Armon Gates has really gotten around. He has coached at Northwestern, Oklahoma, Kent State, Loyola-Chicago, Oregon, and Nebraska.
I hope he is a good fit here and can put down some roots!
Meechie Johnson seems confident he will get a 6th year. His argument is this season at Ohio State shouldn't count, because he had mental health issues and left the team after playing in 10 games.
Dawson Garcia left UNC after 16 games in 2021-2022 because of a sick family member in Minnesota. If...
From watching his highlight clip he looks more like 175 than 185. Thin as a rail. But very fluid and athletic.
I liked seeing him cutting and driving, not just floating. I’m very excited about him and hope he can be one of our key pieces the next 2 years.
For those confused by the tweet, his freshman year was at Little Rock and he transferred to CSU for last season.
Nice to see him become a 3PT threat, shooting 35% on 4 attempts per game last season.
He went from shooting 47% (43% 3PT) his sophomore year in 19 minutes per game...to shooting 37% (33% 3PT) this year in 23 minutes per game. I wonder what caused the drop. He did improve his FT% from 80 to 85%.
I’m curious what his handle is on the Hole. He pretends to be an insider but I think he just subscribes to Gophers Illustrated and makes lots of predictions that he pretend are inside info.
I agree on one level that if you are bad at shooting threes, you should shoot fewer of them.
However, CBJ also assembled this roster and implemented this offense.
I am looking forward to Niko’s offense and roster construction.
I just looked up FT% and we were 337th (at 66.4%), Colorado State was 26th (at 77.5%).
Also notable was 3PT shooting rate, CSU shot the 68th most on the season (855 attempts at 36.3%) and we were at 295th (649 attempts at 32.2%).
This has been my position for some time. It’s not that the U administration supported him so poorly, he was either unwilling or unable to fundraise and build excitement for his program.
Semi related point: I have taught at a couple of the Breck/Blake style schools in the country and the Head of...
Pitino also had Kevin Dorsey get in trouble, and Jarvis Johnson never play. Coffey season ending injury. He seemed to gamble on character and was a bit snake bitten by injury.
I just discovered Dain Dainja is playing for Memphis against our Colorado State Rams tomorrow.
He averaged an impressive 14 points/7 rebounds on 62% shooting this year.
