And I know a Georgia Tech legacy family who, with their name previously on a Tech athletic facility, has called the president and the athletic director wanting to give millions of $$ and do not get a call back. A missed opportunity. Maybe alumni money is not what they are interested in as...

No. Carter was commissioned an air force officer at the Air Force Academy last June and the Air Force is paying for his masters program in operations research at Tech and he had another covid year of eligibility and walked onto the basketball team.the other walk-ons Emmer Nicholson broke his leg...

No one had quit the team if they show up. The coaches still get paid a bunch and the players on a scholarship contract worth over $85,000 a year still are on scholarship and obligated to play until they quit the team. The three walk-ons, playing for the fun of the game, are the only ones not...

Attitude with a sledge hammer! .

Google says, "College football signing day was February 7, 2024 for prospective student-athletes signing 2023-24 and enrolling 2024-25. Prospective athletes have through April 1, 2024 for D1 football and August 1, 2024 for D2 football.".

Good call Leatherneck. Of Georgia Tech's 44 out of over 450 letter winners drafted by the NBA or preceding pro leagues (~1%), from 7 -footer Tiny Hearn in 1930 to Josh Okogie in 2018, Mark has the best pro career Box Minus Plus Score of all our NBA draftees. As discussed earlier, BPM is an...

I guess I am still a student of today's basketball trying to figure out this "style" of offense called " Pro Style" that I was not familiar with. I admit I played 50 years ago and modeled my jump shot from watching Jerry West on black and white TV. And I coached 40 years ago modeling my...

Amos Alonzo Stagg first said that after the University of Chicago's game against Wabash in 1905.” “Statistics are for losers and assistant coaches. Head coaches worry about wins and losses.” There is no doubt that statistics are meaningful, but Coach Stoudamire is concerned more about wins and...

The recent NCAA rules of governing NIL activity looks to me like they are trying to have more transparency in both schools and athletes knowing the NIL valuation of a student and to assist the student regarding NIL, after they are enrolled. With the recent recruiting violation cases being...

Emmer had it going until he broke his leg in practice last Friday coming down from a dunk on one leg, breaking the tibia and fibula with compound fracture. He will be out for the season and likely be a medical red shirt this year. Will be stronger with his new titanium leg.

I am now beginning to put things together about this team and coach. I heard Coach Stoudamire mention his concept is the 5-out offense. Many of these new basketball terms are unfamiliar to me and most are a spinout of what we ran last century, like the motion offense and the...

Needing patience and time is again essential to get where everyone's expectations are met. It seems only yesterday last century that there would be probably the same discussions (if we had online chat rooms) about a 34 year old little-heard-of coach in his second head coaching job named...

Yea Charlie, the football team had all the new stuff. We round ballers only had white Chuck Taylor high tops. And the Adidas show was pronounced two words Adi-Das for the name of the shoe company owner (Adolph (Adi) Dassler, still pronounced as adi das in Germany today. Adi started his...

Yunkus went against the twin towers Gilmore and Burroughs and was the game's leading scorer. They beat us by 5 in a back and forth game. Some clippings are here. Jacksonville and UCLA played in the NCAA finals in 1970 and we lost in the NIT quarterfinals. Yunkus outscored every center he...

Thank you awbuzz. Georgia Tech alumni and fans are the greatest fans in the world.

Recruited from Illinois by assistant coach Dwane Morrison, Rich was considered one of the top three players in the country out of high school in 1967. At 6-9 &1/2, he measured almost 7 foot span. With the Lew Alcinder no-dunk rule in effect, he took advantage of that by a high release of his...

I think I am beginning to see what the team is being taught and beginning to do on the court. Coach's background is built around the basketball 101 fundamentals of the screen, involving 2 or more players, being the player with the ball, the screener, and the other three being in place to take...

To specifically answer your question about the two halves. BC's first half was well below their average stats in all areas and Georgia Tech was making 3 pointers like never before and our "big man" was not defended well inside. As averages go, Tech was not going to shoot as well the second...

Basketball is a team sport of 5 players on the court at any one time. Defense is played both on the ball and off the ball, all 5 doing their part, whether it is a zone defense or a man-to-man defense. Good teams play both historically. I know today that fans get excited about 3-pointers...

MtnWasp, what I saw in the BC game was a team coming to Atlanta ready to play and playing for a full 40 minutes. Coach Earl Grant, who played his college ball at D2 Georgia college in Milledgeville 1998-2000 and likely put lots of focus on this game in his home state. Our team is not...
