***HOOS***

This is the first bye week in years that has made me sad instead of happy.

 

that pass to 88 is the kind of short stuff we need to use, bryce throws poorly on the stuff to reed on the edges. not sure why anae chewed kelly out after that.

 

so we lost hall, dubois, swoboda, and any respect nationally. fun friday.

 

Fuck I couldn’t watch and just saw the box score but didn’t know about the injuries. Fuck.

 

hall is done in college from the looks of it.

 

Friday games really suck shit for this reason, if you lose in a bad fashion like getting blown out by Duke or being offensively inept against a bad Miami team, the whole country just watched it happen. if you lost tomorrow in a 4 PM game nobody would have noticed.

 

The mad Puto

 

They can still accomplish their goals. Couldn’t get out of their own way inside Miami’s 25.

 

Damn Hoos I really hated to see Hall go down like that. Here's to hoping he has a speedy recovery and a bright future no matter the diagnosis.

 

So apparently Kody looked good at the Blue/White scrimmage and may be in line to start at the 2?

 

That doesn't surprise me. Shedrick always looked like a gem to me in his highlights and I never quite saw it from Caffaro. He plays with a little too much finesse for what his role is supposed to be. I bet Caffaro ends up being a useful piece but takes a while to come along while Shedrick is more of an instant impact.

 

should i take the reports on Mamadi, as the offense has been tailored some to suit his abilities or that he has elevated his game to another level?

or both?

 

I would be surprised if we made too many changes to the offense but ultimately we're going to need to rely on Mamadi, Braxton and Jay (all traditional blockers) to put up at least 50% of our points. So I wouldn't be surprised if there is some sort of tweaking to allow that.

 

I’m hearing we are defending national champions

 

just firing off some OL frustration this afternoon, when Jestus Johnson gets to school, he will be only the 4th OL we have brought in over 300lbs in the bronco era. Jameer may be over now, i'm sure his dad posted his weight on twitter recently.

 

also Swoboda and Dubois are healthy for this week.

 

Reading "Bryce Hall's Virginia career is over" makes me want to barf.

 

Don’t know if anyone follows embrace the pace on twitter but he said he has the entire scrimmage on his instagram.

Md offense was a big surprise. He was confident putting the ball on the floor for a pull up jumper, hit three 3s, passed it well. Shedrick shouldn’t shirt, he looked smooth out there and could provide minutes given huffs ability to rack up fouls quickly. Mckoy didn’t do much of anything. Not sure what to expect from him.

 

just saw a tweet, Jahmeer is 305 atm.

 

Justin Anderson got cut by the Wiz. I gotta say I'm a little surprised he hasn't drawn much interest - he seems like he could still be a useful piece. I guess that's just the nature of how competitive the NBA is. Better the last spot on the bench go to a guy on his rookie deal who can be a useful piece but might also blossom into something else than to use it on a guy who plays hard but seems to have a limited ceiling.

 

dubois does shit like that and we dont try one fade to the corner for him. smh

 

Robert Anae appears to have saved his job

 

we gonna fuck around in the 4th qtr

 

it wasnt so bad

 

Kicked that ass thoroughly

 

joe reed is so great

 

Pretty much ended the game on the return.

 

Preseason #11.

Dare I say.... too high? I think we're looking at another year like 2016-17. There are just pieces (guards) missing.

Since the 2014 git gud season, our regular season losses have been:

2 (2014 post-Infamous Tennessee Game), 4 before and including that.
2
6
9
2
2

I'd say we're safely in the 6-9 range rather than the 2.

 

Also, obligatory who gives a shit if we go 0-30, we won a national championship.

 

That’s the way I feel.

imagine how spoiled some kids are. All they’ve known is Tony Bennett at UVa.

 

All of the reports from preseason (including what I saw on twitter about our scrimmage with VCU) are that we're struggling to score. I think our main threat on offense is Kihei's vision + Mamadi/Jay's finishing. I'm all for going for more post scoring, something we've been missing for a long time. But we're going to need someone dynamic on the perimeter.

We have a bunch of shooters on the perimeter but none of them appear to be able to create for themselves outside of maybe the unknown commodity Morsell (at least to start the year). I'm hoping Braxton can show a little of that from the 3 spot.

 

i watched a condensed version of our game, and now i'm afraid of some team running fake punts on us all game long.

 

That would have been extremely triggering if we didn't already have a substantial lead.

 

white on white this weekend.

 

We already played Duke. Oh

 

heyyo

 

This looks good. Are there any memorable videos/articles you guys like on the March madness run or just TB/Hoos b-ball in general?

 

Looks way better than it originally did hanging there by itself.

 

Doesn’t really mean anything but I found it interesting that Diakite liked this.

 

Do you run the STL account? I always assumed it was Wiley idk why
