What a great era for UH MBB and FB teams, at the same time! It’s been a minute. Year 13, the sky’s the limit

I noticed he didn’t put us in his Top 10, though.

Which is fine… we have to prove it. If we’re as good as we hope, we’ll prove it.

Who’s the dude in black practicing??

Now, if we can just get baseball fixed, we can have practically year-round great Cougar sports.

What has 6’ 10 240 frosh Djamal Silmana looked like. I noticed he hasn’t been in any of Coach Bishops tweets.

Is that Tom Thibodeau sitting on the sideline?

he was there… the clips of him burst my bubble on him being an emregcy big for next year … the concept of redshirting is dead in the 5 for 5 era … i had hopes for an emergency guy if someone was injured… the clips show he is way more uncoordinated than previously thought…he is project and not playable as a freshmen.

he cant use his left hand at all… they were doing layup drills. for the left hand stuff… he had to stop gather himself and then took the shoot with his right hand …
these were unguarded layup drills

You have the respect of national media when a national college basketball sportswriter, like Jon Rothstein, travels to your city in the off-season to preview your team.

Another indication that Coach Sampson is running a successful national program.

Well i have heard the 4 bigs comment several times now. I would like to adjust my projection to whatever i had East at, to 10-15 minutes per game. I barely had him in the rotation.

Uh oh it’s getting spooky. This would be game changer. Jojo with the jumper

He was there for 30 minutes, to be honest.

Jojo with a soft 10-15 jumper would make him a real tough guard with his already improved faceup game getting to the bucket.
