@jdub27 @SiouxBoys @CMSioux @homer would love to hear thoughts/excuses! Thanks.

Kraft was a walk-on. He is still a walk-on for a reason. Don’t want to be too negative but that’s just the facts of the matter. To say he is the best shooter on the team when a guy named Treysen Eaglestaff is on the roster is outrageous as well. There’s a difference between shooting in an empty gym and shooting in D1 games. He also cannot compete on the defensive side of the ball at this level. Or rebound. We have Panoam, King, Eaglestaff, Reggie, & Mara all in front of him. Mayar also played some 3 last night. We are fine at the guard spot with those guys. If we should be concerned about anything it should be with our center position & depth there.

Sorry I got tied up after the game and didn't get to post anything. I would agree with most thoughts posted above. I think with King back we will see a starting lineup of Panoam, King, Trey, Woodson, Amar. With Reggie, Mara, Mayar, & Mathews coming off the bench. I liked what Panoam brought last night. Big body. Just needs to shoot it well enough to make the defense guard him at the 3 point line and then he can attack the paint. Trey is going to have to be a scoring machine this year. Which I think he will be. Wouldn't be surprised if he averages 20+. Mara will be better coming off the bench. He's still learning & getting comfortable but I think he looked more than capable of being an energy/defense guy off the bench. And knocking down open 3's. Woodson looked solid. Moves well. Long & athletic. Got a good looking shot. He'll be good for us at the 4. Reggie will be a good scoring option off the bench. He can get hot quick. Very good full court defender as well. Quick hands & feet. I'd agree with the thoughts on Mayar. Doesn't look like he plays a whole lot of team ball and can force things. 8-10 minutes off the bench would be the sweet spot I think as he still provides some things like length, size, and rebounding ability. Amar as our starting 5 scares me a bit. Mathews is a big body but he's really in there just for defense/rebounding. Like others have said in the past, if Kraft gets minutes then it would have to be because of injury. Kind of like we saw tonight. They gave him 5 minutes at the end of the half. Let's hope there are no injuries this year! Overall, it was a solid showing. You could tell it was the first live game and players were rusty, but I think we have a lot of really good options and players that can play some nice roles. I think we are a top 3 team in the Summit this year.

Eli King not dressed

I'll be there tonight and report what I can! I'm excited to see the team!

If Massey says we’re 9 then we are 9! Eye test don’t matter. Never has.

He’s also liked by opposing QB’s Moms

Looking like he didn’t know where he was and that he just crapped his pants the whole time

Because Chaves is our AD

Fire everyone please

@iramurphy @jdub27 @SiouxBoys Let’s hear the excuses this time! All ears!

At hockey so not watching. Not surprised by the halftime score unfortunately

Just win baby!!!

Yeah everyone can thank you me for the win last night! Whatever I bet on loses!

I haven't seen one yet, but Penguins cover whatever it is

Penguins cover

Hmmmmm a couple of your boys think it fires up the team and the guys absolutely & genuinely love it! Maybe there's another reason why we lose so many guys to the portal? Any insight into that?

Not everyone should have podcasts

Exactly! I'd love to see Bubba hit a different emote after a road win! Now that would get the boys fired up!

Agree. It needs to go. Makes us look not great to say the least

It sucks when you lose your main competitive advantage, $$$$

You've been spot on the last 2 weeks! Love it!

I unfortunately will be hammering BU moneyline Friday night

Can anyone confirm how Gronowski looked in fall camp? That would be the real comparison as that's what matters most

Wow! What a wild thread that was
