No actually, lots of guys really can’t catch a pitch from an MLB pitcher.
I was pretty excited they won. Only one thing left to do......win the whole Fing thingLet's toast to needing more edits to the thread title!
Not to mention a former Gopher assistant coach, who was roundly criticized for having a criminal record, as the top assistant for the presumptive favorite of the day to win it all. We need to get tougher on crime! Drugs!
And none on the roster...
Who's that?
Hurt subbed in for Coffey because we wanted his brother to come here. He wouldn't have seen the floor otherwise.
Kimani Young is Hurley's associate head coach at Connecticut.
Although he's the one that wanted Jelly instead of Wright.
I hope you were not referring to the BIG as the "big boy leagues".
Much appreciated!
There is something fundamental about the Big Ten that doesn't work in March Madness. I don't understand basketball anywhere near well enough to know what it is. But people allude to various things every year.
Will be interesting to see if USC and UCLA will need to adapt to the Big Ten or if the Big Ten teams will start to evolve their style of play.
Very good point. Maybe that can be the impetus needed to start "the change".
Or they just keep adding teams to the conference until one wins the championship?
There are all kinds of theories. One is that Big Ten play is essentially rugby, and then the teams get into the tournament and are forced to play basketball.
If I could make an analogy, when Tiller became the head FB coach at Purdue with his philosophy of "Basket Ball on grass" which used the forward pass in short yardage and the spread offense into the BIG, he dragged the BIG into the modern era of college FB.
He didn't though.
I would point out they didn't play on the same team, but your point stands. Greenlee played the previous season with the Gophers. Pitino had an issue developing players who weren't ready from day 1. Ben seems to be the same. Gets fixated on the 5-7 guys who play the most and forgets about everyone else. Then the forgotten ones transfer and have success elsewhere.
Who has CBJ had transfer out that had success elsewhere? TT is the only one who is transferring after being "forgotten about" and let's face it, he was not good.
Thiam and Thompson are the only two transfers I put on Ben due to neglect so far. Nobody thought Greenlee was good when he transferred. Very similar to thiam, the only time he got time as a freshman was not pretty so he got buried and then basically forgotten. I think TT could have been better if he had a consistent role off the bench, but that's just me. Instead, he got benched, buried, and has now transferred. We will see what kind of players they will become in the next one to two seasons.
I think CBJ has done a good job developing players offensively. Defensive is a different story.
I hope so. The only two players to have played a second year under Johnson, battle and Thompson, regressed in shooting percentage and transferred. I want the players returning this year to have a better result.
True. But the freshmen were all shooting better towards the end of the year, especially free throws. Here's to hoping for progress
I'm 100% serious when say I could never understand the lack of minutes for Mutaf.....that team desperately needed shooting when Gabe first hit his shooting slump. Mutaf could shoot and was not afraid.
