Mystical, errr Mulmore is a turnover waiting to happen. It's "Danger" whenever the ball is in his hands.

It would be in Fox best interest to have GU doing well, recruiting, facilities, etc...at least until the Network/New BE has a chance to take off. Make it happen Fox, the success of GU=the success of the t.v. Network.

I have watch Dodd go from a gangly 6-3 freshman who couldn't chew gum and walk at the same time, with no competitive bball experience, aau or otherwise. Now 3yrs later and almost 7 inches taller receiving Big Time D1 offers. Big Youngin' (Dodd) is one heck of an athlete, and as HardwoodHoya stated above he hasn't received the best of coaching on the E. Shore. He also was on the Queen Anne's track team. I have seen him with my own eyes beat a few neighborhood guys in the 40yrd (give or take lol) dash in my front yard. To see a guy 6-9+ reaching full speed in 4-5 long strides is a site to see. He has a long way to go skill wise, but with the proper coaching sky is the limit for him.

... or enjoy the spotlight in NYC at Syracuse, You realize that Washington, D.C. is actually closer to NYC than Syracuse, right? IMO make it two years in College or allow them to go from High School to the NBA. It appears that the NFL and CFB has a good working relationship that benefits the both...MLB and C. BaseBall much the same. Why can't the NBA and CBBall? No wonder the NFL dwarfs other sports in comparison. The NBA can't wait to pick the fruit when ripe, while the NFL differs.

Hollis is now at 57% FG, 57% 3FG and 89 FT% for a total of 203. What's that total stat that Austin was good at? He's blowing it away! Oh, btw, he leads the team in rebounds. Those numbers are ridiculous.

Was going to say the same. For a lefty, he's VERY strong with the right hand.

I've heard Big JT state a few times on his radio show that a scholly is a year to year contract. Not a four year contract. I take that as saying that a kid is evaluated year to year and if he is not living up to expectations than that contract can be voided at the end of the year. I could be wrong but that's what i got out of it. By NCAA rules, an athletic scholarship is a one-year renewable contract which the coach/school is under no obligation to renew. It's frequently renewed as a matter of course barring academic or disciplinary issues, but some coaches are more, shall we say aggressive, in not renewing scholarships for their recruiting mis-steps. Agreed, but with that said i guess i am favor of a coach being honest with a player. Coaches make mistakes recruiting, and if a player is not showing improvement on the court. Than it is up to the coach to tell the kid that playing time may not be available next yr, here are your options. Now, i am not in favor of the Calhoun method of recruiting as stated above. But, i am all for brutal honesty, if the kid is well over his head and expects to play. This is big time college bball, not ping pong and coaching careers and ball players feelings are hurt at times. The best one can hope for is that the feeling is mutual between coach and player.

Hoya07, i was saying the same last night. Henry needs to stay on his feet and stop reacting to every pump fake, unless the block is definitely there. Can't count how many times he takes himself out of rebounding position. And when he happens to block the ball he seem to always block it well into the seats...another pet peeve of mine.

I'm with you ScreamingHoya. Falling 6 spots after a 3 pt loss on the road against Temple is a bit much. The Hoyas have had a tough schedule, if not the toughest schedule of all. And it appears we get shafted for one road loss. Don't think your traditional powers would fall as much after one loss (see Duke every year).

I noticed that also, and i like Kellogg. But he seemed a bit biased today. Never mentioned how the charge call was missed while JB was trampled by a Duke player.

It has to be something in the water up in dem der hills. Sans the Pirates (baseball economics is another story) most sports teams there compete to the highest level...just straight tough.

He needs to play a game and shoot 40 percent from the field before he runs his mouth about the offense holding him back. Exactly, this guy was left wide open game after game due to his inability to shoot the ball. How many leads did we lose when he entered the game because the opposition (mainly his man) would simply double the post (denying entry) while watching him brick a shot or force a turnover due to his lack of confidence in his shot. The nerve.

In some ways I agree with you, but I think you've got it all wrong. The offense isn't taught to stand and look -- it's taught to move and look. Every explanation I've ever seen of what Thompson teaches -- from Thompson or former players -- is that you move to force a reaction by the D and then exploit the reaction. The offense works best when players are acting instinctually within it and constantly moving yet still making good decisions. This isn't "breaking out of that style" -- it's actually executing the offense as designed. It's funny, but everyone who talks about the offense when they are actually running it well says it has a ton of freedom -- there's not a lot of set plays, if any -- and you are simply reacting to the opponent. Standing and looking are destruction for ANY offense in basketball and all players, athletic or non. Our problem isn't the system. It's that no one can shoot, no one can defend, no one can rebound and no one can handle the ball without turning it over. Changing an offense doesn't change that. Exhibit A is the fact that we are the WORST fast breaking team I have ever seen. Just awful. This offense is designed to get lay-ups and open jumpers. All 5 players are spread outside the lane for back door cuts. Now what has happened is the BE has caught up to the offense, and defending the back door extremely well. And that leaves us taking challenged jump shots with the clock running down. And notice when the shot is in the air many times our guys are standing around outside the lane conceding the rebound to the opposition. Sometimes just turning and running the opposite direction to defend our basket. This lackadaisical approach to rebounding has effected both ends of the floor; many teams have had their way buffet style on the offensive glass. I can't count how many times i watch a ball hit the floor and NO Hoya get down and dirty on the floor to secure a loose ball...would this happen with Pops teams? heck no!!!! This team plays passive in what seem to be every aspect of the game. Ask yourself, when is the last time we scored on an inbound play under the basket. We are content with receiving the ball at the top key and beyond in most cases. Why are we so bad at fast breaking? just see above, this has become a state of mind with this team, we just don't attack...the full court press, we don't press full court or trap in the half court to create easy opportunities. Now you may get away with this approach in the Ivy league for an extended period of time, but in the BE it won't be so easy to maintain consistent success with this style of play. I just hope III is not stubborn to a fault and unwilling to tweak his approach. The system is fine imo (it's won us back to back BE titles), but it must be updated (that includes the type of players recruited).
