Good stuff gang. All docs due to the FBI today. If we don't hear anything in the coming days I suspect BRUCE is safe. Hopeful the studs involved will face short suspensions at most.
What documents exactly? Surely we didn't document actual cheating. That would be some Chuck Person dumbassery.Good stuff gang. All docs due to the FBI today. If we don't hear anything in the coming days I suspect BRUCE is safe. Hopeful the studs involved will face short suspensions at most.
Not docs I guess. All communications (phone records, emails, social media, etc) with croots and their families from all staff has to be turned over to the FBI. I assume we reviewed it before turning it over so if there's nothing implicating BRUCE should be good there.What documents exactly? Surely we didn't document actual cheating.

I've been travelling the internet for info on EJ and it doesn't appear anything is imminent with him and another program. I think we're still in the picture. Haven't hear of anyone else we're pursuing that hard at the moment. Roster still looks stacked for 18.Anyone have a clue on who we are after for the 2018 class? Is EJ Montgomery still a possibility, or has that ship completely sailed?
No seniors on this team, but we are likely losing Wiley and Heron to the draft. Will need at least 2 more to add to the 2018-2019 roster.
Would be nice if we could get him back. Assuming we may hit the grad tranny market again and obtain a stud. Diante Wood is also an option if we want him.I've been travelling the internet for info on EJ and it doesn't appear anything is imminent with him and another program.

That worries me. I'm guessing the FBI is making sure we didn't have any dealings with rouge agents and shoe companies (other than Chuck I guess).Not docs I guess.

Yeah. I'm thinking Danjel gonna be gone after this year too so need to find a couple guys. Just noticed that JUCO big Shaq Carter committed to Rutgers. Maybe Jemison?Would be nice if we could get him back. Assuming we may hit the grad tranny market again and obtain a stud. Diante Wood is also an option if we want him.
To be honest, a lot of that was on Bruce. We didn't practice defense near as much as we should have up until we were embarrassed a bunch last year and by then it was too late. There was a good amount of head butting going on last year between Chuck and Bruce. It was all respectful but it could have probably been handled better. The truth is Chuck knows basketball as well as anyone but he was a pretty awful teacher of the game. He wasn't good at being able to communicate with our guys especially with us being as young as we were. Add that with us half ass practicing defense a few times a week and that's a huge reason we were so bad on defense last year. This is really the only thing that worries me this year. Bruce is an offensive guy and while we are devoting a lot more time practicing and going over defense than we have in the past, we did just lose our defensive coach. And we really don't have another one on staff. With all of our guys coming back and us adding 4 very solid defensive players in the off-season, I think Chuck was really starting to be able to communicate with them better. With that said, I'm not all that worried about it. I think we have some of the best talent and scorers in the nation if we can keep all our guys and we seem to be a really close team. We are putting a much bigger emphasis on defense and our guys seem to be buying into that but it is definitely somewhat of a concern.One underrated part of Chuck being in jail instead of on our sidelines is that we don't have to deal with that NBA mentality running our defense anymore. We simply refused to go zone when it was obvious we couldn't play man. When we did go zone, we looked like we were being coached by a man who had forgotten what zone was.
Defense at the college level is nothing like defense at the NBA level. Chuck never seemed to adjust. It was a mess. So maybe his absence will fuel some improvement there.
I can’t blame them. If Bruce had gotten the squad to the NIT last year, would probably be different
Perfect. Still need that chip on our shoulder. Mizzou and bama getting so much love but we have easily as much talent.
unfortunate. Love his amount of stars. Guess he can find more PT at those schools if he wants to play PG. Thought he was a 2.
also looks like Will Richarson will not be coming to Boog Town. Don't know what the deal is there, but I'm guessing they backed off once Bruce signed that VCU transfer.
Damn what a slap in the face to MUSTAPHA. Austin too
Wtf. Set the DVR for 10-2 on SECN. Guess they won’t even be covering it that late.BRUCE will have his media day presser at 4:45. Brown and Spencer will be interviewed between 5:15 and 5:45.
Oh my.Holy cow. I was perusing tbb and it looks like they’ve handed over bball coverage to that rotten old epersona Archie:
This is a quote from tbb mod(s)?"We are not planning to attend"
Oh my gah what a dope. Thought he didn't want to 'impugn" anyone? Now he's just gonna implicate the entire roster and corching staff in the name of laziness."We're all in a weird position with hoops because something is going to happen there that will greatly affect the eligibility of certain players, which may end up rendering the team moot. I am not willing to allocate a ton of coverage to a team in limbo like that. That's my explanation."
Please tell @Jay G. Tate that I laughed at his myopic view on this issue. What a dumbass."We're all in a weird position with hoops because something is going to happen there that will greatly affect the eligibility of certain players, which may end up rendering the team moot.

Excellent:what was the contact info to cancel? I was planning on just riding out my subscription, but they’ve already stopped trying to update and follow recruiting and now they’re just aggregating other news stories and refusing to cover the team?
I’ve never had a personal issue with Jay and never wished ill will on anyone over there - but stupidity and laziness cannot be rewarded... I hope he goes broke
