Damn! This dude has a gear we haven’t seen in a while. I love dudes who can put the ball on the floor and attack the basket. Glad I renewed my season tickets!

[emmitt01]

I saw two things on this video that excited me:

1) A pull up jumper

2) Attacking the basket

Obviously what we did last season was working, but I will be very happy if we move to an offense that isn’t just baby hooks from 2 feet away or a jacked up 3.

Who can name the last guard recruit from Dodge City on the 90s? 

[emmitt01]

Appears to have had a decent number of offers.

Also, made a top 50 freshman list for JUCO players

We definitely were the best offer against that list .

I think the slow down offense is over.

I don't think so. If your MO is great defense, expect a slow offense. As slow as it has been, no idea.

Replaces Tylor's scoring and then some, exciting find.

At this point, I'd like us to use a three-guard lineup of Jones-Buggs-Edwards to open up some space for Moulaye to work down low, and even Aaron can hang around in a 4-out set. I would have liked to seen us get a slightly taller big, at least one dude 6'10" or taller.

Welcome, Jason!  Three years of eligibility?

Found it.

I like this signing.  I think we have three scholarships left, can anyone confirm?

[meangreenfaninno]

@Cooley any thoughts on Jason?

[Matt from A700]

Buggs has really been hyping up the Green on social since transferring. I love the enthusiasm!!

You can play with pace while playing “slow”. The team is going to have too many offensive threats to not push from time to time (off misses, for example).

Definitely an up tempo guy. The question is what type of offense will Hodge employ? He doesn’t appear to be to interested in passing the ball around. Less than 2 apg could be problematic for a 6-0 point guard. I actually liked what little I saw of Christian Moore; the infrequent time he played.

Like what I see and 3 years of eligibility. Don’t see his game translated over in a slow down offense.

I really liked our NIT pace. The guys seemed to have a bit more freedom during the tournament. 

[Jdawg48]

I  really believe that this year we will see a unique, yet familiar style of play. A mix of what Grant laid down here and what Hodge is gonna throw in the pot. I feel like it's still gonna be Defense heavy but I really do see them playing at a faster pace. Not TOO crazy, but definitely a bit faster than the previous years. It's gonna be fun regardless!

Agreed. Think the coaching staffed noted that as well and why we saw more Sissoko leading up to Abou’s departure.
