I had the pleasure to meet him and talk at length to him at the Beefsteak dinner. Smart, affable young man and a delight to talk to. Sha called him the grandpa of the team: held everyone accountable and kept folks in line.Love how he looks mean for the picture. There is not a mean bone in his body. A shame most of the fans never got a chance to meet him. He walks around with a shit ass grin all the time. Just a nice young man.
BEB. Nothing was better than that.
I used to wait with bated breath for my copy to arrive in the mail.
Yea I always think about how we caught that KY team at the right time earlier in the season. They had so much talent. I remember in addition to PJ they were really relying on that transfer big who was (I think) one of the first times Cal decided to go all-in on a grad transfer because he thought he needed that to supplement the young studs he brought in annually to KY.Will never get tired of watching clips from that Kentucky game. When Cale hit the game-winner, we had Taurean (Soph) on the floor with Quincy, Powell, Cale (Soph) and Freshman Anthony Nelson against Calipari's NBA team.
Kentucky had 6 future NBA players in that game including 4 1st rounders Keldon Johnson, PJ Washington, Tyler Herro & Immanuel Quickley. Those 4 are all current starters in the NBA and so is Nick Richards who was a 2nd round pick.

"Shaheen Holloway’s coaching chops have few doubters left after he did more with less for two seasons at his alma mater coming off the Elite Eight at St. Peter’s, but this will be his worst roster yet in South Orange."![]()

VCU beat Villanova in the NIT last year and returns their top three scorers, including Max Shulga, whom Villanova pursued. Vanderbilt, with their revamped roster including AJ Hoggard and Chris Manon, potentially waiting in the wings. Not an easy draw.
This person is an idiot. While there may be no star, this team is 8-10 deep."Shaheen Holloway’s coaching chops have few doubters left after he did more with less for two seasons at his alma mater coming off the Elite Eight at St. Peter’s, but this will be his worst roster yet in South Orange."
Huh?
Look, this inexperienced group needs to keep developing and leave some freshman years behind, but based on talent and ability to fit a style, you can make a good case that this is his best roster since he became the head coach.
