Preseason Looks?

[GumbyDamnit!]

These games don’t mean squat. They’re called scrimmages for a reason. We’ll get to see who’s who soon enough.

[GumbyDamnit!]

On Nova side hearing Gillespie is almost all the way back, Moore could easily be a 1st team all conference, Daniels looks strong, Slater is ready to surprise and Longino is prob our best Frosh. No Antoine yet either. The big question mark is undoubtedly our 5 spot. If EDix is a player we win the league IMO. If he struggles and Njoku (who’s been out with a concussion) isn’t ready, we’d probably insert Slate, play small ball, fire away and try to outscore teams. We’d happily trade (your) 2’s for (our) 3’s.

The league is going to be a grind…always is. Not worried about October games…

Agree about the significance of scrimmage wins/losses. We didn't learn anything we didn't already know (ie our front court is tough to score on, but our half court offense is lacking). We'll be in a lot of rock fights this season.

Just to put you all on notice. Butler played D2 Tiffin on Saturday. Jayden Taylor scored 25 as a freshman. He was massively under-recruited and under-ranked. Not saying he does this night-in and night-out, but to walk into Hinkle and drop 25 in your first live action is impressive.

Marquette apparently beat Boston College by 6 but I haven't seen any official score. No word on the format either.

Just doin' my Sunday Morning reads/re-reads of the national talking heads and bracket prognosticators.
I don't know how I missed this previously?

The SI group of talkin' heads are badmouthing my boys up in Radnor!!!? How dare they. Don't they KNOW
that Lil' Jay & the Americans (read: Philadelphians) are above reproach. The nerve, the Gall, the audacity,
of those ne'er-do-wells at Sports Illustrated - taking potshots at the Holy Radnorites! Fatmouthing on both
HRH Gillespie and Samuels...those sacrilegious, sanctimonious SI scumbags!


Calling the Huskers, err...Huskies, a breakthrough team...to win the Big East?? OR to make the 2nd weekend
in the dance - the logic and clarity were both cloudy?

Oh woe, woe is me. What's a loyal, true Blue, dyed-in-da-wool, Radnor Dunkin' Donuts guy s'posed to do? I know...
I'll cancel (culture) my SI subscription...yeh...that's it! That's the ticket! To hell in a handbasket with those SI pukes!
How dare they besmirch the name-image-likeness of the blessed Wildcats of Radnor!
