OT: 2019-20 boog hoops

[DM8]

Okoro playing on ESPN 2 right now at the hoops summit. Solid first half. Played the fewest minutes of anyone on the team with 4:33, but third in scoring for team USA with 4 points and added a couple of boards and a nice assist. Announcers raved about his defense as well.

 

[Gran_Polla]

He Played great! He is an outstanding defender. He’ll play early and offen once he gets to AU.

Ha. Good for them I guess

I believe they'll be a good bit better simply because Avery Johnson is a really poor coach and any replacement was likely to be an upgrade in that department. The key for them will be helping their new guy recruit after this first little burst. He's gonna need a good season to convince most kids cause he's an unknown.

Gotta give him credit for playing with a broken thumb. That’s shit hurts!!

Sounds like to me he will be fired, but they had to reinstate him as of right now because the lack of knowledge from the federal investigation. You can talk shit all you want as long as money doesn’t exchange hands.

Some bitterness from Rick, that's clearly a shout to both schools for not being able to work something out. He's likely mad at UT for not being more lenient with the buyout and negotiating down once he informed them he wanted to leave and he's even more furious with UCLA for pursuing him while knowing there was a buyout and then not paying up to get him when they decided he was their guy. I'd be pretty miffed as well.

Sounds like Billy Donovan could get canned right after the college coaching carousel kind of finished. I know he'd like to stick around the nba, but my guess is he's back in the college ranks in 2020 if OKC does indeed can him.

I agree that he will be back in college in 2020. And I think that happens even if OKC keeps him around. I could see him returning there and being a mid season firing. Although I don't really think he's done poorly there. The roster is just good enough that people think you should contend but not good enough that you actually have any chance vs the elite NBA teams now.

He would have been a dynamite hire for someone like UCLA. They'll be kicking themselves a year from now stuck with Mick Cronin while some other program has just hired Donovan. I don't want him anywhere near the SEC, so I'm glad most schools are settled or at least very recently tied to a new hire.

What’s the word on Dr C? Still showing up in late 1st/ early 2nd mock drafts. Don’t want to jinx anything but I assume he’s coming back at this point.

I think he's gotta declare and see what the feedback is right?

As far as the projections I'd throw everything out before the draft combine stuff. Chuma won't be there but lots of dudes have chances to impress and that will immediately change the boards. That's when I think the injury starts to show up on draft boards.....or if enough guys don't impress outside the top 15 maybe it solidifies his spot?

I just know I've watched this before and while the top 3-6 virtually stay the same the wild swings from guys outside of that and outside of the lottery start with the combine and team workouts.

Antisemitism is everywhere folks. So sad.

My bama buddy told me they were going to make a run at Billy D before they hired anyone. I guess he told them no. I'm so glad he didn't end up there.

Nothing too groundbreaking but a nice littled detailed break down of Okoro's best moments in practice and during the game at the Nike Summit. Basically, already grown man elite defender but needs Bruce to iron out his shooting form

@DM8 you think we’re going to pick up a bigger game?

An away game at Washington would be a Quad 1 game. Not sure why Bruce would ditch that for something “bigger.” I guess it’s possible but seems unlikely

I wasn’t even thinking about that. I was just thinking Bruce maybe ditching it for a CBS type game.

I’m guessing coming off a final 4 run and the presumed title favorite again next year we got some big time neutral site showcase game possibilities. Maybe some fellow bluebloods wanting another ass whoopin as part of a new home and home series.

I like what @DM8 said on tbb. Let’s play something big in ATL. Like Auburn Louisville/Syracuse/UNC

 

[DM8]

Not sure. One of the guys on twitter speculated that we found out we have to go to ISU in the Big 12 challenge and thus didn't want another tough road game. I think its equally plausible that we have another home and home set up that will start with the away leg. I sort of hate to see us drop the UW game given that they will be down next year and it would have been a relatively easy quad 1 win assuming our roster shakes out nicely.

This tourney using Chuma’s pic even though there’s no chance he plays in it. #starpower

This is way way way way OT, but has that imbecile auliferz, whatever his tag is, ever come over here? He rustles me something fierce (which does not happen too often). Dude is annoying AF (and thinks he knows everything)

He's stopped by once or twice to drop some long winded nothingness but was properly ridiculed, thus leaving us.

Thank goodness. Cooked bumped some of his old sht on tbb a few weeks ago about Chuma vs. Alex Reese (lmao) and I realized that dude is a nutjob

Yeah that's what we got him riled up here about. We immediately regretted inviting him.

Someone needs to find the thread where he was explaining how Lady Gaga was in some sort of cannabilistic lummanaddi cult. My favorite liferz thread there will probably ever be.

@CowardlyToaster had some fun with that one for quite a while as I recall
