Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

I don’t necessarily think it’s the amount of points we are replacing, but the kind of points. Cross and Cohen were the primary focus of the offense and when you look at their shooting % and amount of trips to the free throw line they took, they were the reason for any type of efficiency that we had....

Re: 2024 Recruiting

I do think we have the potential to be better defensively next year (no idea if we reach that potential) but I don’t know how good we are going to be offensively and what changes stylistically we will see at that end. There is no Cohen to run stuff though. There is no Cross who, well for a lack of b...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Either way, they still need size (particularly some strength) with experience. And they still need another shooter. Do we have enough 3 point shooting? Diggins for sure. Curry - streaky but decent form. Akil Watson? Ndjique improvement? (he does work his ass off) Gerengomba? Worthy? DHS? I don’t th...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Interesting add. That’s two fairly skinny, athletic dudes added in two days. Hopefully he’s ready to give some minutes. If we get the Gray kid, that should help on defense for sure but the offense is going to look quite a bit different with no big to serve as the hub like Cohen (at least based on wh...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Interesting stats. Decent fg%, low ft% and 3pt% (although he took hardly any), good defense and rebounding #s. Great finish to his season (looks like almost 20 and 12 the last five games.) Looks fairly athletic in the little I’ve watched of him. Will be interesting to see how his game translates aga...

Re: KAEO Matt Cross

Seemed like it was trending this way for a long time. I don’t think I’ll ever get mad at someone for making a personal decision that they think is going to help their lives. That said, I also won’t feel the same sense of attachment to them. I will get mad at this system that is actually not a system...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

1. Nice thin sliced meat (lamb beef combo usually or just lamb) right off the spit
2. Good pita
3. Combo of lettuce, onions, tomatoes, feta and tzatziki sauce

Just a great sandwich. Maybe second behind a North Shore beef.

That was good, that was good :lol:
Care to share the contents of said gyro?
I have meetings for my sandwich club every other Tuesday and am happy to share with you then. I will say that I, and I alone, decide the contents of my sandwiches.

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Yeah maybe we should discuss why we don’t recruit more players from Massachusetts.
