Is the Jerry Colangelo Classic a tournament or does each team play just one game?

Penny sniffing around for an NBA job won't sit to well with Memphis fans even if he stays. Might not sit well with recruits either

#23 is Meka

Bubba, Saba and either Kyle or Tristan are not photographed. I wouldn't be surprised if Saba took the photo since he is almost always with the guys. Bubba is a papa now, so he may not be allowed out with the guys any more. Kyle is an engineering major, so he might be studying. Yeah, trying...

The group photo linked by dtm gives us an imperfect but decent look at the height of the newcomers. the photo of Devoe and Khalid together give us a standard. Devoe has been listed at 6'5" and Khalid at 6'7" Khalid looks to have Devoe by a couple of inches at the shoulder and so we can take...

Really? The concept of a face-up 4 is hazy to you? Hammonds, Bosh and Forrest are good GT examples. Thaddeus Young would have been a great example had he not played out of position. Robert Carter Jr would have also been a good example. They are players with enough size to defend in the post...

We're missing the classic scoring, face-up 4. Still, I'd rather have perimeter talent than size at this level. We went to the championship game in 2004 with Anthony McHenry at the 4 and a Final 4 in 1990 with 6'8" Malcom Mackey and 6'9" Johnny McNeil as our front court. In terms of...

Doesn't the list state 2020-2021 season? If it is for next year, why is Carlik Jones on the list?

Ummm, not to micturate in the party's punch bowl, but how is that ranking derived? How is Alvarado not on that list? I'll stick to the narrative, Devoe is a good player but he has not been an elite defensive player.

The "I'm Back" comment is exactly the type of response to a tough year that we would need to see. It shows that he hasn't given up and is going to try to make a push. Good for him. Notice in the photo that a defender is wearing jersey # 10. That was Jose's number. Is that Coleman? I think...

Krzyzewski was 14-26 against Dean Smith.

Meka is giving the "this is NOT what I ordered" face. Saba always looks like he is in a good mood.

That is not my recollection of that game. their frontcourt of Kurtwood and Uguak only scored 14 points in that game. They actually adjusted by going small. They shot 48% in the first half and 46.8% in the second. Their adjustments were on defense. We shot over 57% for the game but could only...

Small ball can play half court offense by spreading the floor. The idea is to make opposing bigs defend on the perimeter or have to cover a lot of space away from the paint, which is not what they want to be doing. If they stay low, that leaves open a perimeter shooter. If they come out, that...

My thinking is that you fit your scheme to the best five players. I don't think you leave your third best player on the bench to play your 7th best player to make a position or scheme fit. Better talent creates the match-up difficulties regardless of size or position. A super-talented small...

47.6% from the floor as a soph, 45.6% as a Junior 42.7% from three as a Soph, 40.0% as a Junior. He had a difficult start to the year and was often quite frustrated. Except for the turnovers (which is important) he stagnated. He's a heavy legged guard and not a great defender. Devoe is a...

I am hopeful that the ability of Sturdivant and Smith to break down ball pressure and get into the lane will really help Devoe (and Usher) to get some easy buckets so that our scorers and are not left to constantly create their own shots. I'd like to see Devoe get more spot-up three attempts...

Whether a team wins or loses is not a function of who is not on the team but the players who are on the team. Even if Devoe happens not to return, Gt still will have five 4* players to man spots 1-4. That is more talent than Gt has had in a long time. Just because they are not yet proven does...

The issue boils down to whether the balance sheet favors a higher probability of a good loss versus a lower probability of a bad loss. If you project your team will be better later in the season than early, then if you schedule a light schedule out of the gate, then you could still be facing an...

The most pertinent date is the deadline to withdraw from the draft, which I believe is July 29th this year. We may not be sure which of any of our guys are coming back for several more weeks.
