Seems like a kid who can do it all. As a senior in high school he averaged 31.5 points 6.9 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 4.8 steals per game. Very productive coming off bench last season. A guy who can put points up in a hurry would be extremely valuable.

He’s not a big scorer in college but the kid can light it up and proved it in high school. He had a four game stretch where he scored 51, 73, 90, and 92. 76.5pts per game in that stretch.

Yeah Hawkins looks great on tape. His drive and dishes are a thing of beauty. I can see him dishing off to Freeman all day. Has great handles. Good to the rack. There is a lot to like about him.

That is true. I would honestly be fine with either one. I just want someone capable of handling the rock and leading the squad.

Interesting. So all the schools that Dakota Leffew visited has also reached out to Hawkins, except us. That could be good news.

Hopefully Dakota makes his choice soon. I hope we go after this kid for plan B if needed.

Somebody get Dusty May some coffee. He is a closer!

He has taken Kihei Clark’s spot as the most punchable face in college basketball.

Wonder if having Coach Dan here makes any difference. If that is why he gave us a visit. I know some may not agree with this take but I think it’s a bit telling if he chooses somewhere else but here. I know loyalty is out the window these days but I guess if he refuses a big school like ours...

I agree. If we went up a bunch of seeds then I can see it but not a 16 seed. For instance a guy like Giannis on Wagner would make them much better but he’s only one person. Put Giannis AND Curry on Wagner and now we are talking. But one guy, no way.

Is he trying to see who will pay the most? Or do you think he is legit taking these visits to find a perfect fit for his game. Whoever he chooses the other teams are going to have to make up for lost time on a point guard.

Anybody heard anything on a new assistant?

Come on man. His name is Cream Abdul-Jabbar.

Of course Michigan State is a top job. You make the tournament no matter what your record is. Arkansas all the sudden a top job that just got turned down a couple times just because Cal is going there.

They just didn’t like the results. He was still killing it in recruiting. Had 10/11 NBA players in the last 4yrs with one tournament victory. He was never a great in game coach. But he got really bad these past few seasons. Winning cures all ills. But unfortunately for Cal he wasn’t getting it...

Cal is just as likely to change as Jim Boeheim was. It will never happen. He is old school. His way or else.

People also think Dan Hurley has always dominated. It took him several years of building to get to this point. He did the same at Rhode Island. UK doesn’t have the patience for building. Oats may be the best bet to hit the ground running. He can recruit and does well with the portal. But even...

That’s why Red has to pound the portal! I mean pound that portal for all it’s worth. When Red gets done with the portal it should need a cigarette.

With college basketball set up the way it is today, no reason a team can’t immediately improve unless you just aren’t serious. With the resources we have and the players available. I would say if we aren’t a tournament team next season Red needs to go. This isn’t like years past where you...

Exactly the kind of player we need. Explosive. Long. Great defender. Slams with ill intent. Would immediately become a fan favorite.

So I’m assuming with GLeague Ignite being shut down permanently, HC Jason Hart will be without a job. I thought he would make a good HC here. But I would certainly take him for an assistant should the role open up. Could be a really good recruiter with his involvement in the top high school...

We just need Calipari to be our recruiting ace. He’s not allowed to coach just bring in the talent.

Someone from a HS basketball powerhouse could pay dividends in recruiting for several years. The connections they make are endless. Red has experience in the HS and AAU circuits. Sounds like a great play if it works out.

Id hate to see GMac go but we are in desperate need for some recruiting closers. We need some Fran Brown magic on the bball staff.

To those that constantly critique every player that enters the portal we may be interested in. There will be no perfect player available. They all have flaws and are not NBA ready lottery picks. They may never see the NBA. We need guys that can fit into a team. Play for one another. Be...

NCS didn’t take Bell out of the game. Our guards did. If he’s not getting the ball he’s not shooting. He doesn’t create his own shots. He catches and fires. Even with hands in his face. I’m glad we won but it was by the skin of our teeth. Could be a completely different conversation but the...

