Between Blaise, Lloyd and Ulis we ended up with three scholarships that contributed nothing to the games. We should pry expect 2-3 scholarships to have little to no impact each season, so we still have some work to do.

Fingers crossed!

Exactly. Now Brice can be our KT replacement. That has some advantages to it, as I see it.

Wouldn’t you love it if a kid was an absolute stud and had a good sense of humor, and a coach said something to the effect of “I have no idea why the NIL collective offered this kid what they did. He must have a co-sponsorship lined up with a pine processing company because that’s what he’s gonna be riding.” You know, just to mix it up a bit.

Trying to figure out how he was only third team AAC.

Seems to have had trouble staying healthy. One full season in four years.

Can’t wait until Fidler commits to someone else at 8:00am Monday and this thread can die.

The perfect Wilcher replacement.

Would step seamlessly into the coach Cal role of first winning a championship, then pulling in crazy talent and getting bounced the first weekend of the tourney.

I’m just saying it took Derrick time to learn how to do those things and put it all together his fifth year. Maybe Payne could too. Very happy to have Morgan in the fold. Will be a very nice addition to the roster.

His year two numbers are strikingly similar to Derrick’s year four numbers.

How did Derrick Walker fit into the offense?

Locked in cloud cover here in Minneapolis with no hope. The last one though in 2017 I got to watch totality from my childhood driveway, so I'll take the tradeoff.

Gary fits better in that wing role than always having to guard guys bigger than he is. I think another big would be huge to get him out on the wing.

Yeah, given how the season played out, and how his knee is right now, I think Reink might welcome a little post help. We didn’t have a backup center last year and he had to carry more of the load than he probably should have. If Reink stays now, we won’t be asking our forwards/wings to play out of position as much. That’s a nice selling point for players we’re pursuing out of the portal at those spots.

And if you start it at 7:30 on the east coast, people on the west coast are still at work for the first half. It’s easier to stay up later than leave work for most people. And this game is taking place in the Pacific time zone, which has to factor into planning with regards to people actually attending the game. Just tough to make everyone happy with four time zones to consider.

This is great! So much fun!

Wow! That was more fun!

That was fun!

Getting enough size that Gary doesn’t have to play the four would be ideal. So having three solid players other than him to rotate at the 4/5 would be great. About 27 minutes each.

Yeah, we started Allick and Mast together toward the end of the year. Mast and Morgan wouldn’t be a fun scout for other teams. I haven’t watched much film on him though, can he be the primary defender on opposing fours in our system?

My goodness, Portal Combat is gold.
