Wed 11.6

1st day of hoya action!

Just watched him completely change a conference tournament game defensively. I had no idea he was leading the nation in blocks. Good for him.

Really the reason we are not able to challenge Nova, Xavier etc. for a top 4-5 spot in Big east and win 20 plus games boils down to two main reasons in my opinion:
1. Front court injuries - we would have been a materially better team if Sorber was not playing hurt at times and then not injured for last month of season and Julius was not injured for entire season. Those were huge blows.
2. Performance from 1 and 2 spots - Mack and Epps simply did not perform as well as expected and then we have no depth at those positions. I expected Mack to be one of the top 4 pg in the conference. He is not. I expected Epps to challenge for HM all conference. That is not happening. Neither had strong seasons.

This weeks New Yorker magazine has a lengthy article on Ross and his movie Nickel Boys in The Current Cinema, page 54, December 16th issue.

not many notes. was not a big physical practice. they have to save their bodies

johnson had scout

mulready had pep in his step

caleb practiced. if not fully, largely.

a lot of film work also

lifted as a team

ill be here, 630p today

Reports out that we will join BYU, Miami and Dayton in Orlando for a four team MTE thanksgiving week. This would be a very solid tournament. BYU will have AJ Dybansta and Xavion Stanton out of Utah Prep as freshmen. I believe Dayton got Aaron McKie's kid coming in. PG from Philly. Do not know much about Miami as they are in flux with coaching change

Development

Looks like he will get a chance these next two weeks or so to prove his merit.

it's on stupid peacock. hahaha

blaney had scout

they reviwed alot of what cu does...offensively and defensively...globally and individually.

have no clue who wins. hoyas need thomas. clearly.

also need solid guard play.

and you don't know which pc team shows up.

defensive oriented session. and rebounding. some 5 out stuff was done

cooley was MAD about their defensive performance.


cooley - look behind you in zone

tweeted yesterday cooley's moms passed

cooley

Hoyas need a strong pg like Bruce Thornton to mesh with the guys

Doesn't have to be as offensively skilled as Thornton.

But steing and will go thru chests and strap up

Thoughts ?

The recruiting for next year's transfer class and transfer portal will open in about six weeks. There may be less people in it because their are much fewer players affected by Covid year. However, if Juco does not count for eligibility, that could increase the player pool.

Here is one Grad Transfer player, I would be eyeing if we need more front court help and Sorber/Julius/Fielder and Seal are not all staying:
Unfortunately, he was unable to play this year due to preseason shoulder injury. He has announced that he will use his graduate year. Canadian kid. Very athletic
