This is interesting. I've seen you very down on Ace's defense, and for the most part I've agreed, although I think it is much better now than it was early on. I just noticed Ace's defensive efficiency # actually leads the team now. Pretty shocking.

For his offense. His 16 assists on the year is atrocious. The biggest benefit to his shot making is that it should draw attention away from others. He is shootng 40% from three though, and his turnover rate is lower than Dylan, JWill, and Derkack - but they all turn it over too much.

You're talking about mid-major players? We got two seemingly-strong mid-major players in the portal last year in Acuff (21.7 pts, 3.6 rb) and Derkack (17.0 pts, 6.0 rb). Do you feel that our player evaluations would be better with mid-major pickups without Bailey/Harper on the roster.... enough so that two such pickups would be a net improvement on having Bailey/Harper? That's a huge assumption - and more wishful thinking than anything else.

Bailey/Harper needed a stable core around them... and we didn't have that. If we'd somehow been able to retain Omoruyi, Mag, Simpson, Woolfolk, and Griffiths.... I feel we'd probably have been in a better place. It's not about shiny new/different/imaginary portal players... it's about Bailey/Harper slotting into an already-built-and-stable system with veterans around them to help them get acclimated.

Now we are not going to trust our senior captain to recognize what line to use ? Give me a break. He was wide open on all of them and could have taken 1 dribble and he still would have been wide open. Pike made huge error playing him and sitting Grant for 8-10 minutes.

Can’t block shots if you’re slow, play small and can’t jump an inch.

I know it's a long shot, but if anyone is selling any tickets for the Rutgers v USC basketball game in February let me know. I have family flying in for the Polar Bear Plunge that weekend and wanted to take them to the game on Sunday if possible.

I honestly think there’s a chance we don’t retain anyone save Dercack.

Last year Pops had the distinction of being the first NFL player to make it to the Super Bowl in his first two seasons in the league. He’s now extended that to three. Can he make it three championships in his first three years?

What a career!

The roster would look completely different.
We would play better defense.
We wouldn't have played Kennessaw State.

Ace NET NET is not moving the needle forward in terms of winning basketball games.
He is not making others better on offense (in fact he is making them worse).

Very good chance we wouldn't have Derkack and Davis

You don't know shit. Here's a proposal --every time you, KYK and Lou post on this board with a complaint, you donate $100 to NIL. That should raise nearly $1mil at the rate you three complain.
