can you forward this to Peter Thomas?Just for fun, I've put together a list of P5 teams that still have openings in their OOC schedules. Pulled this from multiple sources that don't always match up 100%, so this may not be perfect, but it's close. The list is not huge.
Arkansas (1)
Auburn (1)
Baylor (1)
Florida State (1)
Mississippi State (1)
NC State (2)
Oklahoma (1)
Oklahoma State (1)
Oregon (2)
Penn State (1)
UConn (1)
USC (3)
Vanderbilt (2)
that's taking lemons and turning them into lemonade! Well done 😄A 2 game home MTE would actually be the best case scenario at this point. Because it would knock out two weak teams we’d otherwise be playing at home anyway and, in theory, open us up for more road games against real teams.
The lost lives were unfortunate, of course. Impossible to stop a terrorist attack of that nature. I also remember the 300 or so Marines who died in Beirut, on an impossible mission ordered by Reagan.It is the three year anniversary of Harris-Biden retreat from Afghanistan. Remember, the 13 American lives that were cut short.
we almost have to be doing our own MTE as well, at this point.
probably only cost a small donation.Ncaa loses again? Shocking
well look at the NCAA, acting like they have some power or control in these matters anymore 😂
his top secret MTE might have been a Spider Invitational though.
clearly wasn't one of the many MTE's we've been following.
Big for us I guess. And athletic based on his tape. No idea if he will be a legit guy for us, but if he is truly a top 100 out of HS type guy, with that athleticism from the tape - and the other three guards are all good - I could see Mooney playing him with them. Mooney has been on record of wanting to run a Villanova (under Jay Wright) system. Which usually is three guards.GW3 is not a big guard. he's 6'2" in sneakers.
Well, especially in this portal era, I am usually leaning towards the guy with college production. But, again, I think our highest ceiling team is one in which Glou is that guy. I am still hopeful that is the case and he can be a big producer on the wing. If fully healthy I do see a "microwave" type role for Roche, but agree with 97 that we really need new guys (McGlothin/Glou/Robinson) (or Tanner) to be that guy. Roche is a solid player - and I know sman does not agree with this part - but has shown to be a bit of a liability on D.Mooney seems to see Roche as a 3 more than a 2 ... or at least he's said so before.
so Roche is probably competing with Tanner and Glou to start.
I think the starter at the 3 does score close to 10 ppg.
gotta think Roche has a pretty good shot at winning that battle.
Well our current best OOC opponent also has a weak ass OOC schedule, so I doubt this is probably more than a Q3 game for us, unless they run the table on this schedule and come into our game like 8-1 when they play us.
I would go further and say we don't want Roche to be averaging 10 points per game. We know his game and his skill set. If he is playing enough to average 10 per game, that means he is playing starter minutes and also that lot of our other talent we brought in isn't what we thought it was going to be.Agree on Roche. Would love to see a fully healthy Roche out their knocking down a few threes per game, but I think with his injury history it will be a struggle to stay on floor and be effective in other areas, like defense.
his top secret MTE might have been a Spider Invitational though.We could but it would be 3 teams of the Caliber of Western Illinois and Incarnate Word, so that isn't really helpful either. UR80 assured us that we have been in top secret MTE for a long time now, so lets hope his inside scoop is as accurate as he purports it to be.
