that came here we already as good as they are now, and Hannibal was as good this year as he was last year according to your statement.
Mike Williams did not start to develop when they...

[quote]but it's a stretch to say MM TURNED him into a legit SEC PG[/quote]
No. It's not. He won us games this year. Also take note of the mid-season development of Mike Williams as well as the leap Ward and Reed made. But yet.....who didn't he develop?

[quote]If McMahon MUST have his Center be a focal point of his offense,[/quote]
I wouldn't say MUST, we have yet to fully run his system because we have had to adjust based on personnel. Hannibal is not your typical pick and roll PG, or any PG for that matter and Baker, was decent on offense but ...

[quote]Disagree that Dean wouldn't fit the style. Dean may have run the floor better than any other big.[/quote]
I agree with him being able to run the floor some but he had stone feet in the pick and roll defensively and was limited to 5 feet from the basket. That can't happen with the type of s...

Posted by JWill409 on 4/11/24 at 9:48 pm
[quote]McMahon has talked about wanting to play fast. LSU did that to some degree this season and, in the process, turned the ball over a TON...which is why their offense was so inefficient. For his part, Sears was in the top 30 in the nation in terms of most turnovers. Now, that has to be taken ...

[quote]Well, there goes the "he can't recruit elite players/transfers outside of Louisiana" narrative.
Sears is a solid pickup but is not elite. Last season, he had a BPR of 2.15, playing against weak competition. For reference, Hannibal rated out at 2.96.[/quote]
Well, this is where statist...

Posted by JWill409 on 4/11/24 at 2:04 pm
[quote]guess the operative question is whether or not Sears is "elite"?
Best case scenario, McMahon has finally found the PG to fully execute his offense the way he envisions it being run.
Worst case scenario, this is Justice Hill 2.0 and the small stature and mid-major production don't transl...

re: Wesley Yates III enters the portal

Just a year ago, we were complaining about guards, and now we are going to turn away a top 50 recruit? For what? This isn't 1996, teams especially in college run 3 guards and 2 forwards. This year we pushed the pace quite a bit and had an issue with our guards fatigued at the end of the year yet you...

Yep. He's more of a Jordan Wright type of player rather than a Mike Williams. He is definitely worth a roster spot, can play both G/F at thi...

Was out all year at Washington due to injury but was the #43 overall prospect in 2022 and the #5 SG. Had LSU in his Final 2 Schools. Only picked Washington because of his Uncle who was on the coaching staff. I coached a ton of his older high school teammates and I feel very confident in us getting h...
