He loves his alma mater, ACU ("A Catholic University")!

Quote from: BM1090 on February 25, 2026, 11:02:07 AMEh, I think you can see it with this year's freshmen. NJ and AS are clear. Same as you could see it with DO and RP. I think MP is in that group, but agree with JB he needs to learn how to play basketball and play this system.

I never saw that high of a ceiling with Chase or Tre. I did with Ben, and honestly I still do. I just don't think he has the mentality to reach it. He's so quick and has a good handle for a 7 footer, he just never learned how to play in traffic. Game never slowed down, and that part is tougher to see when judging potential.

I'd break it down like...

High ceiling, high floor - RP, NJ, AS (lower ceiling than the other two)
High ceiling, low floor - MP, DO

Too early to tell on everyone else but CH, who definitely does not have a high ceiling.

Mentality? BG is averaging a foul less called on him per game this year.

And as we've seen, he has an exceptionally low floor.

Quote from: Warrior of Law on February 25, 2026, 02:21:48 PMOne could argue that the trajectory of the end of 2026 is better than the trajectory of the end of 2025. This team is improving with younger players who will (presumptively) return and continue to get better. With the right addition(s), a return to the NCAA tournament should be a realistic goal.

100%.  The arrow is pointing up.  There is clear high level talent that needs to be supplemented.  There is no hoping they will be good or hoping they will step up with Nigel and Royce.  There is a feeling that they are two stars.  Never had that feeling with the returning players from 2025.  I have a much better feeling going into next year assuming they keep the core together and add a couple players from the portal.

Quote from: wadesworld on February 25, 2026, 03:25:06 PMYes.  I'm making fun of GE's take that he wants us to lose ASAP in the BET because we don't want to get injured in a meaningless BET game.

Oh...lol...of course.

Metallica is doing eight weekend shows at the Sphere in October. I'm not much of a Metallica fan and don't care about ever going back to Vegas, but them at the Sphere, damn, I might need to check it out.
