Countdown to Baseball Season

We're down 7 on the road to a top 25 team, relax.

Darius Acuff is the only new guy that plays winning basketball.

He scores when he gets opportunities and gets his teammates good looks all game long.

Meleek is a shot chucker that continues to fire away when the team doesn't want/need him to. He has got to learn to make his teammates better when he's struggling like that. But when he puts the ball on the floor bad things happen often. So...

Malique has gotten better, but he still puts up little resistance on defense.

Pringle, is well... not good. Doesn't rebound, doesn't score, doesn't block or even alter shots. Worst transfer we've had in the NIL era.

IMO

I think Karter needs more minutes over Meleek because he's a bigger body that can make open threes. He also defends better, blocks shots, and can score in paint. His only flaw is his consistent ability to fall down or lose his balance.


Billy should start over DJ. The only way my opinion would change on that is if DJ would start driving to the basket and getting those layups, and or drawing fouls to shoot ft's. I have no idea why he refuses to do it.

So

Acuff
Billy
Knox
Brazile
Ewin

Our defense is atrocious

Without significant improvement, this will be our downfall in March. You cannot be giving up 80+ to every remotely decent team you play and expect to go very far.

Never works out for us for some reason.






I expect to go 49-19, finish second in the conference, and be eliminated by LSU in the tournament. I will drink some beer and appreciate the fine season. No sarcasm at all. I've just learned to accept and enjoy it.

Almost impossible not to have a bit of a drop off from last year's offensive production. Hopefully the top end pitching is better and Gaeckle can be the guy we need him to be.

The ninth inning meltdown was just as bad as the foul ball.

This is Dave's year, schedule is extremely favorable and he's recruited well.

It's this year or never for DVH.


We're winning it all this season
