    This is true, but I'm sure the Mississippi State guys remembered losing to a team they probably felt they shouldn't have lost to a year ago, and they played a little harder.

    2024 offseason

    Good grief....LOL Is it just me, or does LNJ seem a lot less confident in his original projection?? What happened to not being a significant contributor? I accept the bet (whatever it is). Unless he gets injured and misses significant time, he's going to average double figures from beginning...

    I'll do both... You determine the structure of the bet and I'm in. That's how confident I am here. He will split minutes with DP, but I feel like he is likely a day 1 starter due to his shooting ability. Either way, he's a key part of the rotation.

    @leatherneckjacket and I go way back to the days of the HIVE Open board. He and I have butted heads before, so I have probably earned my reputation with him. I know he's a loyal GT supporter, so we always have common ground. That said, I wholeheartedly disagree with him here. So, how about...

    I swear.. this society gets softer by the day. If the word asinine hurt LNJ's feelings, I'm sorry. Being that he is a former leatherneck, I'm sure his skin is a bit thicker than that.

    I'm sure that you will be the first to come back and say that your asinine projection was off by a wide margin.

    I'm not suggesting that he wasn't high on Baye. He absolutely was, but he also tried hard to manage the expectations surrounding him. I listen to every press conference and every media opportunity, and while he was high on him in the preseason, I do not recall DS saying that he an opportunity...

    2024 offseason

    So a year ago, Ebenezer Dowuona averaged 9.6 minutes and Ibrahim Sacko managed 11.4, but a 4 star C and one of our 2-3 worthy big's won't get more than 4... Got it. Heck, even ole Emmer Nichols averaged 2 minutes per game, so you essentially think that DO will be chained to the bench.

    DS has said that Doryan has a chance to be special. He didn't even say that about Baye last year. Don't be surprised at all to see him as a day 1 starter logging big minutes (20+). DO and The Shagman are going to be a hellva rotation for us.

    2024 offseason

    Yes, the grind caught up with him, but I don't think that it was him wearing down as much as it was other programs figuring out he was our engine. Once they realized that they needed to make him shoot it, it took him a few games to get his legs into his shot. Then he became deadly off the...

    This makes more sense. He is easily the worst GT reporter of the 3-4 writers that closely follow GT. I stopped paying for that **** site many years ago, but I'd be hard pressed to believe he had an inkling of an idea of what lied ahead for Nait George unless someone shared it with him.

    Nait George should be forever grateful to Amaree Abram. Abram's poor work ethic and inability to throw it in the ocean opened the door for Nait. Credit Nait for taking full advantage of it and never looking back, but I do not recall any whispers about him getting PT, much less cracking the...

    2024 offseason

    I was gonna say, let's not anoint DO based off of a Jon Rothstein tweet. His "source" probably saw one practice or a series of plays and said that. Doryan is going to do what most freshmen do. He's going to have some great moments, and I'm sure there will be some head scratching moments...

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    I could see him being deadly on baseline lobs and dunks when the defense collapses on Baye, or when Nait gets into the lane. The rim-running alone could ramp our offense. He was sprinting up and down the court like a deer.

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    If he has been able to add size AND maintain any of that athleticism, I would tend to agree with you. Often being the biggest person on the floor, he was all over the court! He is a big unknown for us next season. Most don't know much about him. I'm not sure anyone outside of the team and...

    I'd definitely take a stab at us making the tournament. They typically release other odds closer to the tournament. Also, what are the odds on the ACC Tournament? Or ACC Regular Season? I'd take a flyer on either of those.
