Rick’s Targets

[SJU61982]

Mase we both know if this roster was compiled by pretty much any other coach this site would resemble the scene in the Movie Airplane when they tell the passengers they ran out of coffee.

In previous years, we'd be using the scene from the first "Airplane!" (probably my favorite movie of all-time, BTW) where Leslie Nielsen says "there's no reason to panic" while his nose is growing larger the whole time.

Gentlemen,
Enough of the back and forth bickering. If you feel you need to respond, please DM and save the rest of us from your discord.

Said I would take the leap with Dingle
Plus fun to type Dingle

Sure he was never teased over that name. Or it could be like a Boy Named Sue rationale. "Knew you had to get tough or die"

Since I'm lurking on twitter too much during this recruitment cycle, I'm guessing one of them is Massoud to Georgetown (Trilly scoop). But idk the second one.

Tipton just posted a commit for DePaul and Slater alluded to the other one being about Butler so it's not us.

I forgot his name but there is a kid that just listed his Top 3 all BE schools so maybe him.

That was Georgetown I believe in Slater was referring to

I put Airplane on for my 10 year old (Possible not age appropriate but funny is funny) and he was loving it.

Imagine they tried to make this movie now. Just wouldn't happen. It's sad.

I'm also going to through on the Three Amigos for him this weekend. Another classic!

Actually think 2nd one is better
Both great and age surprisingly well

Yeah it is surely Ish Massoud to Gtown.

 

[TonyinFairfield]

P

Surely you can't be serious...

I was. And don't call me Shirley.

Ah my bad. Either way it wasn't a red thunderstorm riding a skateboard on a court

Based on what Pitino said I think that’s the thought process. If he can get another combo guard that can play 2 but handle the 1 at times (perhaps Cruz develops there too), and you get a 4/5 or 5/4 type, you can add another wing as your third if you think the talent is too good to pass up.

I like roster balance, but one of the best St. John's teams we've ever had was a bunch of 6'4"-6'7" guys playing a precursor of positionless basketball

One of my favorite college basketball teams was the 1989 Illinois team that went to the final four had 5 starters between 6-5 and 6-8.

The knock mentioned during the season the few times UCONN struggled was that they didn’t have a true point guard. Worked out okay for them.

Unfortunately.

Maybe it is because I was (and am) 5’9” but IMO, height is the 3rd most overrated stat in basketball behind blocked shots and steals.

I loved the Arkansas squad of the three 6’4’s Sidney Moncrief Marvin Delph and Ron Brewer.
