Seems like we're going to have an offense/defense rotation of Tarrin and Parker at point.  Sounds like Smith should increase the amount of firepower and assists opportunities while on the court.

Thanks for putting all this together - lots of good info.

 

The best thing you can hear with a team that is coming off a season of great success with the majority of players returning is that they are even hungrier and want to accomplish more. You don't want them to be coasting in the off-season, relying on past success to carry them through (cough, 2014 Fla St football, cough).

 

Regarding Hammond I'm sure they'll pick  & choose their spots where he can have success early in the season, keep his confidence high. I like his talent level.

 

And Smith sounds like quite a recruiting coup - everyone sounds really high on him - Miles & staff's ability to spot talent that others overlook is pretty impressive ... and they're also now showing the ability to go out & get Top 100 kids as well. Great news for the future.

 

Focusing on now though, when I see things like NU picked in the top 4 of the B1G, or NU picked preseason Top 25, and hear this brimming confidence and optimism out of players, I have to shake my head. It almost seems surreal.

 

But I'm with Miles - you can never win too much or too soon in a coaching career.  :D  It's a good problem to have.

Love the comparison of TP and a sane Sprewell. He doesn't have Latrell's speed, but everything else seems spot on.

 

From day one, I've had the notion that TP5 reminds me more of Richard Hamilton, so a sane Spree would be a speedier version of Rip.

Some other tidbits from Miles I didn't see mentioned

 

- Fuller needs to work on his defense to keep guys in front of him.

- Tarin dunked over one of our post players...after jumping off the wrong foot.

I saw a video of Tarin throwin' it down over Moses! Parted the Red Sea... ;)

Petteway confirmed he should be graduating in May, BTW

 

Does that mean he would be eligible to be a graduate transfer?  Not that I think he would do that, but I imagine a lot of big-time programs would be interested.

I believe so. Obviously this seems unlikely.

Well I hear Texas Tech is looking for players
