I’ve thought this about kids on the rec league team I coach. Only explanation for some of the decision making.

Notable that @Miraclemaker11 and @DavetheWave dropped insider nuggets on Jan Vide and Ibe yesterday around the same time? Practice info leaking or just coincidence and Dave postulating in line with his preferences?

We finish 3rd in this based on Bennett/Sanchez transfers. I was thinking we’d be last because it was pretty much just Dallin Hall, totally forgetting Bennett/Sanchez transfers.

Marquette #29 in Torvik projections. Xavier #57.

Nice to get the flagship even if it is a 12p game. Same for being on ESPN2.

I enjoyed this…nice conversation. He doesn’t say a lot, but is clearly high on Sam’s summer and his role this season.

Sam looked like he put on a good amount of muscle when I saw him in person. Could be misremembering but looked like a pro.

The development Sam needs to become a pro is between the ears (and maybe a little foot speed)

It’s notable b/c he’s mentioned Sam’s improvement in just about every interview and continues to talk about the improvement in his handle

7 Likes

That implies a Sam at the 2, Nolan at the 3 starting lineup to me

I think Chance maybe mentioned this in the VIP interview with JB?

Hopeful that the muscle and handle and foot speed are downstream of this. Homeboy just needs to keep his focus and his cool in high stakes game.

Correct, as well as other great info and insights. If you aren’t on VIP, this alone is worth the price of admission!

Harmon was the other guy that stood out in person as a pro-type body. I remember hearing he may have been injured - he was in a crowd of people so maybe I missed it, but didn’t see any boot.

There was a physically imposing big. Couldn’t tell if it was Ibe or maybe it was Landoure on his visit? Either was he was built like a brick house.

Martin seemed slight. Also looked like he was enjoying the college life…

Barksdale didn’t look super imposing physically.
