Re: Portal

There may still be time left to shore up our needs, however, I’m starting to worry we may have a positional skill set deficit at point guard.

Re: Portal

Should we still expect to hear about a DC portal commitment today?

Re: Portal

The Belk Report on Twitter/X reporting that Colgate portal guard Braeden Smith, who we have apparently been pursuing, is leaning toward Gonzaga. Can’t say I’m surprised. He’s from Washington state.

Re: Portal

Broadway Joe was paid a $400,000 signing bonus coming out of Alabama, roughly $2 million or so in today’s money. Unlike the $2 million the University of Washington apparently just coughed up for some one-and-done mercenary I’ve never heard of, I believe Namath’s bonus was a veritable bargain.

Re: Portal

Obscene for sure, and downright disgusting. Part of the reason I’ve had literally zero interest in the NBA and NFL for years now. Go Cats!

Re: Portal

Very interesting and honest commentary from Calipari. I don’t think I’d bet against the guy. He has something to prove. For those that don’t know, he played point guard at UNC-W, before transferring to Clarion.

Re: Battle for Atlantis

Our chances may hinge on whether or not we sign an experienced portal point guard who can both shoot and dish. That said, I'm worried.

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Based on several recent anecdotes, I don’t get the impression we are pulling big levers in the NIL space.

Well, we sure need him to contribute. I suspect he’ll be much improved.

Re: 2024–2025 Davidson MBB Scholarship Players

Does anyone have insight into whether or not the coaching staff anticipates meaningful playing time next season for Mike Loughnane? He was Matt’s first commit as HC but saw very little court action during his freshman year. Hopefully he will be ready and able to contribute at point guard, especially...

Re: Portal

If Brizzi can fix his three point stroke, and stop perpetually driving deep into the paint with nowhere to go, he can become a very solid player. I hope he does.

The best point guards are inherently team first, above all else.

Re: This Season - A Tale of Shooting (or Lack Thereof)

Purdue was nearly as bad the year before last so Matt Painter simply had each player shoot threes for five minutes after every practice starting in October. The results speak for themselves.

Re: Clunie Email re NIL

There was no real insight into the numbers regarding our NIL efforts on last night’s Zoom call with the AD and coaches. Did I miss something?
