Radford would be a good get. Also, it would appear DB may have added an addition 10-15 lbs of "get out my way MF" weight.

Radford and Norfolk State are the best case scenario for prelim teams. If those end up being the two, it is probably the best early season tournament in memory.

And let me add your talking about the second winningest Coach under 40 in D1 and that’s with rebuilding Bradley from nothing. He has a great deal to improve on? Get serious! Does he have things to improve on, hell yes but he is way ahead of the curve! Agreed. He’s pretty **** good so far. Can alway...

Walt is a fringe, fringe, fringe NBA player. He just doesn’t shoot it well enough. I feel like he has a spot in the league somewhere. It is probably as a 11th man type on a pretty bad team, but still. The fact that he has played, let alone scored 20 points in multiple games, is a huge testament to ...

Not really applying to 19-20, but MO State just got another huge verbal from a 4-star talent. If Ford can coach them up at all, they look every bit the favorites the next couple years (on paper). Wondering how he's getting all these really good recruits? I'm hoping it is all legitimate. The MVC cou...

Thad Young inches them closer to basketball hell. 5th-7th seed in the east.

Anyone turning right around and heading to Memphis for the game on December 3rd or 4th? We are headed home after Fort Meyers and having Thanksgiving on Saturday and then headed back out to Memphis.

I’m 50/50 on Memphis. Would like to make that one happen.

Uber in Memphis?

Got my Fort Meyers package today that includes the hotel stay and game tickets. The team is staying at the Westin as an FYI. Who’s going? Taking the family down for the week. It’s the best of all worlds. Avoid Thanksgiving with extended family, get some solid weather, and watch BU beat up on a coup...

Where do Cub fans place the blame on the team's underperforming? Is this a manager issue as some suggest or a talent issue? As an outsider, this seems more of a talent issue. Since the World Series win it doesn't seem as if the front office has made the correct calls. Darvish and Chatwood have been...

If there was a Mount Rushmore of BU mens basketball assistant coaches, Tony is a surefire (and maybe only) pick. Hell of a career.

https://www.espn.com/sports/soccer/story/_/id/27001827/soccer-journey-saadiq-mohammed Wow. An incredible story. Thanks for sharing. If not posted here I'd never would have seen it. If it is about BU, sports and a very positive report, I'm all for putting this here. :td Good post. https://www.espn.c...

Everyone couldn’t figure out why Price signed an LOI and now you know. It allowed him to spend the summer taking classes at BU. Now that Kingsby is eligible (and Mast questionable) what will become of Price after summer school? Still going the prep school route or joining the team for this upcoming...

Great news. One can never take the NCAA decisions for granted when you do not play for a BCS school.

I agree. I know everyone at BU was confident but the NCAA can be dumb sometimes. Great to have him officially cleared for next year.

I also suspect, based on the total lack of info about the extent of the injury, that BU is hoping, but doesn't really know, that Reink Mast is still an incoming freshman. I’m confident that Brian Wardle doesn’t operate any facet of this program based on “hope.” The staff knows exactly what’s going ...

Only 3 rides left to fill.

They have a much improved staff on the bench this coming year, but the talent level is not nearly as good. They're preseason play-in team right?

Bunting isn't all that successful of a strategy in the first place. Unless you have a Billy Hamilton or a hitter bunting away from the shift.

Update on the girl hit by Almora’s foul ball. Man that was scary. Guys are throwing it harder than ever and hitting it harder than ever. I’m down with extended protective netting. I’m not sure why they wouldn’t just do it. Seems silly to not just spend the few thousand bucks at each park to save th...

Juwan is reportedly hiring Phil Martelli as an associate head coach. That is interesting.

Bump?

Expect good news soon?

2019 recruiting is finally done. I believe the staff has done a great job of bringing in talented players. Time will tell but from what I have seen we appear to have a lot more good shooters coming into the program. The other good thing about ending 2019 recruiting is it allows the staff to concent...

The internet's future is not a bright one. Sure, it will still continue to be used as a medium, but social media has sent forums and websites the way of the phone book, and at some point something else will come along and/or uncontrolled censorship will send those channels down a similar path. One ...

I don’t think this forum necessarily goes away. As Gatehouse continues to run a skeleton operation, I assume the person that fixes issues when it goes down, or facilitates the fix, will go away. Someone might pick up the slack, but maybe it goes down for a day or two at a time instead of an hour or ...

I think Howard's background is better then Penny's. Also, who would you have hired? An up and coming guy or a retread? Howard will also add $$$ to the program from excited alums. Will he be a Jim Les or a Gary Williams? How is Howard’s background better than Penny? Do I really have to do your homew...

Why is it a bad hire? I think this could be a very good hire. I don't entirely disagree. I'm just surprised a school like Michigan would take the risk with a think-outside-the-box hire like Howard versus someone with a successful college track record. I'd expect this from a more desperate school li...

https://twitter.com/GoodmanHoops/status/1131263721500811265 Well at least it doesn't have a domino effect late in the game. Maybe it works out.... Or maybe he's Clyde Drexler. There isn't a huge list of successful NBA players that have become a college coach and had success - at least yet. Jury is ...
