It's offer time. No way that kid walks out of Kirk's office without an offer. Heard some buzz at a Solon pub that Jace has eyes for the Black and Gold.

I can't find any information about a Euro draft so it might not exist. I just assumed that they had one.

I think their top draft picks make a milli or 2.

It's hard to say because all we can do is speculate. I would guess though that Roy Boy would have developed Woody faster and better. Fran needs to hit on Foster to save his in state batting average. Missing on Paige and Carton were big strikes especially at the ever elusive PG spot. Missing on...

The state has been producing enough top talent to be elite. In Fran's era alone. Barnes, Paige, Woodbury, Jok, Weiskamp, Carton, Foster. Fran's career looks entirely different if he was able to lock down the state from day 1.

Why change an already perfect game?

Sure but Fran is a separate topic. He is ultimately responsible for any failure or success, but that doesn't neccesarily mean he caused it. FYI in case you were wondering I called for Fran's firing after the 17/18 season. I do not defend the man. That however doesn't strip me of objective...

I don't even know what Russian billiard is. I thought about googling it, but then remembered that as a conservative searching anything Russian is likely to end me up on federal watchlists. I'm sure I'm on enough already based on political contributions so I will just let you explain it if you...

Well I don't know how it is for a 7 footer to shoot, but I can attest that shooting the ball from my 6'4 frame is sure as hell easier then my early HS years standing at 5'11. To answer your last question. I'm not really making the argument that girls are more "talented" shooters. I'm just...

You go on ahead with your blame train. I said the players need to "own" the defensive deficiencies. I can see how one could interrupt it the way you did, but the use of the word own was not for a lack of a better word. It was deliberate because I have stated my overall opinion about the defense...

Are you implying that I'm from the 40's or 50's?

Again the difference is 1". That is like saying pool is easier if the pocket is 1 centimeter wider. Of course this has factual basis, but on such a miniature scale that it plays no practical bearing. Woman basketball players are also largely shorter than their positional counterparts. They...

Well that's kind of a in a vacuum distinction. The average female hand is smaller than the average male hand. I believe the ball is scaled accordingly to this difference. So logically they are doing the exact same thing proportionally to size. I guess the inch circumference difference probably...

I don't know if the stats still hold up but when I was growing up girls shooting percentage was superior to boys on every level of basketball. So maybe Fran just isn't a sexist and maybe he believes a girls shot is just as good as a boys shot.

Well that's a cute peek into the enchanted forest.

Well at least you finished with a strong point. Margaret did teach the boys to shoot. It's been published. Fran has 4 years to correct their shot. That work with Connor could already be evident in his lack of shooting confidence. I also doubt that Fran gives 2 shits either way. He and his...

Well the best 4 years of team defensive efficiency sharply turned into 3 worst years collectively of defensive efficiency. Maybe Fran stopped teaching any defense, but it seems the actual players have to own a lot of the defensive deficiency.

Well technically the coaches who teach the nuances of defense are the above average or great coaches. So I thought it proper to place Fran in the average category.

It's systemic. Some of the effort needed to play defense should inevitably be taught as fundamentals. We have seen even a lack of this for several years running. Funny tidbit. I watched 15 minutes of TC workouts for the NBA. His defense was consistently better than 15 consecutive minutes we...

Well not to say that you are wrong, but keep in mind that this is experimental. At no point in greater human history has mankind been able to maintain a society without the eternal presence of a heavenly father. The next 100 years of growing American atheism will put this experiment to the test.
