He talks about the new players, the close games last year, the need for Biruta to have a big year, recruiting in general and more.

Wish the VCU game was when students were there.

This coaching search is now officially a mess. It's been headed in that direction for a while, but it's finally arrived.

Anthony Johnson was expected to be named the new coach, possibly today

And then he withdrew his name from consideration.

End of August and that team does not have a head coach,

Pull quotes on what? That many people thought EC would never be a pg on this team? Because saying that is what seems revisionist. Minnis eventually replaced Powell anyway. Seems like you may be trying to prove a point that no one is arguing. And as a fan, it's easy to say just throw the freshmen int...

I think most here thought EC could become a PG, but certainly not immediately. Let's not have a revisionist view of opinions here. nope, I disagree. and certainly the majority wanted MP at PG I'll go back to the history, I am not making this up or trying to revise history. Maybe I'm wrong but I don...

Nice for Rhody to be considered a tough road game (from a St. Louis writer)-

BAR, good points. you know that you and I argued quite a bit about MP and EC, at the beginning of last season. I did not want MP and I was definitely in the minority on MP. The majority wanted MP starting at PG from Day 1. Some wanted Biggie but not many. I never wanted MP even in my top 8 players ...

Still has a funky looking jump shot- but if it works, it works.

Hassan looks bigger, until you see him next to Iffy and Watson.

Committed to BC, chose them over South Florida and Iona.

There is plenty to bitch about, ace, but plenty to be proud of as well. I think we give plenty of attention to all the good things going on too. We have all raved about the floor, the new scoreboard, the ribbon wrap, etc. Granted his visit was before any of these improvements. But there is no way t...

So wait, you people who criticize the apathetic student section, fair-weather fans, the horrendous food, the bad music/band are now all everything is awesome?

Fun list to read through- a project several years in the making, obviously, but they attended a game at each of the 351 Division 1 schools and ranked the experience. The Ryan Center came in at 123. The game was from 2/12/11, an OT win over Charlotte. http://www.stadiumjourney.com/news/03-28-2014/599...

As of now, scheduled to visit on September 19th.

Mann said FSU has been recruiting him since he was in 8th or 9th grade. That's some serious relationship building.

One of the New Heights guys, who I like a lot, keeps trying to push a comparison to Hassan, but I'm not sure how many others think that. Sanders' final list is a mixed bag- from Seton Hall to Old Dominion to VCU, who hasn't officially offered yet.

ace

I never thought it was going to be Rhody, but I REALLY didn't think it was going to be FSU.

The recruiting experts seemed to think that he was a lock to Boston College. Welp.

ace

Interesting choice. Good luck to you, Terance.

I think he's changed his position on that. If something feels right, he could commit soon.

Pretty much everyone has him penciled in to UCONN, but this is still nice. They left very impressed after their unofficial visit.

This was explained in depth by Bill Koch but basically, Powell will not be a Ram next season, but he counts against scholarships unless he signs with someone else.

Basically, they had to weigh the risk, but it was more important to get Powell ok academically to secure the APR.

ace

Sometimes people are only as good as their sources. I think some people see something Adam writes about Rhody and immediately think it came from Dan, and that's not the case.

ace

All of that, I guess, but I'm pretty sure EC has specifically talked about wanting to be the kind of player who imposes his will on the other team and specifically mentioned Williams. They know what you're going to do, but they still can't stop you, carry your team kind of thing. And a guy like Will...

ace

EC wants to be Chaz so badly. Matthews has more talent and size, but the way he watched Williams take over games, that's part of what motivates him. He'll get it. VCU, Dayton seem to be consensus top 2, and then it really could go a lot of different ways. Saint Louis is picked 12th here. Harsh, but ...

Final line-up for this year's clinic: Rick Pitino, Jay Wright, Fred Hoiberg, Frank Martin, Mike Brey, and George Karl. It says a lot about Jim Carr that they can get these types of coaches to do this.

ace

Not much by way of analysis but 5th is a reasonable pick.

And that's why recruiting is fun. A coach is there watching one player (Brooks) and another one grabs his attention. Solid talent recognition, too.

ace

With all due respect to the NCA&T coach, all guards should have a floater in their game, especially if they're under 6 feet. It is a tough shot but at least work on it, get the timing down. Watch Derrick Rose play. If your game is always going straight to the basket, the defense is a step ahead ...

ace

Numbers will always be skewed towards guards. There are just more of them, especially when you're talking about how players fit into a college system.

ace

I'm of the belief that, almost without exception, you bring in a quality guard each recruiting class. So far, they've made short lists for Poyser and Mann. A '15 would join Garrett (So), Terrell (So), Matthews (Jr), Butler (Jr), and Minnis (Sr). If you wait a year, Minnis and possibly Matthews are g...

So, I assume Mike has to sit out a year? Hopefully, in a year from now, things are much clearer concerning Mike's medical situation. Although he will still be practicing with the team this year. He's petitioning to play right away and to have 3 years of eligibility left. He only played in a few gam...

I deleted my comment- didn't want you to feel bad, but it made me laugh! Martin Bashir is a journalist and not, in fact, a former player of Dan Hurley and current coach of Wagner.
