This is a weird one that I don’t think anyone say coming.

I like the move. IF the knee is healed this guy’s athleticism is off the charts.

The days of letting slow, smart, good shooting, good passing mid major teams comfortably bring the ball up and make us reactively chase them around, while they eventually crack us for an open 3 or layup while controlling the tempo of the game are OVER!
These geeks are gonna be in for long nights against us, lol.

I legit can’t wait for November.
The last 5 years must’ve been so hard for Autry to put up with.

I legit can’t wait for November. The last 5 years must’ve been so hard for Autry to put up with. Agreed… I like Red’s initial moves. JJ, Westry, McCleod and Cuffe… and Elijah and Donnie the following year! Damn that’s some serious influx of athleticism. We will actually field a group of guys that look like they all belong on P5 teams. It’s been a long time since we’ve been this athletic. The days of JG3, Buddy, Jimmy, Marek are finally over. All great guys but average athletes at best. This is the first time in a long time I’m looking forward to the season. Even if Judah doesn’t return, I think we’ll be fine. Thank God JB retired. We’re recruiting with the big boys again!

That’s a lot of bad and boring basketball on bleak CNY winter nights lol.

Since 1994, JB has provided me with plenty of excitement and success. He more than earned the right to coach his sons. Five years is a small sacrifice considering what I got out of it in return. And we still had a Sweet 16 run during that stretch.

We’re recruiting with the big boys again! Same. I have not a single complaint to make. It's been a bit since I've been excited about a roster or what our upside could be. Our best case scenario for a while was just hoping teams missed shots. That was excruciating. How we justified staying in the zone or at least what we rolled with defensively of late...will forever boggle my mind. Well, it had to do with the kids and finding a path to the NBA for them, but still, mind boggling.

Well, it had to do with the kids and finding a path to the NBA for them, but still, mind boggling. That Girard, Buddy, Jimmy, Swider, Jesse team was probably less athletic than 95% of the teams we played. Just insane that we did that on purpose. We were a mid major with height and lazy defense.(usually mid majors are at least scrappy hustlers) We will see how Autry is as a bench coach and there will surely be bumps in the road, but man do I love his roster building approach and recruiting prowess so far. If Judah comes back, we will at least have a chance to be very good.

It's just wild in retrospect to think about a guy like BJ Johnson that could have spent so much time buried on the bench - cuz he couldn't cut it on defense. And then we just roll with THAT. It never made any sense. I mean, people chalked it up to "JB adjusting to the times" with the long ball - but the timing of that was just a little suspicious. lol
