We only lose the Princeton Transfer at one Guard sport from last season. Do we have a guy slotted in there yet or is there an open competition? Who are the legit candidates for the OG spot? Could any of the other returning starters get pushed? As a former OL, Key seems to favor continuity...

Thought you might have had to hock a Lugie?

True Freshman Jordan Boyd went from 6'3" 220 linebacker recruit to a 6'3" 260 lbs DL. True Freshman Uche Iloh went from 6'6" 245lbs recruit to 6'5" 275 lbs DL

I won't argue with any of that. As for Sutton, I am admittedly heavily biased in my favoring players with high game IQ and court awareness. Those are the guys who make the players around them better, are less susceptible to defensive breakdowns and facilitate good team offense. Maybe my take...

My impression is that Ndongo didn't play the 4 last year because he couldn't shoot but because no one else on the roster could play the 5. He was our Center by default. He shot only 12 three pointers and made 4 of them. I'm not sure that I'm seeing anyone "pining" for a traditional 5, but...

That is an interesting take. I guess one could make an argument that the same has been true since James Banks left and Moses Wright had to slide over to Center and Usher had to man the 4. If Onwuchekwa can play C adequately and that allows Ndongo to slide over to the 4, does that solve the...

He's smooth on the handle, fluid in his movement and has a soft release on his shot. The thing is, post play in the ACC is PHYSICAL. That will be the big adjustment, can he execute that stuff being bumped and leaned on by ACC sized bodies? If he is ready for that and can defend and...

The way it looked to me last season is that Stoudamire gave everyone a chance to play and he allowed them to play their way OUT of the rotation. When a guy played his way out of the rotation, he never really got back in. Sometimes that was early in the season (Abram, Dowuona) and sometimes it...

Who do you have at the 5?

I suppose if you recruit a bunch of massive but immobile recruits and run a zone scheme with them (or the opposite, recruit small mobile OL and then try to maul with them), then scheme might be a significant factor. But overall, when it comes to the line of scrimmage, I don't think scheme is...

It might be possible to clarify the "true" center debate by categorizing them by weight, I know this is somewhat arbitrary but work with me: 1. There are the guys 275+ pound guys that are really rare. These are the guys who are both tall and wide. The Centers in the other categories will make...

Our roster is put together like a dougnut, with mostly Freshmen and Seniors (and 2 core sophs). As others have predicted, I expect to see a lot of rotation in the line-up, at least until a group establishes itself as the team core. It never really happened last season. That said, to start...

Seems to me that it is typical of power conference teams and also the good mid-major teams to have players big enough to defend the rim at the 5. Being able to meet dribble penetration by smaller perimeter players with a shot blocker and the ability not to get muscled down low are important...

Onwuchekwa is a pivotal player this year. If he is ready to produce, then that sends playing time ripples throughout the rest of the roster. More specifically, can Onwuchekwa defend the post in the ACC? If he can do that, then that takes a lot of heat off of Ndongo who is not well suited to...

Any one remember this jewel of a presser?

That sounds like the NFL and MLB also. For MLB, they are prioritizing home grown talent and a deep and productive minor league system. The draft is the lifeblood of NFL teams. For all the leagues, franchises depend on production from players on their first contract. Could the Star System...

That's so good. Here's another: If someone hasn't asked for editorial help, don't impose oneself in that capacity. Because it can make one come across as a total

Well, when he goes into "stream of consciossness" mode, yeah, but not all his works are like that. Check out "As I Lay Dying." He plays with the reader about who the protagonist and antagonist are, like a who dunnit, as the story unfolds. Never read anything like it, Big win, that one is...

It's the phones.
