Gotta start Galloway

Are you Fing with me?

I think one of the brightest spots of the game was Kanaans defense. Cupps should never see the floor and gets cooked constantly.

Agreed. Carlyle’s defense really impressed me. Cupps struggles with quick guards a lot. I am loving the idea of Rice, Carlyle, and Galloway closing out games with the lead.

I bet Tucker is a stud by March. He is the kinda guy that can develop in this system. Future pro.

not sure i agree with this. he may be easier to defend if our other guys arent that productive.

They'll be productive, but not as consistently as will he, improved as he be over summer's productive time paid off, easily for you to not only see, but to say.

If Cupps does transfer after this season, he will have to go to a mid-major to get the kind of opportunity you speak of. I think he will actually play more minutes this season than many seem to think because of all the things you mention. By the way, I heard on a podcast that CMW said he will emphasize defensive important early in this season and then eventually open up offensively. Cupps' understanding of what CMW wants will help him get on the floor more, I think.

He got 5 minutes. Which is about 3 too many ....

Yeah, our bench may not be as deep as we originally thought. Hatton, Goode, and Cupps haven't been impressive. But, it's still early.

They'll all be depended upon to spell good minutes. Yeah, I thought Goode would be more seasoned than what he's shown, but its a new environment and I have confidence he will find his groove. Cupps will always be steady in an unspectacular, yet efficient way. I haven't seen enough of Hatton to know one way or the other. He snuck up on me in the roster.

Noted elsewhere that Carlyle”s defensive footwork and body positioning was poor. Leaning and reaching will be called in league play

Yeah... no. His on the ball defense was the

All summer I preached the merits of redshirting Cupps. I'd rather have him as a sophomore next year on the same timeline as Newton.

Redshirt? Is that still a thing? Why would a kid sit a year when they can go wherever they want? He might be the 4th most effective point gaurd on this team.
