Re: 2/25 | La Salle | 12:00PM (USA)

I dont care what anybody else says, but it there isnt a major turnaround next season, Archie's seat needs to get very warm. Not saying he's gone after year 3, but year 4 should be his last if it happens again. I just dont see a big jump next season unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat with sever...

So Ramster are you in the we should have kept Bassy on scholarship camp? Also, has anyone challenged Miller about allowing Thomas to walk? Or has anyone in the media or elsewhere done a truly deep dive on the topic? 42 points on a CYO Cadet team is serious bucket getting. At any D1 level it’s a sign...

Re: Who is Archie Miller?

There’s not even a warm seat until the team fails miserably again in year 3. Then it’ll be warm for season 4.

Any other talk seems like fantasy to me.

Good first half.

Mooney turned King loose 2nd half. Baseline attacks off picks and multiple made 25’ shots. Classic way to defeat Pack Line.

Richmond is almost entirely upperclassmen they’ll be looking to make a push.

Bassy doesn’t suck that’s an overstatement, but he’s not a player Miller wanted coming off the bench. Would we have been a better team with a better record with him vs Kortright or Wright?
