Reminder - Mickey D's tonight at 9 on ESPN

[mark79]

Looking forward to watching a little of Malachi and TB. These things have been quite a joke the last several years, but I still can't resist tuning in for at least a bit.

With all the crap that has gone on, it will be nice to get a good look into what we have coming in next year. I really hope we can land Bryant.

I will still watch, but they have really ruined this game. Maybe I am just getting older, but I remember watching the McDonald's All American game in the late 80's and it was amazing. I remember Billy Owens and Alonzo Mourning on the same team. Shaq grabbing a rebound and going the distance for a dunk. Maybe it was because it was my first good look at all the players I had been reading about. Now, I have watched videos and games of every kid that we are even rumored to have been involved with since they were in ninth grade.

Im surprised there isnt a game thread about this!

Not sure which team to root for lol.

 

[ToTheHole]

Sounds like the SEC is going to have tougher competition for UK next year.

On the downside, it sounds like Florida St is going to provide a challenge for the Cuse next year, along with the established ranked ACC teams.

Malachi seems hesitant out there tonight. Just had a real ugly miss from 3..

 

[2-3zone]

First thing that I notice about Malachi is that he just floats around out there, no super aggressive attitude like every other guard in the game

Actually encouraged by malachi even though hes playing like . His handle looks better than expected. Im not worried about him missing shots.

Kid isnt a one on one stud. Malachi will thrive in traditional offense. He looks bigger than i thought and his handle is not as weak as i suspected.

My thoughts exactly, not overly impressed with his handle either. His first shot looked good, just rimmed out. Second 3pt attempt was just flat out ugly.

That's the rap on him.

My question is how much of a traditional offense JB will have for him and his mates. I'm just messin', kind of.

Better prepare yourself now, he WILL be gone after 1 year (not about being ready it's about the potential)

 

[ToTheHole]

I'm trying to think of the best drinking game for this game. Children of the corn maybe?

Well, of course, we are SU.

 

[NineOneSeven]

LSU will be legit

Problem is, with JB's short bench, he may only play 5 minutes a game.

 

[cuseguy]

LSU will be legit

They had 2 first round picks this year.

 

[ToTheHole]

LSU will be legit

Too legit to quit? I'm glad to see this thread gaining traction!

 

[ToTheHole]

Ben Simmons sounds like the type of person I would want representing SU, let alone athlete. Best wishes to that kid.

Well if he is just floating around, and can't defend, I'm ok with 5 mins a game

you think he'll get the MCW/Dion freshman treatment?

One on one. Not one and done

He needs to rebound to play the 3, and I don't see rebounder. He shies away from the paint. So he's a 2, but I don't see him playing much behind Cooney, not if he doesn't hustle and play defense.

So maybe 5 minutes a game.

You can see the talent, but he needs to get dirty more often.

By default.

His drifting and matador D isn't going to cut it with JB.
