A teammate of mine tore is ACL. It was 6 and a half months before he was able to practice.  9 months seems about average, and I would be surprised if he was not practicing to some extent after 9 months.

THere is no win or lose.  Likely settled...but depositions will be taken.  And Rodriguez will now have to address whatever comes out in those depositions.  

Likely settled.....  we have all seen companies,  teams, ect make decisions.  Then based on public opinion reverse those decisions.  Winning makes that harder.  We will see.  Maybe if "something new" comes out in those depositions it will allow the President to reverse course.  

The sad thing to all of this is : if they win this will be swept under the rug (See Vermont). If they lose then I believe they all go down. 

This is the first I heard that it "drew blood" however not a freshman left the program and he continues to recruit.  Either way not a good look for the program. 

This 2nd half is about intensity. They are going to come out and try to establish the ball down low.  Need to make adjustments to the adjustments.

Is everyone’s ESPN feed choppy or is it just me?

Everyone.  Bad.  Just bad.  Unacceptable to be honest.  But it makes perfect sense.

Not sure what happened to Neely with MVP not showing a replay. Anyone have an idea what happened there?

Knee injury . Does not look good . 

Very lucky to only be down a few.  Siena has not taken a bad shot.  Can't say the same about us.  No idea of this teams offensive or defensive identity.

Is he due a red-shirt from last year [played in only one game] or a covid year? Or will he have used everything up after this year?

It's my understanding he has another year if he wants it.  

Everything I wanted to see in the 2nd half I saw.  Great 2nd half . Plain and simple. 

They really picked up the intensity. 

Ketner killed us there.  Constantly out of position.  Killed us.  Can't play him right now.  Just can't.  

Good old Ketners in . Awesome 

Too many lay ups.  Just wayyyy to many.  

I want to see them play better defense in the 2nd half.  Also cut down on the turnovers and bad shots. That's what I'll be looking for in the 2nd half. 

Caoches cant put the ball in the basket. That being said our sets are terrible.  Our defense is terrible.  Those things can be coached . Very poor.  This is a mid major team . Not Kansas. 

8 layups a wide open 2 and a wide open 3.  

Towson has 6 layups and a wide open 3. The sets they run are awesome.  Our sets look like pick up ball. 

I believe flohoops may also be doing the florida tournament.  So if u pay for this today I believe you will be able to watch the tournament within the month.   I'm not 100 percent sure.  So check it out first.  

I try to be completely honest in my assessment of all the teams I follow. 

So I will say this , no we have not played well, but against st rose we missed 3 big peaces that really should give us a combined 25 to 30 points.  Amica, Edmead, and Neeley. Those 3 should have major contributions to this team.  I know st rose was missing O'Dell but those 3 should be huge . 

According to Twitter Amica is hurt (what else is new). To what extent, who knows.

Disagree wholly on Ketner.  Little completely agree.  As a pure body man, Ketner giving 10 min a game this year burning fouls, bodying guys and getting us 3 points and 3 boards will be fine.  I actually think he has solid upside as an 8th man. 

That said, so far I haven't seen much change from last year and this is a sub .500 AE team.  Bryant and Vermont will boat race this team out of the building.  

Ketner is constantly out of position defensively.  Uses his body incorrectly and pushes off with his forearm every play.  Offensive he has no mid game. Does not hit free throws.  Constantly out of position on the block.  Need to learn of SLIDE his feet onto the block. (Creates terrible angles for the incoming pass) Again I truly hope I'm wrong but I know basketball and football . He has a ton and I mean a ton of work to do.  

I have watched now "3" games.  I want too say a lot but I'll wait until the season starts . I will say this.  If Ketner or Little play more then 3 mins a game we are in serious trouble.  If the injured players don't average double digits each we are in serious trouble 

Looking completely out of sorts.  Will Brown teams seemed to lack the talent later in his tenor, but they were always prepared.  Could always see what they were trying to do.  

Not so much with this team.  Even last year there were several times where I just said ....what is going on?

Have a long way to go.  We will see.  

NEED TO FIRE GG NOW. Promote the OC and let him see if he can change things for the final handful of games.  

I have cut my annual giving to almost nothing.  I won't support a program that does not support itself.  Cancelled my season tickets 2 years ago.  

Benson needs to be asked tough questions but we are not a big time program so it will never happen.  Poor poor poor coaching. Poor poor poor leadership.  

Interesting that we don't have a "secret scrimmage" set up.  My guess is that we need every practice possible.  I don't expect a lot from this team this year.  I just hope that this team is fun to watch.
