As noted by someone on the GW board and confirmed here, a new NCAA rule limits the number of players from the same college team to two with NO EXCEPTION FOR INCOMING FRESHMEN/TRANSFERS. This will change the whole character of the league with no Tombs/Symmonds/Clydes etc stashing players from a local team. The Kenner games will be much more mixed, making a tougher job for us fans to target key games. The games will also add less value in allowing future teammates to play with each other before the start of official practices. I'm sure if they just put some Thompson Tape® over the spaces between the doors noone would be the wiser. Unfortunate rule change. Been going to Kenner for ~10 years and this is going to make it much less entertaining.

Definitely recommend this, but found it to be pretty damn depressing.

That's what i've been saying. The key is his footwork has been good and he's set screens pretty well. It reminds me of when Wizards coach Wittman said that he couldn't get over how good Bradley Beal's footwork was which was a reason he wanted to draft him. Even though Beal wasn't exceptional in college at that point (but he was good) and came out early. NOT saying that Hayes is on that level yet, if ever but he'll be fine. Your posts get more nonsensical every day.

Wish we could have kicked DePaul out of the BE. Not that there were great options for replacements.

Hayes is like this - you're down to opening up two Christmas presents, and one is gigantic, and the other looks like a bunch of socks. Your wife told you she was getting you new socks because your old ones have holes in them, and you haven't opened any socks yet, so you know socks are coming. You open the big one and it's a TV, leaving only the last present. Letting Hayes play is like opening that bunch of socks - you know that you are going to get socks, but for some reason you have the crazy hope that there's something exciting in there even though if you look at it realistically and logically you know it is just socks. In this analogy, I think Hayes is the big box full of unknown, and our current front court is the pack of socks. Sure, the big box could be a TV. Could also be Señor Xtapolapocetl. I don't know. But I'd rather open it than resign myself to the socks. This is only really valid if nobody had seen him play. I saw him play a lot in Kenner, and he has a loooooooong way to go. And the coaching staff sees him practice every day, and thinks Caprio is a better center. Sometimes big guys can take huge leaps year to year, but it isn't happening this season.

Did anyone who is clamoring for Domingo or Hayes watch them play in Kenner? To be kind, they looked like they still need quite a bit of work.

Is the original schedule accurate for tomorrow, ie Tombs at 1? I seem to remember there being a change when I checked the schedule in the gym last week, but I of course didn't write anything down.

Four years of Monroe and Porter and 1 NCAA win to show for it

I don't want this to be my defining memory of Otto.

Sitting Starks for so long in the first was definitely a big mistake.

And it looks like Otto's career is going to closely parallel Monroe's.

Lots of higher seeded teams lose but we seem to be the only one that gets destroyed, and it keeps happening
