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. I would expect some of that part of his game to be cleaned up. Can’t forget there where moments of his ...

All 13 of Arkansas' scholarship players from last season have either exhausted their eligibility, entered the transfer portal or are departing for the NBA draft, leaving Calipari a fresh slate.

Gee...I wonder if Cal will be able to recruit anyone to fill the roster in time? </s>

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. For next year (and that's all you can count on), I think it's a slam dunk upgrade. The team got better. Then again, the team go...

I thought Luis actually was 1 of the only guys who pretty much performed at or above what you would have expected coming in from QU. But he has limitations and he was going to command minutes.

Archie is staying away from players with red flags. I would argue having a proven record of being unable to play at the Atlantic 10 level should be a giant fucking red flag, and yet he brought Thomas back The Thomas that is coming back here now is clearly a different player than the one that left.....

I don't know who it was, maybe Richard Jefferson, at the end of the Mavs-Clips game said, "in a 7 game series, the team that loses Game 1 has the advantage...because they'll make adjustments...and the other team will just maintain status quo..." Riiiight.....

I found this quote from Bassy about Archie in the Projo interesting: “He just talked about how freely he wanted me to play this year. He wasn’t going to really coach how he did the first year in terms of being on guys and begging people to do stuff.” Is he changing, evolving or has he given up? Jus...

I hope it's not House. That would suck. I love Cam, but I'd get it if he left. It seems like Luis really likes Rhody, so I don't think it's him, but you're right.
