Thats not at all true of his junior year - he played with 2 very good (by MAC standards) players. That team should have had the talent to compete for a MAC title and instead they were Eddie Jordan level awful. I certainly didn’t watch all of his games at Eastern Michigan, but I highly doubt you did either (most probably weren’t even on TV).
His time at Eastern Michigan was defined by being a focal point of the offense. The bottom line is it would be a challenge for any player to go from that to a catch and shoot type sharp shooter role. That’s all I meant by fit. A lot of his strengths on offense require him to be the navigator which cancels out some of what Dylan offers. That’s all.

Sure - it’s possible he would be doing better without the injury but there’s no way of knowing that one way or the other. The point is - we knew off the bat he was a negative on D and he’s not known to be a good rebounding guard (like Jordan- for example) - and he was a one and done so there would be no future benefit potential from bringing him on for the year. Those things in combination suggest IMO that he was a poor fit overall.

It's a message I am all in favor of my children listening and dancing to and one of the songs performed by Kendrick Sunday night


The "Think of the children" Tipper Gore outrage is so 1995... Get with the times man

Washington game in Washington is also a mystery. But it is at least a 50/50 as we beat them last year and I am not sure if they are much better or if we are much better than last year yet.
As for Athan- he needs to be 60% on the year. I will give him 57% if we continue to take a lot of deep throws but that means he has to be 60%+ on medium and short. We need KC to really be creative as well. Why is it that every other team in the world can do bubble screens and we haven't been able to for decades? lol

Site has answers to some of these questions.

For instance:

Do we know what happened to any of the chicks that were banded at the Duke's Farm nest?

The oldest of the three males from the 2009 nest (C-96) was identified while fishing in 2013 at the Conowingo Dam in Maryland. The smallest male from the 2009 nest (C-94) was observed nesting in Connecticut and has fathered at least four chicks as of 2015. Finally, another male that was banded at Duke Farms in 2014 (D-98) was found near Little Sebago Lake in Maine. Unfortunately, residents witnessed him being attacked by a nesting adult bald eagle and he was later found deceased.

Acuff’s game would be much better if he focused more on hitting the 10-12 footers and not hoisting away with 3s.

I posted this previously and the next game ( road game vs Nebraska ?) - he hit 2-3 of them.

Regardless he’s been a bust and how much the broken foot contributed to being a bust is an unknown / subject to debate etc.

So,
Just curious what you think of your 10 and 14 year old daughters listening and I assume dancing to the un-cut lyrics of Kendrick?

I don't think earning it in practice necessarily means you are good or bad in practice. For most coaches its about putting in the work, and it can take freshman a while to acclimate to the amount of work necessary at this level. Add in that Grant didn't play last year and there is nothing surprising about it taking a while for the coaches to trust to put him out there.
I think he probably got out there for Wisconsin because Ace and Davis had foul issues, Dylan didn't play much, Pike was finally giving up on the Martini as a major player - a number of things. The team had to rebound better, had to play better D, needed more length.

Iowa is the critical game. Beat Iowa and anything is possible. Need Athan to throw close to 60%.

Did Richie attend “several” practices when Acuff was still healthy? Anyway, I won’t be fooled again. Cue The Who.
