Re: 2/6 | George Washington | 7:00PM (ESPN+)

I've watched GW a handful of times this year. This is not a good team. Lasalle beat this team on the road.. This is a winnable game, but I don't have much faith. The buzz of the program was the best it's been since Cox's run in year 2 during our four-game winning streak. That has completely died.. ...

Re: Understanding the NIL

Logically players should have always received compensation for jersey sales. And being in video games. That’s was just blatant abuse of their actual NIL.

Re: Why Can't We Force More Turnovers/Steals???

They changed the rule bc it was being over called and anything remotely 50/50 was called a charge. But they still call it plenty and if you watch games there are plenty of guys stepping in and taking them.

Jaden House probably has a half dozen committed himself this year.

Most of our issues stem from a lack of talent. Archie's job is to keep our good players, dump the underachievers, and bring in more good players. Simple right? I don’t necessarily think that’s true. I think there is talent but not enough of them have that dog in them. Talented but mentally soft.
