Fran needed a brick wall so Rebraca had something to run into as he ran up down the floor in practice.
I still see potential in Riley. I would think that getting him minutes could only benefit next years team.
What have you noticed in watching practices that would either justify Fran's not playing them or what have you seen in those practices that justifies your assertion that they should play more?
In fairness, Fran didn't bother to stick around for the last 7:30 of the game last night to be in a position to get them in the game.
Exactly what I have wondered. I read their lack of playing time as Fran not trusting their ability, unless the situation is desperate. Josh adds to that with his inability to get into good shape and stay there. Mulvey is a definite positive with his enthusiasm on the bench, but we will need a lot more than that next year.
I know I’ll get killed for saying this, and while it hasn’t really amounted to post season success Frans had a pretty darn good run the last 5-6 years. We haven’t really had to go into rebuild mode but next year could be rough. No idea what the future holds for Patrick. Payton has had some highs and some lows. Really needs to make big strides next year. Same with Perkins and Ulis. We need consistency from someone. Our front court looks incredibly thin next year. Fran has his work cut out for him.
He can’t work on his game being a 1st round pick?
I still think Mulvey can develop into a decent BIG. But we really need him to make a leap next year. I'd cut Josh O. He just can't get a handle on his conditioning. Portal Bigs are a must.
I really think one of Mulvey or Jelly makes the jump next year and contributes, but I’d much rather be breaking in freshman big men than guards. Freeman and Dembe certainly look ready to play. If everyone returns we will be a guard dominated team, which usually bodes well. But I also think we pick up an experienced big in the transfer portal.
Wait, wait.... Isn't that against the rules? Can't offer NIL BEFORE signing, right? LOL LOL LOL
Both Freeman's, besides Owen, 6-6 sophomore Braden played well tonight also.
This is who Moline will play Friday night. B-B won their game game 54-50. This will get people fired up.!
I never see his name mentioned when people talk about the team. Does he start? What are his stats? Thanks.
Well said, the ONLY question I might have is how will Brock’s size play on the defensive end. He is super quick and has great instincts, but just question how well he’ll do against a taller guard. Love watching him play though.
It's a little premature for me to say that Brock is "John Stockton like" because there is no YouTube video of Stockton while in high school and it's impossible to predict what Brock will be like 4 years from now, but without any reservations I will say that Brock has all of John Stockton's playing mannerisms from the video's that I have seen of John Stockton, but at a more realistic high school level.
