What happened in the locker room at the half?

In a quick glance at Clayton State, their C is a preseason all-conference selection. Should be a nice little warm-up for Big Rot-ney! Hope to see us blow their doors off, but will be watching for the following: 1. Our style of play - do we get out and run, how well do we move the ball, etc...

Only thing I disagree with is your position on Deebo. IMO, I think that he is our most likely candidate on the team to become a +ACC starter. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that this is Deebo's team by end of year. Make no mistake, Kelly is going to be a strong player for us, he will be...

Wasp hit the nail on the head in one of his post IMO. Our success this year will depend on the hustle board stats. Two biggest being 50/50 balls and “Kills” (three consecutive stops on D), with our ability to rebound being third. If we have a gritty, scrappy identity, this team will exceed...

Ha, my son and I were standing right beside you when you taking the selfie with Deivon. It was a lot of fun!

Great event today, especially for the fans. All the players and coaches were very accessible. Great group of young men representing GT, and they really pass the eyeball test. All appear to be in excellent shape. Cyril (pronounced Qyril) is a mammoth dude. Put some weight on him and he’s gonna...

Meh - I was simply responding to your assertion that we struggle to achieve 50%. If you’re talking about the entire season..maybe, but I’d be willing to bet you that no ACC game (other BC or maybe VT) or P5 non conference opponent, that wasn’t a 9PM game, had less 6000. Look, I’m not going to...

Couldn't agree more and this is the portion of the base that does the most bitching and complaining too.

With all due respect, you gave one example. Over the last 5-6 years, I haven't missed many home games and outside of Louisville or maybe UNC or Cuse, it is not close. Their fans travel well. The non-conference games against Florida A & M and the likes have seen dreadful crowds, but any game...

Forgot how deadly Adam Smith was shooting it from deep!

Nice thread... I'm interested to see what everyone brings to the table. One of my favorite memories was the game that Josh Okogie hit the buzzer beating lay-up to beat #14 Notre Dame in Josh's first year. This was my daughters first game in the ThrillerDome and she was hooked after this one...

Agreed.. That and our ability to rebound. Defense and rebounding are my two biggest questions marks, with ball security third, coming into the season. We really should be able to put points on the board this year.

Had a chance to speak briefly with Josh and ask him about the scrimmage. He didn't give me much, but he did say the following: We shot the ball really well thus far in practice and in the scrimmage over the weekend. We have shooters all over the floor and will be a very good shooting team...

Just bought four in section 100. Let's go Jackets!

In fairness, we don't know if the 80 points was over the course of a regular game or not. Teams often play different rules/etc. to get different looks. In short, it is best to put as little stock as possible into this thread. The only "good" news - as far as I'm concerned - is that we scored...

Unless we had heard that it was Vandy that scored 80, then the sky would be falling.

Josh said that for us to have a solid season, Rodney needs to be in the discussion for most improved player in the ACC. That should give an indication of how important he is to our team.

I don't think that anyone is saying to blow it off...I think that everyone is saying why bang on the coach over those projections when they largely uninformed. Every year, these "experts" miss on their projections. Outside of the top 4-5 teams, they are largely guessing what to expect...

Just realized that I did not respond. See my thoughts below: 1.) So do you think this offense hurts his recruiting similar to the football option offense? No, I don't think that the offense has hindered his ability to recruit. These days, kids want to run and shoot three's, big men no longer...

The 1-on-1's that Kelly Quinlan posted on his YouTube channel are must watch interviews for GT fans. He does a terrific job of asking him all the right questions. It's going to be a lot of fun watching this team come together.
