Javian McCollum remains out. Reeves unlikely to play. No word on Sutton, but can’t expect much contribution if he is available simply based on time missed and lack of experience. Can’t dwell on winning or losing today. Where is Baye Ndongo’s head & heart is my question and issue. Conference...
Hoiberg did it not once, but twice at Iowa State, returning a second time to what he had already built once as a powerhouse. No surprise that he brought a quick fix But he is a legacy coach with deep roots into midwest connections. Tech has no legacy coach for basketball to immediately impact &...
At least. And with additional headwinds of anything goes NIL/transfer portal it is a difficult to impossible job that he was recruited for. He didn’t apply for this spot His guys are George, Ndongo, Soaure, the only voluntary frosh holdovers; Mustaph, DO & Sutton. The rest are best we can get...
Baye Ndongo was our freshman sensation last season. We all dreaded the thought of him being drafted and breathed a collective sigh of relief when he returned. He was a pre-season top 75 ranked Division 1 player. Our only elite. He is not making 6’ jump shots. He is not finishing at the rim. His...
Unfortunately, it’s been reported that McCollum did not even travel to Norman for the game. He needs to be symptom free just to rejoin practice. Started the season thinking you have a nice team deep enough in talent to cover foul trouble and needed blows. But only elite programs stocked with...
Injuries figure big on GT ability to take on elite teams. Would be nice to get McCollum, Reeves & Sutton back. Even with an ok to play, being away from practice & game action makes it tough to immediately impact on return. Foul trouble needs to be avoided with a thin roster so defense might be...
The Central Arkansas high% first half three shooting might have resulted from a less than robust perimeter defense for protection against early foul trouble that threatened to derail the CSU game with McCollum out. Against CSU the team came out with a very aggressive D, no doubt resulting from...
Pregame NCAA injury report listed
McCollum-out (head)
Reeves-out (ankle)
Sutton-out (hamstring)
Plus O’Brien is not playing @ 100% yet from his ankle injury.
The one position Georgia Tech has a long and great depth chart for can be found in the Swarm. Monday-morning (occasionally Saturday-morning) Quarterback. Lotsa really good ones here.
I thought Stoudamire wanted Kelly to stay, but his NIL package was being reduced based on performance decline related to his being the obvious target of defenses. CDS did not control the NIL and attempted to assist Kelly in finding a good landing spot. I’m not an insider so no idea if any of...
In his post-game presser, CDS referenced him being pulled by the trainer out of caution. Sounded like it was not serious and he would be ready to play Saturday.
With 18 basketball schools in the ACC plus UGA we’ve got enough mascots to go around to nickname every player on our team. You changed my mind. It’s actually a great idea. We could have our very own Demon Deacon Duncan. BTW, many of my more sophisticated friends who wear knot-free panties always...
“Mustang” is not a great metaphor when referencing any member of a GT sports team any more so than a Hurricane, Blue Devil, Tiger, Panther or Bulldog. SMU is now a conference foe/rival. Just sayin’.
No positives in a loss; no negatives in a win.
GT 91 CS 67, needs a little context:
Clemson 91 CS 64
NF 90 CS 66
LSU 77 CS 68
McCollum out entire game for concussion protocol
O’Brien played but still recovering from ankle injury
Reeves only 14 minutes pulled by trainer (undisclosed injury)...
Marbury repeated his recruitment story more recently with Carmelo Anthony. Fun interview. They ultimately ponder whether Boeheim & Cremins were in cahoots. Boeheim wasn’t going to start him & certainly didn’t want him going to St. John’s. Cremins wouldn’t have wanted him to end up at North...
