Probably neither, but you never know. Who currently do you think is the more draftable prospect?

It seems to me with the recent development of extreme roster volatility that talent retention may emerge as the single greatest key to high level winning in the game currently. The post season disappointments of both Duke and Kentucky, programs that have cornered the market on 5* high school...

What are the takes among us about the effects on the men's game of the portal and NIL? I intentionally link the two (NIL and the portal) because the effects on the game of the two changes seem to be synergistic. I thought going in that the increased player mobility combined with a free market...

Okay, so we know and the opposition knows that we don't have a back to the basket defender. VT and Pitt were just backing Ndongo down to the rim. ACC bigs play over the top of Claude. Dowuona cripples the O when he is on the floor. Does Stoudamire adjust and what does he do? Can we use...

So, why isn't Abram playing? Forget that we don't know, it is time for wild and baseless conjecture to fill in the down time between the holidays!

I'm looking at NCAA scores and there seem to be several teams playing non-school affiliated clubs? Kennesaw St v. Bearcats, George Mason vs. The Eagles, Central Michigan Vs. The Panthers, Northwestern St Vs. The Knights, Georgia St. Vs Another Eagles squad, Southern U vs. Wildcats, Oral...

Beating Duke is an obvious one, right? How about Kelly's talent on the boards? Where did that come from? George being a starter? Where did Coleman's shot go? Abram playing Solo Poole-level wild and getting 3 days in the dog house? Playing so much worse on the road than at home?

I thought I would share some general observations about the changes in college ball and see if it will generate some discussion. Like many GT MBB fans, I was imprinted on the exciting rise under Cremins 1982-1990. In my mind, this is how basketball, especially GT basketball, is "supposed" to...

Whiling-away the off season topic #2: How many players on this season's roster will average in double figures in points scored? If we have a dominant scorer this year, it will be unexpected. So, if we are going to be a decent scoring team it might well be via balanced scoring. Which...

Just to idle away the off-season, who will be the team's leading scorer this season? What we have returning makes this an interesting question! I guess that Deebo will get some if not the most votes. I have a dark horse pick. I am picking Tristan Maxwell.

When does Pastner un-cork the zone? We've only dabbled with the zone here and there but have predominantly played man-to-man (with so-so results). So, what is the deal here, is Pastner holding back playing our signature amoeba zone because: a. He is transitioning to being a Primarily...

There are a few coaches out there who run distinct systems consistently from year to year and exploit the distinctiveness of those schemes to create difficulties for the opposition. In comparison, most coaches run more standard schemes that they adapt to and feature the best talent that they...

Our coach has already exceeded the projected ceiling of many skeptical GT fans. Time for a Ceiling adjustment. Have we reached the ceiling this last season? Can we sustain that? Or are greater heights in store for GT fans?

With ongoing discussion of whether or not Pastner can recruit, it brought to mind that throughout GT's history in the ACC, recruiting has sputtered and soared, regardless of the coach. We all like to bask in the glories of Price, Salley, Dalyrmple, Ferrell, Hammonds, Scott, Anderson, Mackey...

I posted these thoughts in the Louisville game thread and a couple of fonts expressed interest. So, I'll paste a long Hive post as a separate topic in case folks want to discuss/critique it: Coach Pastner made an interesting remark in a recent presser that he decided to simply scrap the...
