Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
I agree Kortright didn't push the pace but he had 117 assists and averaged 4 rebounds a game. He didn't suck and whether Bassy will be better is up in the air. I did not want Luis to leave, but to be fair I didn’t want Bassy to leave last year either. I do think Bassy is a better fit for uptempo an...

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
Due to his turnovers Thomas is incapable of being a competent floor general. It doesn't matter if he goes up the floor at the speed Archie wants if it's going right back down the other way even faster when the opponent gets a fast break off of his mistakes. It's not just that we know he's unplayabl...

Yeah it's depth guys that are left. Having 3 core guys who've played together, and a bench guy who has, is a key these days.

Listen, first let me say that I like Bassy. You can go back and look at my posts when he was here when most people were bashing him. I think he can run a team, facilitate and makes nice passes. He's still not a good shooter. He scored a lot of points last season despite shooting 43% from the floor ...

Remember two years ago when our offense sucked? Most of that was because of turnovers, with Thomas being a big offender.

Just too slow to stick with/get by A10 guards on a consistent basis. Yes, he was too slow on defense, but his physicality on the offense end created mismatches and was a big bonus for us. Compare that to Thomas who is even slower on defense and doesn't create any mismatches on offense. We severely ...
