Positivity Time: Reacquaint yourselves with Kam Williams-

Login to view embedded media

This is one helluva addition. Young, long, athletic, talented shooter that can flat-out play.

Put him with some other dudes (especially a PG that can drive and dish) that can play and he’ll blossom.

Just need a few more pieces especially my fav PF. We’re building something really good here. Just hang on.

Here is what I THINK happens from here...

Not that anyone probably cares but here is my guess.

I think we already have Mackenzie Mgbako committed with an expectation that he will come off the bench at the 4 spot.

I think the staff is holding off on the announcement to not scare away Alvaro.

I think their dream scenario at the 4 right now is Alvaro/Mgbako.

I think we go after one more perimeter guy (a guy like Pierre if we want another playmaker/shot creator, or a 3&D guy, maybe Diabate but he's not a prolific shooter by any means.) Let's call this player "Portal A". Btw I hope it's Pierre. Hope we don't back away from him now that we have Lowe.

And then I think we still hunt for a rim protector. Let's call this player "Portal B"

So I think we are looking at (starters in bold):

PG: Lowe/Lewis/Perry
SG: Oweh/Jasper/Chandler
SF: (Portal A)/Kam Williams/Chandler/Noah
PF: Alvaro/Mgbako/Kam Williams (stretch 4 if needed)
C: Moreno/Garrison/(Portal B)

Yes I think Moreno starts, maybe not day 1 but I like his upside more than Garrison right now.

That would be 13 of our 15 scholarships used, and maybe we take a flyer on one more development piece just for the fun of it, hang onto one in case a recluse comes up this summer.

Positive vibes only thread; portal recruiting, system, updates, whatever. No kvetching here.

I personally think Lowe is a hell of a pickup. Fast, extremely quick first step, 3rd team all ACC. I think he was the best option on a truly bad team with a mid coach. Better teaching, better system, better pieces around him, he will flourish.

I trust Pope to do what he does. What else do you feel positive vibes about?

This is just a quick pulse check on the fanbase here. We’re in Year 2 with Coach Pope, and I know emotions are running high right now since we've only landed one portal player to replace our graduating seniors.

With portal recruiting still in full swing and the important April 7th deadline approaching due to rule changes, I’m curious how are you feeling right now about the direction we’re headed?

Vote below and feel free to explain your thoughts in the thread.

Yet another reason to hate the NFL


Why don't those fkers make holding a penalty? Maybe make it so an OL can't still hold a DL from behind, or around the neck?

Maybe they should actually enforce or clarify existing rules like alignment along the LOS on offense and defense, so EVERYONE has enough people on the LOS on offense, and the defense isn't lined up in the neutral zone on 50% of plays?

Maybe they could give the replay official the ability to call blatant whiffs by the on field School for the Blind graduates? A face mask or hands to the face that rips a guy's helmet off during the play so THEY have to sit out a play...?

How about watching a whole replay after a PF OR UC to see if the infraction was retaliation and calling it on both players? Let the replay guys be in charge of that.

NFL officiating makes pissing on the urinal cake at halftime look difficult.
