Fan of the Game

Bigs often are underrated and don’t show everything at once. It usually takes about two seasons just to figure things out, especially defending without fouling. Coordination can’t be simple with that size and height. Matas will be just fine.

Is it accurate that Arch has not attended previous Manning Passing Academy events or is that fake news or just a myth?

Who will be the Chendall Weaver type guy? The spark, hustle, energy, 5-tool player? Is Freeman the one?

Is the June 8 date the 1st day of Summer workouts for the SEC?

That’s what the best managers do, focus on people more than tasks creating a trusting environment. Everyone who sees your friend’s post will feel the way he does, and understand the leadership’s commitment to a 46-year season ticket holder. It matters.

Oh no. Not Cam Heide!

The Phi Slamma Jamma dominance was #1 as must-see basketball during that period. Recent Cinderella run by 15-seed St. Peter’s in 2022 to reach Elite Eight. In the current era we may never see a Cinderella run like St. Peter’s again. It was exciting to watch.

Swain as the top newcomer of the league is an difficult and special accomplishment in the portal era. I don’t know why the excitement seems muted. Fans hope players on future teams are talented and valuable enough to earn this award.

I think 6-12 in conference last season and still selected for a NCAA tournament appearance. The conference tournament performance last season helped before the committee made final decisions. The team played well. I think Mark was the spark then and will have to play all out in the conference tournament this year too to make it happen.

May only drop to last four in. Do a couple of wins at the conference tournament sway the selection committee?

The final college season of eligibility for Mark…I think. Swan song should be strong going out.

Team should be on the right side of the bubble in tomorrow’s bracket matrix across the interverse. Similar to last season, a play in selection is the worse case scenario. The Horns should be dancing in the inaugural season for the staff.

Matas spit on Vinson…we can do better than that behavior.

Fans have to give a coach time to build and young players time to develop. Today’s under the radar player becomes tomorrow’s best ROI with good coaching and opportunities to develop on and off the court. Buy low and hold strategies for a NIL bull market will produce good yields. It will require quality talent evaluation, discipline, and patience.

We finally seeing Codie as a four man, his natural position and can screen and facilitate from that spot.

Klavzar is that Dude! As they say…”he like that”. 😬

Micah Handlogten in a reserve role likely has an NBA future. Scouts know the timetable for development of Bigs is different. He’s on the radar screen…if you know what you’re looking at. Has remained at Florida to be coached by Carlin Hartman.

Bringing Traore back versus Florida to test the injury may not be the best scenario versus the Gators frontcourt.

We know who we are Harvey, just having fun talking about it. But, we do know enough to know that a good Point Guard changes lives. 🙂

Don’t cross the street? 😳

Turnout should improve with local fans on holiday break next week.

A light crowd at Moody…

Frontcourt still has time to fine tune before conference play.

Why did Traore and Vokietaitis not play? Traore should know the system as a Xavier transfer, but why no Matas live reps in exhibition play to prepare for season?

Richard Young and Daniel Hill are ready to run. Jam is expected to fully recover and may be available later in the season. Ty Simpson will be able to toss it, but like every SEC team, will need a solid run game to compete for the CFP. The departure of Justice Haynes now looms large for the Tide.
