Incorrect. Highly protected meaning, you would not even get a redacted document.

Haven't tried it yet...is the browser safe? I have been tempted but it looks too good to be true. You have had no probems? As for killings, barring an NCAA run i don't think he's getting a new contract.

Two glaring "Clueless" Killings moves today, both involving Thomas. 1. Putting him in with 40 or so seconds to go in the first with three fouls. Sorry, getting a fourth foul on a potential charge (and that is a reasonable event that could occur due to his playing style) is not worth going up 3 or 4 (I forget the exact score) heading into the second half. Absolutely Binging stupid rookie coaching movie; and 2. Thomas' bad side showed in the last 100 seconds...forcing way too much and trying to play hero ball. I get it, he's the man on the team...but DK (as you allude) had a TO with less than a minute remaining, yet he didn't use it appropriately. Anyone who has coached high school and higher knows that in that situation, on the road, you use the TO to calm your leader...and get a play set. FIRE KILLINGS...GUY IS A CHARLATEN.

Fair question. 1- He should get all the minutes he got for us because even with his downfalls, which include horrific defense and inconsistent movement on offense that stopped him from getting good positioning, he still averaged an EASY double double. 2- He would get maybe 20-25 a game at UVM precisely because of his lazy defense and inability to be consistent on offense. Quite frankly, Beagle disappointed me as a player. He has all the tools in his arsenal (I think?!) to be a 20 and 8 guy. He really did not take a jump this year and it starts with defense. His defense was atrocious...and that's being polite. On paper, he has all the tools to become a top 30-40 all-time AE Big....maybe even a higher ceiling than that. However, he progressed this year from last year merely on talent alone and not because of effort. Can some of that be a team conflict situation with Amare, Sebastian, and Beagle not wanting to share the ball? No idea. If it was, then that is on Killings who should have recruited around Beagle. Again, all speculation. However, there is absolutely ZERO reason that Beagle, Thomas, and Marshall...on paper, should have all been int he Top 15 players of the league...and could have easily contributed a combined 55-60 ppg offensively, regularly. If Beagle's lack of progression was due to my last paragraph, then it is primarily on Killings and Beagle, with some fault to Thomas and Marshall. If it was lack of effort, then that is just on Beagle. However, he literally DID NOT progress this year and any team worth their salt figured him out. Kid couldn't pass out of a double team if he had a 5 foot passing lane in front of him. Either way, to surmise the answer to your question--he would be a role player at Vermont, UVM, and Bryant the way those teams were constructed this year...and playing similar minutes as he did for us for UNH on down. -

He is definitely a "fine" four for the AE, up to 10 minutes per game. That's all. Again, Killings put a $ienaty construction together for this team. Neely is not a 4, he's a 3. So if he was hoping Neely was a 4, Beagle was a 5....well, issues with that construction. We don't have a true 4. To me, the starting line up (in a perfect world) would have been Thomas, Marshall, Neely, Reddish, and Beagle. Or replace Reddish with Jackson...but Jackson is NOT a 2. Jackson, Bertram, Little, and a 4 that wasn't recruited by Killings, i.e. he miscalculated, would be the first four off the bench. You give the Argentine kid or Margoupis some minutes at the 4/5. And little comes in for a spark. That's your squad. Not having a true 4 was a huge problem. Frankly put, Newton and Filiien are "break for an emergency" guys, situationally put in and averaging about 5 min a game each over a season. Margoupis and Adnan should have been redshirted....and if you had a proper 4, you might be able to redshirt the Argentine. With respect to Matalu and Walker, they are just practice bodies. That's my opinion. Not having a proper 4 or 5 to come in...was absolutely horrendous recruiting. -

Agreed...and he is NIOWHERE CLOSE to Travis Charles. Not even in the same zip code. He seems like a good kid, but he is exactly what was said here-- 5 to 10 minute guy. He is playing over his talent right now...his talent is a motor and eating up time. He also does a decent job of cleaning up bunnies.
