I thing today's edition of the blog has been the best so far. More reports and less tangents.

Surprised the blogger gave a shoutout to GGII and not some of our more basketball obsessed posters like CBL, chrisfisher, or something.

Who's Cameron Spencer? He's listed on the roster. I don't remember hearing much about him, but it says he's 6'8" and 274lbs......looks to be the thickest guy on the team. Anyone know anything?

Odufuwa needs to be solid this year.

SMU transfer... he has to sit out a season... I am very glad to have him at practices though for this next year while he sits so that our current smaller big men can have experience going up against players with formidable weight...

Just a bunch of fluff and gibberish in the Live Blog for men's basketball today... You'd think they'd have a ton to write about sitting at the practice all day...

I'm pretty sure I saw Cameron Spencer at the UNT/Troy football game. As I walked to the concession stand, I saw a tall, imposing figure, obviously a basketball player, dressed in Mean Green athletic clothes. I didn't recognize the face so I knew it had to be a new recruit. I thought maybe it was Cameron, and I checked the roster pics when I got home, and I am pretty sure that it was Cameron. At 274LB, I expected to see a slightly overweight player... however, best I could tell, Cameron was in fantastic shape... definitely not what I expected.... And he will definitely be a physical presence under the basket next season.

Well, what do you know...they answered my question. :lol: I figured they would be positive about the rule change(I mean they weren't gonna bitch), but still, nice to see Coach Jones's thoughts.

The blog answered my question about size concerns of this years team. JJ's answer surprised me...he said we are actually a bigger team overall this season than last year. The blog writer then went to quote average heights for the past 2 seasons and turns out this is a taller team, even taller the team that went to the Tourny. I'm not sure I see it if you look at who we lost and who we signed... but you can't argue with math. I know the Fort Knox signing helped with the numbers... now we have two 6'10" players. Knox's height won't matter though unless he plays, though the blog has suggested that he is competing for minutes now. JJ also went on to say that we have an extremely athletic bunch.... this is going to be a fun season....

The thing I noticed about Knox is while he has some major upper body work to do, his legs and lower body are pretty well built. It will be interesting to see how he develops physically as opposed to how Howerton did over the next couple of years.

Which shows you can prove anything with numbers. When you look at who will actually be playing (see CBLs writeup) and with the prospect of sometimes having two 5-9 guards on the floor, this will be a very small team.

They didn't really answer my question on team leaders, but perhaps it's too early to see anything developing. Coach Jones seemed to think I was inquiring if he had designated a captain or somesuch...I was merely asking if there was a guy the other ones were looking to.

Oh well.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Here’s the thing, I don’t think even you believe they would have lost the way SMU did. Penn State won by 28, but they could have made it more…SMU was NEVER in that game competitively…and they never should have been in it at all. They dodged the only two “decent” teams in a VERY weak ACC during the regular season and lost anytime they played a decent team.

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.
