CFP playoff schedule

The portal and signing days will have to change. I think an early signing period July 29 (one day) and then another one-day period on the Tuesday after conference title games. Then, the final one can me March 1.

The portal window has to star open until the end of January to give the players whose teams are in the title game enough time to make a decision. And still, a waiver for enrolling in the spring semester must be considered, or we will see a push for spring ball to get pushed back until after classes in early May.

What a mess.

ONYENSO ???

Probably misspelled but hey ;) I didn't want to hijack another thread so just for the heck off it . I didn't say Coleman because I think he's a lock to the league myself so for conversation sake does anyone think if Big O called Hubert and said hey coach Davis after exhausting all my efforts on joining the league I have decided to return to college . If the offer is still on the table I'd love to play for you and the Tar Heels . OK , WHAT do you think Hubert would do ? I'm not saying David nor AJ know what they are talking about . I totally respect their opinions and inside information but saying yeah that's true what David and AJ said BUT the situation raised it's head anyway what do you think Hubert would do.
ONE THING ... Please please please don't start again on all this distributing minutes stuff. Even the dumbest people on this board know that without adding one more person Hubert already has a task to distribute minutes so if you want to say NO there's not enough minutes that's fine but let's not get in any arguments over it . A no because of chemistry issues is fine and another valid concern so that's fine . Just thought it would be fun to put yourself in that situation and see if you could say sorry big fella that ship has sailed or would you ( if you were Hubert ) say to yourself . Man , this is gonna be even more challenging but I'm taking him .
Curious to see what you think. 😎 🥁✌️

Do We Need Another Proven 3-Point Shooter?

We have RJ back (39.8% on 284 attempts) and we added Cade Tyson (46.5% on 172 attempts), but we lost Harrison (38.5% on 169 attempts) and Cormac (35.4% on 212 attempts)

If you strip away the creampuffs from Cade Tyson's numbers, his average drops to 39.4% or 39.8%, depending on what you call a creampuff.

My guess is that we could get 12-13 ppg from Cade on maybe 38% shooting. Reflecting that we played 17 games against top-50 teams this year while Belmont faced only 3.

Some might say my guess is optimistic. Others might think Cade could do even better because he'll be playing alongside RJ. But he played alongside several decent 3-pt shooters at Belmont, and we don't have Ingram and Ryan any more.

That's why I think we may need another 3-point shooter. Both RJ and Cade need another threat on the floor.

Do we already have what we need...?
  • Withers shot 41.7% from deep 2 years ago at Louisville. But fell to 20% on just 20 shots this year.
  • Trimble improved to a sweet 41.9% from deep this year, but only took 31 shots, and never showed confidence.
  • Washington wowed us with 53.3% 3-pt shooting, but on a mere 15 attempts.
  • We also have a couple of hot shot freshmen, but are they 3-pt threats as frosh?
Is that good enough? Surely 1 or 2 of those guys will deliver, right? But are we confident enough of that to stay pat?

We Already Have Too Many Players. Time to Stop Recruiting?

At least that's what Cal might tell us. Not that we care what he thinks, but he does make some sense.

"You may think I'm crazy, but I told my staff I only want to have eight or nine guys," Calipari told Robinson, who is now executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. "They're leaving anyway, and why would I develop a kid for someone else? Why would I do that?"

Calipari said he wants to use the other roster spots for walk-ons and rely on those non-scholarship players and graduate assistants to help the team prepare for its opponents next season.

"I want those [graduate assistants] to have played in Europe or just got done playing and can still play," he said. "We can use them in practice. The women's programs have five guys that they call 'managers,' but that's who they scrimmage against. Maybe I do it that way. We have some walk-ons, we have some [graduate assistants], we have eight or nine guys and that's it. And if there is a 10th guy, he knows he's the 10th guy."

DAILY DROP (Does the OL have enough parts?)

Today, we unveil our new weekday content item the Daily Drop. These will be football and basketball-themed, as we hope to rotate every other day between the sports.

The intent here is to bring different kinds of discussions from the norm that are more news driven and time sensitive. We will look into history, into the future, current times, and have some general fun as well. Any time we veer off into non-sports moments, be assured the main part of the podcast has been completed.

We also want your thoughts on the subjects we discuss. We hope you enjoy them.
