If Pringle is anything like Hall we'll be in good shape in the paint.

Reading between the lines this sounds like, "I need him to stop trying to dunk every time in practice and start doing the fundamental things better."

Most definitely! There's no doubt Pringle has aspects of his game that needs work but we lacked a player like him last season. Pringle literally plays above the rim and the DUNKERS SPOT is where he will live. I expect a lot of lobs from our guards to him.

Another guy who people will be impressed with is Noah Clowney.

He's good!

His shot mechanics will need work but that's what Coach Oats & company are here for to develop players as well.

He has a ton of potential and it's all about learning and developing now. I think Henry Barrera will have a positive impact on his development from now to the first game.

Texas Tech had a guy a few years back with a similar play style.

Tariq Owens is his name!

Joka we all appreciate the enthusiasm and how you hype up every player on the roster, but you’re making these concrete statements off of high school highlight tapes.

Let’s see how they pan out before we put these ridiculous expectations on them and you feel like you have to defend every minute criticism of them.

What expectations are you talking about?

Saying someone has a similar play style is putting expectations on somebody?

Yea, I love your love of the tide Joka but I can't do another season where any disappointment in players or coaches is met with "well but actually it's good because"

How good are these teams we are playing in 2 weeks? Are these Games we should win,Are these games we should lose, Or are these evenly matched games?

I think the year we made the tournament under Grant, we almost lost an exhibition game to UAH. So, regardless of result, I would try just not to put too much stock into the games haha

Oh yeah for sure. Oats won’t say it but He is definitely prioritizing development over winning in these games

Pretty pumped to play Izzo. Sure would be nice to start in the winner’s bracket. It’s probably my negative memory, but I feel like we rarely ever get into the winner’s bracket.

We are getting 3 solid teams no matter what. So 2-1 in whatever order they come will be a success IMO
