Totally agree...really like him.Cuffe has appeared to be the most well rounded and physically strong guard on the team to date. He plays with a ton of discipline and has a great feel and IQ for the game. He also plays like a senior.

Was he banged up last year when he couldn’t cover any power 5 center? He’s undersized and does not block shots at all…Oh come on. He's banged up. This is a ridiculous statement. The H0T Takes are getting out of hand.
He had to cover a 6’6 guy. And I still would have rather had him in there. They went at the hoop no problem after he came out. This team is going nowhere if we don’t use McLeod for 20mpg.and McLeod cannot cover ANY 5 with mobility when we're playing m2m

It’s obvious that we need McLeod in order to have a successful season. Maliq as the main guy at the 5 won’t end well.Take a step back from the ledge- it's clouding your judgment.

They did, but his pops pimped him out to other schools for the highest bidder.Should have gave Edwards what he wanted and not let him walk to WV. I don’t see any leaders on this team right now and that’s part of the problem
You've had half an exhibition and then a banged up game to watch with Maliq at the 5 in mtm. It's absurd to be jumping so quickly to conclusions. We will need them both but we will face more small ball teams this year where he will be forced to switch than we will true bigger front courts. It's modern basketball. Like I said step back for a moment.
it wasn’t. Red said he wanted to go small. I hope he has a longer leash for McLeod going forward.People are forgetting, or don’t know, that McLeod also did something to his hand. Don’t know if that’s what kept him off the court more but he had ice on it after the game. And Brown was able to go last night after the groin injury but then did something to his lower back. Had to come out and the trainer offered him a wrap but he refused it. Hima might have some knee issues. Our bigs are banged up.

Most teams in the league are playing small. If they start a 7 footer they play 10-15 minutes. If you really want McLeod guarding PJ Hall and Norchad Omier on the perimeter you are crazy. Maliq is going to play the 5 a lot. Probably more minutes than McLeod if I had to guess.it wasn’t. Red said he wanted to go small. I hope he has a longer leash for McLeod going forward.

Agree. There is no “I” in TEAM”. I’m chalking it up to a young squad that saw a blowout and figured they would get theirs. It’s a great teaching moment.Suffice to say its not a well oiled machine but there are a lot of great parts. I agree with Devo, I liked the Judah, JJ and Cuffe pairing. We have 3 Swing men along with Maliq and Naheem right now but add Benny and Westry to that mix and I see good things come March. Lots of patience will be necessary for this team. Once Judah and JJ start hitting even mid range jumpers this team changes. And once Judah and JJ start to look to kick also and not just finish, that's when this team becomes scary.
With limited perimeter options the offense will struggle all
season, but I at least thought there was enough athleticism
to play effective defense. Maybe not Virginia level, but better
than we've seen so far. It just comes down to effort and confidence
in the other four on the court.
Being forced to play Help defense every play, is kinda like doubling. I think it's possible that lineup would force constant switching. It's early, but it's obvious this team needs time to learn to play slowed down efficiency ball around half a game. You can throw me in the blender nowNobody on this team warrants a double team at this point.
He was wincing a bit shaking his hand after one play.People are forgetting, or don’t know, that McLeod also did something to his hand.
