It’s not the athletic departments fault that so many folks don’t know sports and think so narrowly as to apply such a strict definition to an “open practice”, particularly in an abbreviated year. Every program runs things differently. You would’ve thought we’ve televised referred scrimmages during preseason every year for the past 10 years and broke tradition by the way many of you are talking... Have you ever been to the Hoya Hoop Club men’s basketball open practice that is held every year?

Some insights from the open practice: - Wilson redshirted last season - Bile will be a key new piece this season - Jalen Harris will run the point - Freshman are hungry and competing

Wonder if Bile sticks around for another year. If his play translates like I think it will, he would be a very nice piece to keep around for next year at the 4.

This will be Bile’s 4th year of eligibility, so this is his last season. He previously played 2 years at Otero Junior College and 1 year at Northwestern St.

He previously played 2 years at Otero Junior College and 1 year at Northwestern St. I'm pretty sure this year is a free eligibility year so Bile and other seniors could return if they want to.

Bile and Jamorko as hybrid 3/4s will be interesting to watch. How will they match up defensively? How will they rotate inside vs. outside offensively? It could be a very complimentary pairing.

Some insights from the open practice: - Wilson redshirted last season - Bile will be a key new piece this season - Jalen Harris will run the point - Freshman are hungry and competing To add to this.... Here is the quick breakdown of what people (teammates, coaches, etc) are saying is standing out about certain players: TJ is a shooter Jalen (Jay5 or J5) is the head of the snake and experienced Kobe can guard any position Dante gets the ball in teammates hands (a good distributor) Holloway rebounds well (this was mentioned twice) Bile is an athletic 3/4 They are excited to see Wilson finally get on the court

He isn't doing that at only 6'4. That measurement is still bs.

This comment seemed oddly aggressive and unnecessary, but then I read through the member's recent posts and it all became so clear. Pretty good chuckle if you have some time on your hands.

Hah not as funny as all the swing and misses in your recent posts. So what’s your point? You still vying for internet popularity contests? Kudos though, putting your foot in your mouth is always a sure fire way to show that you’re completely missing the point. Staying true to form. Wouldn’t expect anything less. Kudos!

Most folks, like you, rather engage in ad hominem degradation, which is for simps. Funny you don’t want to engage on the actual program related topic 🤷🏽♂️, I’m not surprised though. Hating isn’t a good look. But here’s a participation badge for you 🥉...way to go! lol

Such a disappointing opener. We did not look like we have a confident offense. Did not take advantage of a less talented and smaller team. I sure hope Coach Ewing resolves our inadequacies right away or this will be a painful year.
