Link doesn’t work

I guess it’s private.

It’s from the day UC won the regular season championship and was celebrating in the Visiting locker room in WSU.

Man we not gettin no love on cbs right now. They talkin first four out for the palm reading and doin cronin interviews.. Didnt even speak on our game today during the bubble segment, had the graphic up tho. They pretty much talked a lot of ucla cronin cash. Lookin like we gotta at least make the conference championship or some teams bump off

If they dis the AAC regular season champion that would be a travesty.

Don't know where to put it but I'm bored and could be something to talk about.



Travis Steele or John Brannen

i would not feel easy as an X fan with what that roster has done in the 2 years. That roster has a ton of talent at all the positions.

Yea and it seems very likely Naji and Scruggs will dip out after this year

One made the tournament in year 1.
One didnt make the tournament in year 1 or 2 with better personnel

You do the math

Should be a fun off season. Once recruiting starts back up. Lot of openings to fill. Always fun. See if we can get another top 100-130 player that opens up. Always some of those guys.

We will probably get another home and home with someone. Maybe Dayton.

Would anyone take alterique Gilbert? Former 5 star that had terrible luck at UConn. Also has underachieved but would benefit from a fresh start. He would also be able to stay in a league he knows, as UConn moves to a new one. Would only be one year, so if it didn’t work, not that big of a deal. Just think it’d be interesting. The guy obviously has some skill and Brannens system could help him succeed.

He'd be better than McNeal was, so there's that.

I doubt he would come here but it would be an interesting pickup. Not sure who would be better. Him or Tate from nku.

Pass. Uconn played much better with him on the bench

I would also lean toward no but he has skill. He just made a lot of dumb mistakes. I do think in the right system he could be a solid player.

Nice interview with the Madsen twins. Both are very personable and seem like very high character young men. Mason does most of the talking.

No groundbreaking insight was shared, but I enjoyed hearing each talk about their individual games and where they feel their strengths are/what they need to improve.

 

[sirthought]

Nice to hear that interview. Their excitement is encouraging and it's good to know they are so well grounded with their attitudes about coming in, working hard, and gelling with the team.

I'm concerned that this pandemic is going to ruin the summer workouts, and very possibly delay the season. But we'll take that as it comes after more important world issues are sorted out.

Carlik Jones may be a possible add.

Yep, it’s be a great pickup

From Cincy, at one time wanted to play in the city. I would say us and Xavier have a good shot. Will also be playing time. Have to think he’d start over the freshman. Mika move to off guard.
