Fresh Jersey Jump Shot

John summed up SHU’s offense in one sentence: they have no one to throw the ball into (down low) and no one who can throw the ball.

He also accurately observed the problems with NIL. The guys you bring in and pay sometimes don’t pan out. That describes us and also RU’s supporting cast around Ace and Harper.

What a great podcast. John knows his stuff and he’s one of ours.

John hints that the NIT is one of the reasons that this year's squad is so weak with the staff getting off to a slow start in 2024-25 recruiting.

Was the NIT victory worth the pain of this season?
 
Dan,

While there is some truth in that, it seems John is searching for excuses for our school.

UGA also spent the first few days in Indianapolis with us and are doing more than fine, although their SEC funding levels are certainly at another level.

I am glad we got to share in that wonderful moment.

I'm not sure the timing is a problem there. Pitino was mocked here for basically giving that as one of the reasons they weren't going to play in the NIT last year. When in reality they had all these 1 year eligibility kids he brought over to form a roster year 1, and some of those kids had legit professional options, so it seemed pretty clear they wanted to move forward with that aspect of their lives rather than play and risk injury in a relatively meaningless tournament.

But Fanta is far more dialed in on this stuff than me, so who knows.
