Perfect, thank you very much. There are many other articles but they are written in French. This one says all you need to know. As I said his 16 year old brother Emile plays with my son in the Adidas Gauntlet. A very nice family, the boys have great parents.

Sounds like a fabulous trip for a team.
I’d make a joke now about St. John’s taking a team trip...by bus...to Bahamas, W. VA, but never mind.
Lol.
Yup, I hope the team takes a great Summer trip soon...by Air...First Class!
Actually, always wondered how basketball teams travel.
Must be very spaced-apart seats!
Actually dunno.
Something else I know nothing about.
Lol.

The players are yes. Good to do it in a year where you are breaking in a lot of new players which in today's day and age is just about every year.

Myles Powell on future: “You don’t pass up being an All-American, [potential] Preseason Player of the Year [in your league], one of best 10-15 players in the country to sit there in the G-League. If the right opportunity comes, me and my family will have to talk about it." #shbb

Ahhhhhh to be smart
Good call Moose. This kid has NBA level wing talent, but another year will be so beneficial to him. Needs to work on his three and reduce turnovers but has decent size and great natural ability.

I hate to bring this up, but CMA does not have a great history of playing in these kinds of tournaments. Looking at his Arkansas teams, he went to the Preseason NIT once, the Maui once, the Las Vegas Invitational once, and they played in that special Nike tournament two years ago. The other years, he's opted to host round-robin style events in Fayetville (though he went to Minnesota one year), playing 3 or 4 usually bad teams, over the course of about 4 or 5 days.
I'm sure he does this to work out kinks in the defense early in the year (he even hinted at his press conference, that his teams don't look pretty in November or December), but that optic is not going to fly here. Now this year, we have the Mohegan Sun Tournament. Not the best one in the world, but as long as we are participating in something, I won't complain. It will be interesting to see what he does in the future.

Just curious, why won't the "optic" fly here; I would much rather be playing my best ball at the end of the year; picture 2018-2019, that experienced team certainly didn't get better - it collapsed.

NCAA Tournament committee might hold something like that against you, if you're on the bubble, or they might knock you down a seed or two (which could be a positive, sometimes).
