I heard that Riley had 5 alley-oop dunks in one scrimmage. I heard that Riley hit 5 half court shot in a row…WITH HIS EYES CLOSED! 😁

I heard that Riley snatched a quarter off the top of the backboard and left two dimes and a nickel!

I'm a simple man. Tell me that one of our centers has received a pass in the paint and then kicked it out for a 3 and I'm happy.

The notion that there were anywhere close to 100 high school players last year who are better prospects than Riley is dubious to me. We shall see... I would take Riley over Jordan Hawkins, a similarly sized top 50 player from DeMatha & going to UConn, every time. Florida State has had a lot of success with wings who were underrated out of high school, and they were interested late, as was Kansas. The absence of an AAU season certainly appears to have been helpful, or at least not hurt, in getting Riley and potentially even Mutombo in the fold.

I hope you’re right, Hawkins is gonna be a good or for Uconn...

6’4” guards with good length and explosion are great. When that same 6’4” guard has a foxhole mentality and will try to dunk on peoples’ heads and chase down opponents from behind then you really have something. Remember the hated Derrick Coleman from Syracuse? Now that it has been some decades I can say the guy was immensely skilled and had all the tools to be an all time great. All the tools except one: he did not see the game as “kill or be killed”. What if Coleman had Michael Graham’s tenacity? I applaud Coach Ewing for assembling a roster of players that have the old school HOYA mentality. You get 4-6 DAWGS on a team the rest of the unit starts to growl too. Defense & aggression travels. Shooting and execution can take days off sometimes. I truly believe this year’s team will be a squad that nobody enjoys playing. You get 4-6 DAWGS on a team the rest of the unit starts to growl too. I loved that!!!!!!!!!!
