I don't think that approach is in CDS's playbook. He is much more of a perimeter approach - keep the lane open - and have a mobile big roll hard to the hole off of a high screen. I can't see him doing an old school UNC double post approach.

For what it’s worth I doubt CDS would have recruited Edy if he could have. I don’t think he wants to run a back to the basket offense and he wants to be a lot faster as a team than Edy would allow him to be. Just my opinion watching him

Players overall are more athletic and skilled (handle / shooting) than they were in the 80's. Agree that players who stay 4/5 or Covid 6 years are more physically developed than one and done guys but IMHO that isn't the biggest issue. The much more widespread ability to shoot from beyond the 3...

I buy one of your arguments but not the other. So I guess I’m batting 500 which puts me in the Hall of Fame😎 Lammers was very good at getting the ball at the high post and facilitating. But he was getting it with his back to the basket and turning and shooting or looking to pass after that. He...

I will put forward an alternative view. With this roster I think we need a 4 who can stretch the floor but also provide some defensive rebounding and defense. That is the hole we have in the roster right now. I know folks are thinking about rim defense but our offensive system makes the 5...

I thought the issue for foreign students isn't the NCAA but federal law that says student visa holders can't earn money. Universities paying student visa holders directly still run afoul of the law as I understand it.

The quick thing this committee can say is no you are not on anyone’s draft list and conceptually here is why. I expect that is where Baye is but could be wrong The other easy thing is you are a lottery/first round pick. The gray area of second round pick versus undrafted free agent projection...

Yep - terrible problem to have talent on the roster. Always want to check out their options and cause stress/headaches in the offseason :cool: Not surprised Baye is checking on his options. I would too if I were him if just to get a review of what I need to work on. I expect it is shooting...

Nah - I think the NBA was better off when the Finals were on tape delay at 11:30 PM. Really enjoyed those games :ROFLMAO: Back to reality - the corollary is John Daley saying everyone on the PGA tour should give 10% of their earnings to Tiger Woods for him raising the purses and money in the...

Yep - thought he was in a good spot and that GT needed him to grow into that spot. Guess CDS has a shiny new piece he wants instead 🤷‍♀️

Edy's style is to bang the defender to get to his spot. He isn't quick enough to be subtle in any real way. No spin moves and only a couple of drop steps to the left hand. UConn tried to push him an extra step out and then sat hard on his left shoulder expecting Edy to pound them to get to...

UConn plays a lot like Virginia just much more perimeter oriented and with much better offensive players . They both use a screen and curl action that grind you for the whole 30 seconds of the clock.

Stories are out there that the NL commitment is a major part of why Cal would consider it. FYI Arkansas plays in the bud Walton Arena so I think the Waltons are pretty well committed to supporting the program

Cal with Tyson and Walmart NIL money will be pretty strong on the recruiting trail. 5 star guys know he puts guys in the league. I don't think they care location - more about who gets them where they want to go.

Purdue is proving if you don’t have to double Burns then NCSU has offensive issues