That’s not true at all. He was being guarded no different than first half. He just wasn’t getting the ball. Several times Mintz put his blinders on straight to the rack into the defense. Didn’t even look for a pass.

Proved how much we need a true pass first point guard. Starling and Mintz are both ball hog shooting guards. Both want to be the hero at the end of the game to the detriment of our team. Red needs to be questioned on what happened with Bell in 2nd half. What happened is completely inexcusable...

Don’t get too high and don’t get too low. We still are not near where we need to be on a consistent basis. But this is a huge positive step to get there. We got very hot for the whole game. Doesn’t happen too often for any team. So I would not expect this for the rest of the way. If we can just...

Yes! I could see Benny on our back line in the old 2/3 causing absolute havoc on offenses. Swatting shots and collecting rebounds. Catching lobs on offense and jamming them home. It’s so unfortunate that it didn’t work out. Lots of promise there.

I believe he was talking about JT with that reply.

I think Benny was more athletically gifted than actually talented at basketball. I think in his mind he was very talented and deserved to play every minute. I think that’s been the problem from the onset. He has a major ego issue, also as many pointed out very immature. Guys like him come and...

Good job Coach Red! Do not put up with this foolishness. I hope this sends a very loud message to the rest of the roster.

Benny took off to the locker room before the handshake line. No way this dude is here next season.

It’s just weird how vague this whole thing is. Is he getting a government classified bionic leg? Have they accidentally gave him two kneecaps? Just tell us already.

Do we even know what the “lower body” injury is specifically?

The great thing about Red to me is everyone gets to play. He spreads out playing time masterfully. Our bench, which used to be nonexistent, is now our biggest asset. He also doesn’t yank guys after one mistake. The guys don’t play scared and watching over their shoulders. They can actually go...

His brother is QB at Penn University. Syracuse is only around 4 hour drive to Penn. Send our attack dogs after him.

Looks like Purdue’s transfer olinemen have already went elsewhere. Figured our new guy could have brought someone with him.

Come on, Q was turnover happy today but he’s normally our most productive player besides Maliq. Taylor should be very limited until he gets it together. Q should get all those minutes.

Taylor is Reds Girard. Except Girard could produce most of the time. You would almost have to try to be as useless as Taylor. It blows my mind.

In the 80’s and 90’s Brown would be an NBA prospect. In todays NBA he is not. The NBA doesn’t have 6’8 power forwards that live in the paint anymore. You have to be super long, super athletic, and shoot the 3. Brown has great defensive instincts and can do great against other college fowards...

Kotelnicki will be Penn State’s 6th OC since Franklin has been there. Not the most stable job in the world. Hope they are paying well to leave his buddy in Kansas.

I appreciate his work ethic but he was a RB trying to play QB. Never had a good accurate arm. Good runner. Maybe a career as TE if he can stay healthy.

Mike Siravo. He was with the Rhule band alongside Fran Brown. Now has NFL coaching experience.

I would almost guarantee the DC will have ties to Fran. He is a defensive guy and has worked closely with many over the years. He’s not going to go outside of his circle for defense.

Few names Brennan Marion Joe Moorhead Herb Hand Darrell Dickey Brandon Streeter Tim Cramsey Kevin Johns Warren Ruggiero Jeff Scott Josh Gattis

You can look at a couple of guys on Georgia’s support staff. Darrell Dickey the offensive analyst. He’s 63yrs old and has no connections to Fran. But if you are looking for an experienced guy to run the offense, look no further. Brandon Streeter another offensive analyst. He’s a Clemson guy...

Whoever he chooses for OC will have the keys to the offense. I’m sure Brown will have input but he is ultimately a defensive guy. So he definitely needs to nail this hire. Keeping Beck would depend on what Brown’s offensive philosophy will be. Air raid, pro style, power running, etc.
