    Thinking ahead to hoops season

    Agree to disagree. While that lineup won't outrebound anyone, I do think we could compete down low for loose balls. Levi and Andrew will both get 2 to 4 boards on average imho but each can pull down six or seven from time to time, particularly against perimeter oriented offenses. I do think...

    Thinking ahead to hoops season

    I think Steele will have a bigger role than most. In my eyes he's the leader of the team. I see the usual starting five (matchup dependent) as 1. Releford 2. Lacy 3. Randolph 4. Steele 5. Jacobs With Randolph out and Gueye in when we need size. If Pollard is as good as advertised he'll be at...

    Link: Sacramento Takes Chance on Tony Mitchell (I assume you meant takes instead of tanks)

    That is tragic. I wish Tony the best. And thank the heavens we have Coach Grant. Not many D1 coaches would have the integrity or the stones to let such a talent go for the good of the program.

    Link: Ben Eblen Forgoing His Sr. Season

    Believe it or not, this worries me. Not because of his ability on the court. But because Ben is a warrior on and off the court. I had hoped he would be a big part of practice and as much a member of the staff as a member of the team. Anyone saying this is addition by subtraction does not know...

    Link: Is there a culture war going on in America?

    I think the "Culture War" always comes up on election years. It is a tool to get out the vote and distract from the issues politicians are too cowardly, or too busy campaigning, to deal with. As others on this board have mentioned, there are FAR more critical issues to our nation than gays...

    Chik-Fil-A Thread

    I claim Chik Fil A as my favorite drive thru for the quality of food and the outstanding way they treat their workers. But the extent I care about gay marraige is that I'm marrying outside my gender and inside my species. If the almighty wants to punish gay marraige, fine. Personally, I'm pretty...

    SEC coaches surprised when league schedule doesn't match what was previously discusse

    Since all our schedule got easier, I would assume that we lost kentucky as a home and home and georgia Picked them up.

    SEC coaches surprised when league schedule doesn't match what was previously discusse

    Hopefully if this will negatively impact our rpi then we will still have some ability to add a quality out of conference opponent to offset this. Does anyone know if there is time to even attempt to add a game?

    Mitchell and Hankerson to leave the team

    I think this is very much worse for Hankerson than for us. While he has grown on me as a person, Hankerson strikes me as the kind of young man who needs structure and discipline like I think CAG strives to provide. Sad day for him imo. Basketball wise I don't see him as a huge loss provided we...

    Mike Davis fired at UAB

    If we are changing any staff members at UA, I would hope Coach Davis gets an interveiw. He'd be a strong addition to most any staff.

    offseason improvements

    Good of time for my first post as any. I'll play along. Trevor Releford: Passing in traffic on penetration and in transition. 2.8 apg is not where I want our point guard to be. Ben Eblen: Learn from the staff. Bust tail in practice and continue to earn his teammates respect. Young man will be...
