As far as I know. Is this game expected to go as scheduled? I'm really excited to see this team. I think ado has a huge senior season, and Stewart has a big r-so season.
I don?t know what to expect W/L wise but I?m excited to see this team. There?s pieces there. Young pieces and gotta give Howland some credit, he filled in some holes with some experienced guys like Tolu Smith, Javian Davis, and the ULL transfer.
Devion Smith, Molinar, and DJ are going to bring excitement and explosiveness at the guard spots. Ado is what he is, he ain?t gonna score a ton but damn he?s so valuable on defense and rebounding.
I?m excited to see Cam Matthews and Keondre Montgomery too. I don?t know how we will fare record wise but I think we could be an exciting team to watch when things are going good. Just gonna be some lumps in there with all the youth.
I"m really looking forward to watching Molinar this year. He's a player.Quote:

I personally think DJ is about to be a 17-18 PPG guy. He’s explosive and he’s really improved his 3PT shooting since getting here.
Why? I think you misunderstood my post. Starting 5 will be: Molinar, Stewart, Matthews, Tolu, and Ado. Smith, Johnson, and JD will be first 3 off the bench. Stewart will probably be our leading scorer.Quote:

Going out on a limb??Quote:

I don’t have much faith in Howland, but I do think he will do better now that we don’t have big personalities on the team (Perry, Peters). He seems like a slightly better X and O version of Stansbury.
The season won't resemble anything even close to normal. It's already a complete mess and it hasn't even started. I also find it hilarious that Auburn self imposed a post season ban this season. Classic Auburn trying to take advantage of the situation.
I think most here would agree w/me that Howland's teams by in large have under performed and yet we've had talented teams. We just had two guys picked in the draft and yet last years team managed to finish 5th in the SEC and was on the NCAA bubble and that was with 4 starters back. If your measure of success is making the NIT and getting knocked out by Liberty in the 1st round of the tourney then I'm sure you're happy.
I certainly can see why anyone would say that but I think is going to be his best team. That may sound equally crazy but we have talent but not too much NBA talent to where I think they will play hard, unselfish and get after folks. At least that is what I'm hoping.Quote:

Again I don’t really understand what some of you people want with our basketball program. He was given the keys to absolute dog shit when he was hired.
there has been limited off the court bullshit, we are starting for the first time ever to put players in the league which will only lead to better recruiting , and Its not like we have a storied basketball history... we haven’t made it past the second round since 1996...
And with that measuring stick, you just described the Rick Stands years to a T.. and everyone seems to think those were the glory years..
Haven’t even played game one yet and The Howland Sucks crowd is already getting warmed up...

I just glanced at our roster and noticed that it was all freshmen and sophomores and Ado. I'll adjust my expectations accordingly.Quote:

Stands is 0-4 at WK in getting them to the NCAA Tourney.
I'm curious to see what Howland does this season without as many Pre-Madonna's on the team. I expect a hungrier, harder-playing basketball team.
I'm gonna commend you for continuing to engage the haters, but I lost my sense of humor with them some time ago.Quote:
