just accept it

Perkins die?

 

[kenos]

Sure you do. "Just accept it."

acceptance does not tolerating something undesirable

with the exception of Uthoff, Fran hasn't pulled high transfers. He gets his guys and stays with his guys unless they just don't work out. So, rather than making the claim that the program is going to need a couple of transfers, I think it best to look at what the returning roster looks like, and the signed recruits, and understand that there is a very high likelihood that's where the starters are coming from.

Bowen could turn out to be an athletic pg that can drive, distribute, and shoot. That's what Fran saw and why he went after him. Patrick is the slasher, Sandfort is a fine shooter, and Perkins, who more than likely comes back (hard to see how he doesn't) is legit. Freeman looks like a more likely candidate for minutes than Jelly or Mulvey.

And I do think that would be a pretty good lineup in Fran's system. They'd score a shit ton of points. Defense, wait and see.

 

[kenos]

Perkins die?

nah. was trying to think of some absolute worst scenario where somehow he doesn't come back.

perkins+sandfort+patrick and gtfo if you think the team needs a transfer or two. that's a pretty good core.

Fran has tried to get high level transfers nearly every single year. He doesn't just "get his guys and stays with his guys unless they just don't work out".

This past off season he tried and was in the final choice for 2 higher level guys. They got outbid. He had already sent Ogundele packing and then had to tell him to come back. Same thing as years prior to the NIL. He tried to get guys, they just get outbid.

What you are saying/insinuating is horseshit. Also, in the current starting lineup he has a transfer starting. He isn't "high level" per say, but he was a get for them.

Weird takes abounding on Patrick.

He won't make the NBA because he doesn't shoot it very well (and from his forehead, I might add) and has zero ability to play at the rim.

Pretty simple.

Patrick’s shot belongs in the WNBA

and fran goes after a lot of top 50 recruits, too.

it's highly unlikely that a major contributor to next year's time isn't on the roster now, or signed to an LOI in a couple of weeks.

and that's ok

"just accept it"

This is quite the backtrack.

 

[kenos]

I think you're reading way too much into that phrase, doug


just accept fran as your lord and fucking savior and that next year's lineup will be fine

 

[douglasbader]

I think you're a fucking dumbfuck, kenos.

I'd still fuck you, though. But not in a gay way. Or a not too gay way.

[Lefty]

Just went to watch Hawks on BTN+ after watching a movie, but it's nowhere to be found. Maybe the replays of the games are delayed a while??

It’s finally available.
