I could absolutely see matchups against elite guard duos where Tony wants to sic Dante and Reece on them. Talking Wade Baldwin and Ty Radford for A&M, or Cadeau and Davis at UNC.

Everyone loves Leon. Everyone also wants a fictional character, not an actor, to play them in a movie:

If you could swap lives with a teammate for a day, who would it be and why?
Minor: Leon Bond III because who wouldn’t want to be Leon Bond?

Who would play you in a movie?
Minor: Definitely would have to be Spiderman. No questions asked.

Lol there’s some mess up with that movie character question. Gotta be. Answers seem too weird.

At this point they have to have a running team joke on the Bond answer.

Need to enroll these guys in some remedial drama classes. Some basic concepts being misunderstood! :joy: (stay away from art, though)

He must be the Justin Anderson heir apparent in terms of fun personality.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the recent answers to “Who would play you in a movie?”

Rohde: Channing Tatum. He played Jason Lyle from the movie Coach Carter.
Groves: Will Ferrell.
Robinson: Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) from 2 Fast 2 Furious.
Buchanan: Ben Affleck. People say he looks like me. I don’t know.
Gertrude: Keanu Reeves. In any John Wick and Matrix movies.
Bliss: Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr.) from Power. He is smooth.
Minor: Definitely would have to be Spiderman. No questions asked.

There is definitely some confusion. They need to ask a follow-up question just to see what happens: “Which movie character are you?”

My guess is Bond gets lots of attention on Grounds ala JA in his day

Interesting. FIU would probably be 15-20 point dogs on the road (going by TRank) if this were a regular season game.

#1 - have heard that guy Rico on Titus. Not really sure about the barstool “hire only obnoxious people” strategy, but it does seem to work for them (in fairness, could be good natured with Fanta- think they did an airport selfie recently - and yes I’m too online in college hoops)

#2 - the most impressive guys were there last year (Richard and Kugel), so not sure about Tilly’s portal comment.

#3 - Pullin out for our game

#4 - we need to find a second guard defender who doesn’t give up size or quickness or ability to shoot to beat the better teams on our schedule. Do we have that guy? :man_shrugging:
