thanks IV,

we will be vastly improved, good recruits, good transfers, dk with a year under his wing at the helm, nothing to do but get better, but come argue that we will be worse or just as bad....

One question? Does the DDM work against zones?

Yes, but the players have to move. Not stand around.

Agreed!


You cannot stand around and watch in this offense, be it against a man-to-man or zone.

Yeah, hopefully next year with recruits coming in that "fit the system" along with a year running the DDM under the belts of Ricky, Gurley etc.. it should look better than this year. Or at least I hope.

I'm telling you, if Gurley puts what he did tonight together for the whole season, hell, even half to 3/4 of the season, we are in for a treat!

The womens team seemed to run the DDM much better than the men this year.

i have seen douggie play, hes the real deal. A scoring point guard. As of right now hes the likely front runner for the point guard position.
