From 1988 (When Ferrell and Neal were Seniors) to 1990 (Lethal Weapon Three) GT was 8-6 in conference for three consecutive seasons. That was the last time GT had two consecutive >.500 ACC. We did it one other time before that: the '85 and '86 teams (Price and Salley's Junior and Senior...

Looks like a big, strong, pass-first point guard. Should be able to help on defense right away with teams with big guards. Not sure what kind of upside we have on the offensive end.

Supposedly, the the proposed "One Free Transfer" for every player-rule is likely to be ratified for this year's transfers. Anybody know when the final vote on that is going to take place? If for some reason, the rule does not pass, then Howard will have to sit a year.

Happiest guy in the room is Moses Wright, who gets to stay at the 4 instead of having to play out of position. On defense his addition of Howard is a sure positive. He is big enough to establish position in the paint which means we won't get summarily backed down for high percentage shots by...

Didenko looks way too heavy legged to guard on the wing. He is not tall and not a leaper but has some thickness. I thought we might have wanted to develop him as a thick/strong kid who would bang in the middle on defense but mostly be used to draw a post defender out of the paint on the...

Poor hands doesn't really work well for the way we use the Center on the offensive end. That is a big limitation for a basketball player. I thought the entire point of the transfer market was to plug the whole at the 5 for THIS coming season? Even if this player did get a waiver, is he any...

We live in the post-truth era where people do not trust authority, whether it be political or scientific or mass media. We are experiencing first hand the consequences in a age where people are inundated with information and we have no means to decipher what is fact, what is opinion what is...

A couple of potential ironies of our approach to slow the epidemic: As mentioned, one of the the ideas of why influenza epidemics peter-out spontaneously over time is that once a certain proportion of a community has been exposed, a threshold might be reached where there are enough immune...

It doesn't matter what the virulence of the bug is. Epidemics of infectious disease is part of the human condition and the greater the density of the population, the greater the effects will be. What is salient is that human labor is an intrinsic and critical component of the infrastructure...

In my eyes, Moses Wright is a pivotal player for next year because he is a player that could really push through and be an NBA prospect or could stagnate. He does some things very well but he is still not polished and versatile enough to be a star (who can produce while being the focus of the...

I see three big questions for next season: 1. Can Alvarado and Devoe stay healthy for an entire season? Both players have been fragile thus far. While it is nice in theory to say we should have depth, there is no way that we realistically can expect that there would be no drop-off with them...

True, Brey only played 7 guys significant minutes. And looking back, that is not unusual for them. If he makes it work then it can be done!

That was pretty typical of them this season, from what I saw. That team just seemed to lack juice, especially on defense. They will do what it takes to make sure that does not carry over to next year's team.

The bench taking a high-colonic begs the question, can a coach establish a "Get Old, Stay Old" program when he doesn't really play a bench? If developmental players are "in the pipe" then can you keep them and develop them but not play them? On the other hand, the developmental guys have to...

Wheeler. I think the coach was Doug Lipscomb.

I guess he really means it this time!

He looked to have potential to me but he was a project. I prefer to keep our guys, but as with Cole's spot, this opening represents an opportunity to recruit someone better. If we replace projects with other projects, that is probably not a good pattern. But if we replace them with more...

Personally, I look at facial expressions and body language on the bench. I fret over guys who are wearing "The Look." Price played early but his minutes tapered to zero and it didn't look like he was enjoying it. Moore also had periods where he had "The Look." Not Didenko, though. He looked...

The ACC lacks scoring stars at the top of the League. Otherwise, I think the ACC is fine. I think the "historically bad" narrative grew teeth because of some tough pre-season losses that effected the computer rankings and then were perpetuated by league parity. In other words, I think the rep...

Didenko's recruitment seemed odd, random and out of nowhere. But if I were to compile a list of recruits who did not pan-out, it would be Looooooong list. Cremins was a great recruiter but even he had more that his share, from Antoine Ford to Daryl Barnes to Sergio Lyuke.
