UConn is a basketball blueblood.

Quote from: BM1090 on Today at 02:17:32 PMYeah. Fritz is out of form and a bit injured. And Musetti rolled him.

Plus Musetti is fun as hell to watch and a really good player. His match vs Djoker should be great TV.

I think Tien's run ends tonight but he's established himself as a legitimate top 20 player. Better on hard courts. And that should be some really good tennis tonight too.

Shelton is playing the best tennis of his life and becoming a real threat but Sinner is the one guy I just can't see him beating.

 

Why do you think it would be easier for Shelton to beat Alcaraz than Sinner?

Quote from: #UnleashJosh on Today at 12:27:37 PMThe question is really whose winning nattys since the NIL takeover. Pretty much everything prior to that can be thrown out.

Quote from: Captain Quette on Today at 01:44:35 PMA few points:

1. 34% is considered average or ok 3 pt shooting percentage. At or above 37% is considered good.
2. His shot is triggered from behind his head similar to Joplin. Had pretty close seats at DePaul, he was right in front of me and his mechanics do not look simple.
3. Possible poor man's Stevie but think his physical play and foot speed needs work. He had trouble w quicker guards.

I am interested to see him improve on these items, he has promise.

Maybe there's some AI stuff going on on broadcasts or something because I haven't been able to get to a Marquette game this year, but this certainly isn't triggered from behind his head.  This is about as textbook fundamentally as it gets.  He isn't a sniper, but I think we'll see him be a very good 3 point shooter as soon as next season.

Owens, on the other hand, has a "wonky J."

Quote from: rocky_warrior on Today at 12:26:33 PMThere was a spell check feature, but now I *think* every modern browser has spell check included when typing into forms.  At least for me I get a red squiggly under misspelled words...you should too.
...but I thought it auto corrected as well, not just a squiggly. Not to make excuses but my typing skills are neither hear or their. ;D

There has been improvement offensively. If there can be a greater sense of urgency with defense and rebounding, then they'll be rewarded with some surprising wins over the next 5 weeks. One or two upset wins will provide some momentum into the future.

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 11:56:00 AMI think Scheelhaase was OC at Iowa State for only one year.
But yeah, not much of a resume. I think with him, and Davis Webb, teams are asking themselves if it's better to hire a guy too early and live with some growing pains than miss out on a guy who could be a star. If two years from now Scheelhaase is the next Ben Johnson or Udinski is the next Liam Coen, Cleveland isn't landing that guy.

Yea, I lumped in his 2 years as their running game coordinator as well.  Basically his first year as their RG coordinator, they had Purdy and Breece Hall and had a decent offense, but still not top 50 and finished 7-6 with those guys.  And then ISU fell off a cliff offensively.

Udinski withdrew himself from the search this morning, but otherwise I agree.  I think Davis Webb is getting the Sean Payton halo hard, but I feel like I remember him being highly regarded with film from his time as a backup, but maybe I'm mixing him up.

I'm a huge fan of McVay, he's been incredibly innovative and bounced back from that SB hangover year really well.  But I have to wonder at what point FOs are going to stop being enamored with guys just from being assistants with him, cause his coaching tree is realistically still actually nothing more than coaching vaporware.

-MLF is the most successful but he spent a single season with him his first year and was far more experienced than him overall when he was hired.

-Zac Taylor had 2 good seasons and fell to pieces.

-Brandon Staley was a mess, bordering on disaster by the end.

-KOC is his most successful true protege, but hey, he just ditched Darnold for JJ  :o

I mean, speaking of Davis Webb, Payton's tree isn't any better despite him being as good as advertised post-Saints and totally worth all the Broncos gave up.
