Keeping Up with Old Friends (The Transferred Thread)

[royalfan]

New Mexico st.  Still have nightmares about sam Crawford breaking down our d and finding big athletic guys seemingly every possession and listening to them scream really loud while dunking.

Reincarnation can do a lot for a guy's physique.

Akol staying close to home...should be dominant in the Summit League with his athleticism.

I'm super happy for him. Power 5 conference bball was a low-probability of success with all the things that needed to happen to retool him into a "3 & D" or "Slasher & D" player he needed to be to be effective at our level. Khyri Thomas was his ceiling as a player - but Khyri had much more ball handling skills and guard background than Akol ever did. 

Summit league ball should allow him to be a bit more of a quasi 3-4 tweener, and his athleticism will be more valuable. He's also going to simply play more and have the ball more - which should help him get in a better groove. I'm super excited for UNO and who they've brought in - they're a fun program to watch and Coach Hansen is one of the best dudes in the business.

Summitt is a good competive league that gives bigger leagues problems.

 

Good for him.

I would make some comments, but I better not.

As am I. By far, the Mavs are my favorite Omaha-based Division I athletic program.

Growing up 120 miles west of Omaha, I had never even really heard of Creighton until I was 12 years old.

 

Looking back, those were 12 pretty good years.

Now here’s a name I thought I’d never hear again.. Back in the state nonetheless

[aphilso1]

Not gonna lie, I don't remember this guy.  The name is barely familiar but not the face.

It's because he never played a game.  In fact he only lasted for about one Burno:

Looks like Cam Mack has signed up for the same Degree NIL campaign that Adrian Martinez is doing - weird coincidence since there's only 12 athletes in total on the campaign.

I thought with NIL, players for fighting for more than just getting a degree... And here they are, just using NIL to get a Degree.

Not exactly a 'Transfer' but certainly Qualifies as an 'Old Friend'

Deverell Biggs is playing with a team of Creighton alums in TBT this year, and he hit the game winner in their opening round game:

 

 

Not gonna lie, there's a lot about this that makes me feel uncomfortable.

what makes me uncomfortable was trying to guard or even dribble against Dev a few weeks ago in pick up ball. Did not go well for me at all.

He's perfect for the kind of "system" they run.

Must suck to be stuck in a portal.  Has anybody formed a search committee?
