Yeah I’m actually on the Bassy train think it’s a nice pickup and I think he will do well , I’m thinking he averages over 12 a game as well as being a solid distributor in over 30 minutes as a starter and I've never seen him just 'give up' either...and I can't think of anyone on last year's team th...

Dan used to push publicly for what the program needed, has Archie said NIL is important to the program’s success? Has he been trying to drum up support among the fan base?

Here’s what I’ll say about Thomas. Experience and confidence are key to being an effective PG. You would hope some of those FR/SO year mistakes were due to trying to do too much and inexperience.

So in the scheme of things (at the moment) it seems we've traded Kortright and Hammond for Bassy and Lawrence. I'm not sure I like that trade, but can talk myself into it.

Archie is staying away from players with red flags.
