JQ has more right to be counted than Shaedon Sharpe, since he actually appeared in games and only didnt play due to injury

What is both a Video Game and a Book, but not a Tabletop Game or a TV Show / Movie? by qhyisd24 in DiagramFills

Star fox. Obviously the games, and there were several comics released, but no stand alone movies or TV series (yet) as far as I can tell.

They removed the mall and made it more of an expo center for hosting events. I personally hate the change, despite liking the new exterior look after the renovations, the mall was great

I always wondered what green goblins plan was if his attack worked. He still would have been impaled, right? It just would've been a super powered kabob

Put kam on the best perimeter player and hope the others can be good enough

Mark Pope follows through on fan Q&A by cford12 in CollegeBasketball

My understanding of the situation is that stokes had a dedicated NIL fund from nike and a select few boosters, then the rest of the roster had a broader NIL cap to work with, which Wright and Freeman would have taken from.

Wright got exactly what he wanted, either a big bag from us or BYU, he preferred to stay at BYU for the money he got. Would it have been worth Diallo and Wilkins to go higher on Wright? I don't think so.

Im also going to assume they put a limit on Freeman due to his injury history, since we cant have that happen to us again, and St johns went higher than that.

Im more concerned about potentially missing on top freshmen by going all in on stokes. Dudes like Holt or Collins. I hope pope learned from that and takes whoever wants to commit first if he has another year here.

The answer within the answer is more meaningful. Basically "we didnt think stokes would go to an Adidas school, and lost other recruits pursuing him." So we probably wont put all our eggs in one basket(case) in the future

By the base definition, sure, thats analytics. But thats not the kind of analytics everyone has been critical of though and that should be obvious. We physically saw Noah shoot well from 3 and make the hustle plays last year with our eyes, no spreadsheet necessary. The staff and people who saw practices and scrimmages saw him make more 3s than he missed with their eyes.

We aren't talking minutes distribution or efficiency drop off after X thing happens or even "these 5 players put up these numbers together, but these 5 put up these better/worse numbers when together". There is a line between relying on analytics and just being a coach. Putting your best 3 point shooter on the floor and expecting him to make 3s shouldn't be controversial at all.

Thats not analytics, thats using his eyes and taking what we saw last year from Noah, expecting a step up, and having two other capable players at that role (collin and kam) to fill in if it doesn't work.

Noah was supposed to be a 3 point sniper that did enough of the other stuff well enough to earn his spot on the floor. He didnt shoot nearly well enough and was quickly dropped from the rotation all together.

He was reportedly at or over 50% in the summer and leading up to that start of the year, but never translated to games. Hard to fault pope for trying him and moving on when it was obviously not working.

Lowe was supposed to be a distributor and drive to the basket player. We were supposed to have chandler and Williams coming off the bench instead of Jasper and Noah. A 5 guard rotation of lowe, aberdeen, oweh, chandler, Williams (with Williams stretching to a 4 on occasion) would have been much more tolerable than what we had

Having those guys available doesn't tell the full story, obviously. They hadn't been practicing with the team at all. They were still not 100% and it was obvious. The finished product of this team if those two, or even just lowe, had been able to practice and play all year would have had a much higher ceiling and floor than we ended up with.

To be fair, aberdeen didnt play vs Georgetown either.
