    Class of 2019 PG Dakota Leffew (GA/MD)

    Agree. There’s NO WAY we hire his coach and just expected him to come without an agreement already in place. I’ve gotta believe these are two independent decisions.

    Judah Mintz to NBA Draft

    I’m sure this was a very tough decision for Judah and the family. He was very entertaining and although not perfect, no one is, and he was one of the better players we’ve had in the past few years. I wish him all success and thank him for choosing us.

    Class of 2020 C Eddie Lampkin (TX) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/2/24)

    Agree. I like Maliq a lot. But if I were him, I would not want to play another whole year starting at center either. His decision is understandable to me. I’m not going to criticize bringing in Lampkin. We’ve all been pining for a big boy for while now and now we have one that’s pretty skilled...

    Maybe his entire support system. No JT, no GMAC.

    Yep, I’m hooked. I like period, big film stuff like this. It has all of the ingredients.

    Louisville Postgame Thoughts

    I’m not sure if Ive ever seen worse defense in a play with 5 seconds left.

    What has changed?

    You gotta wonder whether our players are tiring playing all those minutes. Well we know what JAB thinks about that don’t we.
  16. mark79

    What has changed?

    I’ve heard it said that a team is like a chain, in that it is only as strong as its weakest link. In this case, removing that weakest link allowed the rest of the links to turn into a pretty strong chain with each link knowing its purpose. Man that sounds really corny. Oh well.

    What will it take to beat Clemson?

    Calling on General and some of you other high IQ bball analysts to lay out a game plan.

    Chris Bell - 7 rebounds

    Bell is turning himself into a great player and we are now actually running plays for him. Other teams HAVE to account for him which opens up a lot for Judah and JJ as well as for Magic Maliq and Q to play their games.
  19. mark79

    What has changed?

    Oops. I’ll insert this: 2) Red has command of the team and we even see a pretty darn good zone emerge
  20. mark79

    What has changed?

    I hate to say it too but you’re right.
  21. mark79

    What has changed?

    1) Our AA guard Judah drives and scores or he hits Magic Maliq at the foul line or on the roll 3) All players cut and move because Maliq will find them. 4) Bell rebounds, is deadly from 3 and plays defense 5) Taylor cleans up and rebounds 6) Starling hitting 3s and midrange shots 7) Q being Q...

    Kudos to Coach Autry and staff

    Rewatching the game right now and the magic happening between Judah and Maliq is an amazing turnaround. As General so rightly pointed out, great things happen when Maliq touches the ball at the foul line. Even Taylor is now more involved. Kudos to Red for getting that play installed. It’s...

    I am genuinely happy! Over the past 10 years or so, is this not a gene we would have lost? I was preparing myself for that pretty strong possibility.in all honesty.

    NC State Postgame Thoughts 2

    My favorite play was his defense late in the game when NC State tried to dump off underneath and Cope jumped the pass. It was truly a key play of the game. And when I watched it back it was no accident he clearly anticipated it.

    NC State Postgame Thoughts 2

    Two of the greatest players in the game were legendary trash talkers. Larry and Michael. Don’t mind it against other players. Not sure what I think about it with students. Unless of course they crossed the line which is very very possible.

    Program changing win

    Seems like the zone caught UNC by surprise a bit. Did we play it much in the drubbing?
  30. mark79

    Yes im doing this

    If Pitt ends up a quad one that instantly adds two to our resume. Which is nice.

    Autry on Carey, Patterson and Cuffe

    I would like to more lineups of Copeland and Cuffe at least for a spell of Judah and JJ. Cuffe is more likely to get the benefit of a pass with Copeland in the game. Playing with Judah he is not likely to be as effective as he can’t really create his own shot because of his size.

    Class of 2025 RB Kentrell Rinehart (OH) Offered [Announcing 7/1]

    I always like when they use biblical phraseology (ie blessed and highly favored) in their communications. Definitely a strong suit of HCFB and company.

    Love the sound of that. Tired of having lack of speed going against us for so many years. Soooo excited to see all of this speed and talent in action.

    You make a good point. Whoever Joe is guarding should have a good day too. One can hope.

    Mintz to NBA Draft

    Yup we could do a lot worse!!! We know Judah is capable of being a playmaker as we’ve seen it. Assume he can work on defense and shooting. JJ is about the same. Bell is showing signs of becoming a more complete player lately and hopefully that can continue. A lot of our issues are due in part...

    Class of 2024 ATH Malachi James (NJ) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (2/7/24)

    He certainly has breakaway speed. Once he gets an opening no one is catching him.

    Swiss Army knife with killer speed. Seems like a great asset on any football team.

    Mintz to NBA Draft

    I think defense maybe the biggest issue he needs to work on as well as playmaking. At his size in the NBA he needs to be making other players better somehow. Or he needs to be lockdown defender. That said, he will easily play professionally overseas.

    Benny Williams dismissed from program

    Same here. I also preached patience with Benny and it was given. But patience doesn’t mean you keep getting chances forever. There has to be patience with consequences. And we’ve reached that stage. I really really hope he can continue to play basketball and use all of that talent productively...
