Ced is going to be an absolute monster in 1 more year.
I think Ced this year is going to have a chance to make an impact in specific matchups. I say this as down low heâs our immovable object piece, most of the time it wonât be necessary, but against a big strong post guy like Dickinson whoâs post moves are big sweeping clear out arms and size backing down thatâs going to be handy when he canât move Ced out of the way so easily.
Lath has limited basketball skills. Nevertheless, I see him contributing this year in a limited fashion when UH needs bulk inside to keep players out of the paint or to make players think twice about driving. One of my favorite memories of Lath in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
At minimum, 5 big man fouls to give this year.
It is cool to think we can have two bigs pick up 2 quick fouls and we can still run two legit bigs out there together if we donât want to go to a small lineup.
With our bench depth, Sampson may not even care about fouls except for the FTs they create. 
Thatâs even more reason to take them out and save them for the next half. This last years we actually brought some players back in the games in the 1st halves due to need.
Seems like we could have decent rim protection and rebounding. 
That is insane. Francis has his shoulder at the rim. Not sure Iâve seen that much that Iâm aware of
Lauren Sampson joined Kris Gardner today
The Francis leaping ability is unreal!
Three man weave also dropped their Bug 12 preview today.
From 21:20-25:10.
One of the guys I think Matt (I forget whoâs who) is super high in Houston. Has us #1 in the country and thinks we are historically good.
Other guys think that our floor is one of the lowest itâs been under Sampson (which doesnât make sense to me lol). Their reason was Uzan
But they all agree too 3 in big 12 and national title contender
i think his wording is very bad i just listened⊠but i get what he is trying to say
this team has the highest floor of any team under sampson, by a mileâŠthe other teams could have been way worse, they just werent because of Sampson. Weâve started freshmen or players who did nothing the previous year, that on paper could have been bad but worked out, weve transfered leagues replacing 3 starters ⊠the floor of this team is way higherâŠ
but from the full context, i think he has a fair gauge of the current team, âworst case is like 7thâ which is fair, i just think he is misremembering the floors of previous teams
Yeah I forgot about the âworse case 7thâ. Because my first thought was that 2022-2023 had a way lower floor.
the part i disagree with is the offense commentsâŠ
they are projecting a worse offense than last yearâŠi disagree with, last years offense wasnt that good, especially if you took away the turnnover points âŠi get that shead was the heart and sole of the offense last year, by reconfiguring the offensive dynamic could actually be a good thing⊠the half court offense last year wasnt that good⊠and the pace was bottom 10 nationally⊠i do not think the offense will be worse ⊠from milos shooting, more dynamic lj and sharp, building on jwans end of the year dominance, actually having bench points⊠and better rebounding for offensive rebound points
Does he think Sampson took over for Guy Lewis right after a Final Four run?
What a weird thing to say.
We do that a lot. Rarely ask about specific players as well.
