re: Tide Hoops | Recruiting

Again...Ware could literally be used like Clowney was.

So no need for anybody to transfer.

I'm being an a-hole I know and I'm sorry.

Serious question though while we're on the subject. Would you be ok with Bediako or Pringle transferring for us to get Ware?

Here are all their 40 minute stats from last season


Bediako 11.6 reb 3.5 blks 12.4 points
Pringle 15.4 reb 2.7 blks 17.4 points
Ware 10.3 reb 3.3 blks 16.8. points

ware shot 27% from three, the other two didnt attempt a three.

Differing opinions don't bother me. I just think it's weird to be that strongly opposed from a defensive perspective considering we just had a team with two 6'10"+ bigs and a 6'9" SF (which is even more of an extreme rare case of size) that shared the floor and was the best defensive unit in program history.

The thing that made that unit a terror on defense was the fact that we were long and had 3 very good to elite rim protectors on the floor at once. It allowed us a very unique defensive scheme where we could be extremely aggressive on closeouts with every one, and still have one the best interior defenses in the entire country.

As for Pringle, he was in the same exact situation last year with Clowney. If he wants to transfer, it'll be because of Bediako, not because we added Ware.

Remember this boys….we are the only team in NCAAt history to beat FAU.


That’s worth a banner IMO

They say you don’t want freshman in the NCAAT. I haven’t looked at FAU’s roster, but assume it’s got a decent amount of upperclassmen.

Our freshman disappeared down the stretch, went 2-18 from 3 in the SDSU game, and struggled most of the tournament.

JQ played well except for his way too many forced drives and Sears played pretty well other than his bad 0-5 from 3 (he was battling other ways including 10 rebounds, 6 of which were OReb).

Was hoping having older guards would help us, but ultimately the freshman buckled under the spotlight (which is pretty common).

Apparently they have mostly Sophomores, one freshman, and a couple Jrs and Srs.

If refs called this game the same for us, we’d have won by 10+. Hard to see a game so impacted by subjective referees.

FAU coach boldly copying Nat Oats timeout strategy…still has all 3 in his pocket despite the SDSU run. His guy just bailed him out with that 3 as the 14 point lead was down to 2 with zero timeouts taken.

I will be surprised if SDSU doesn't win, FAU’s offense is really impressing me though.

Wish they blew the whistle like this in our matchup vs San Diego St...sheesh.

SDSU couldn't miss in the second half against us, today they can't buy a basket. FAU is really good though, not sure we would have beat them, they are particularly quick and shifty yet still physical.
