    Lineup for 2022-23

    I was pleasantly surprised watching the practice videos posted on ramblinwreck. Martynov looks much more agile than Saba ever was and he looks every bit of 7 feet. And Terry looks much more athletic than I thought. For some reason I thought he was more of a perimeter player. He may be another...

    GTWBB 2022 (Off-season thread)

    Back in February Collins gave a verbal to the dwags. I assume she recommitted. Any idea why? Coaching change?

    When does Pastner feel heat

    Now you have me confused. You say you don't think we should have extended his contract but then you say we should let him run a few more seasons and see what happens. Since his extension was only for a few more seasons (through '25-'26) then aren't you arguing a moot point?

    Who will be our leading scorer this year?

    I thought I read somewhere that Coleman had slimmed down quite a bit to improve is mobility and speed for both offense and defense. If true then his height and size wouldn't be much different than Kelly or some of the other guys when it comes to playing the 4. I am hoping maybe we have a hidden...

    GT Vollebees

    Looking at the voters (coaches) you have to wonder if some of them even bother to watch the scores. A few of them have Ohio State in the top 5 even after they went 0-2 this weekend (granted both losses were to #1 Texas but they only managed to win 1 set total). Then you have others, like the...

    GTWBB 2022 (Off-season thread)

    The assumption by everyone is it has to do with playing time but, in fact, it could be a number of other reasons like being homesick, school not a good fit, etc. Does anyone know she is on the transfer portal? Also, isn't Melious a 2 guard? All that being said, I agree that her play as the year...

    When does Pastner feel heat

    You don't think a large rowdy home crowd helps the team win? You don't think ticket revenue helps the cause at all? It sure doesn't hurt. Although I question whether a few of the posters on here wouldn't go just to boo Pastner and the team at the first sign of trouble.

    If our two Final Four squads played in a seven game series, who comes out on top?

    The one exception that could have turned the tide in favor of the '04 squad was if any of the lethal weapon three got in foul trouble. '04 had much more depth. You had guys like Jack, Elder, Schenscher, McHenry, Muhammed, Bynum, Marvin Lewis, Robert Brooks and Clarence Moore. We were able to...

    When does Pastner feel heat

    And despite the huge disparity in athletic budgets we still beat them in both men's and women's basketball, baseball, volleyball, softball and golf.

    New Pro Jackets Progress

    Sounds like he is in a hitting slump. ;)

    When does Pastner feel heat

    I don't remember us being projected to win 9 ACC games in ACC play that first year. I seem to remember folks in the media wondering if we could win a single ACC game. The fact we made it to the NIT and came within a game of winning it was nothing short of a miracle based on the roster we had.

    GT Vollebees

    I feel like the experience she got with the Brazilian national team this summer will bring some added aggressiveness to her game. Her skills are phenomenal. Any word on how the incoming transfers Tali Marmen and Tamara Otene look? Wondering if they will be a strong part of the rotation this...

    2022-2023 Roster

    Plus a nice commit yesterday from a 2023 catcher/outfielder Nathanael Coupet out of Boynton Beach, FL. Looks like another power hitter in our future.

    2022-2023 Roster

    Maybe he could be used like Tristan English. I'm told the kid is a pretty strong hitter at 6'4". Regardless, it's nice to have options.

    2022 Transfer Portal

    I think we also got an infielder from Wofford by the name of John Dempsey who hit .356 last year as a starter. And a catcher from Tennessee who redshirted last year by the name of Nathan Smith (played for the East Cobb Astros).

    2022-2023 Roster

    I think Stanford starts in the outfield which moves Reid to DH. I would put Medich in the weekend rotation if he has another year unless Finateri has overcome his control issues over the summer. I agree with all of the infield spots unless one of the freshmen come out of nowhere to take a job.

    2022-2023 Women's Basketball expectations

    Wondering what the rest of you think about our women's team's chances this year. I'm optimistic, I think we will surprise a lot of people. I think the incoming freshmen are about as good a recruiting class as we have seen under coach Nell. Tonie Morgan is probably the first true point guard we...

    Lineup for 2022-23

    I remain hopeful as always. With the transfers and the two kids signing the past several days I think we have more options than we have had in years' past. I agree that we might be better without the offense depending on two guys while the rest stood around and watched last year. Today's...

    Moses Wright

    I would say going from .63 points per min to 1.04 PPM is a significant increase.

    2022 MLB Draft

    Not being negative at all. Go back and look at the original post where I stated I hope he takes it as motivation and has a strong season next year. I merely pointed out that he wasn't having a phenomenal year, which I think 7 hits in 6 games proves to be true, and that when he came back from...
