“I wish I didn’t have one year left because I’m loving it here. I really am. All these guys know it. And the fans are something special.”

We all wish he had more than 1 year.

Regarding the dunk that didn't count at the end:

“I just wanted the crowd to know we’re something serious. I wanted other teams, if they were watching, to know we’re serious and we want to win. That’s just the energy we’re always going to play with. So don’t come to play us and just think, ‘Ah, we can beat them.’ Nah. We’re coming to play and win every game.”

Great portal pick-up in terms of both game and attitude!!!

I agree, It's Fran's best pickup from the portal so far, He compliments Harding at the point guard position perfectly, really good get.

Love the old Herky dance by Pryce, which I think is an old balkan or jewish dance. That's not an easy dance to pull off.

Drew is an outstanding addition…..wish we had him for all 4 years. I think he’s one of the best guards we’ve had in recent history….

But so is Josh Dix one of the best we’ve had in recent history…..Harding is playing at a very high level……Pryce is playing well.

So the addition of Drew gives us the best guard court in Fran’s tenure (15 years)?

Seems like everyone else gets 7 years these days, why can’t he get one more?

This team is much better when Brock and Thelwell are on the court at the same time.
