🚨WARNING: Personal news thread🚨
As of 4 p.m. today I am no longer employed as a web editor at the @virginianpilot.
Starting on Monday, I will be a News Planner for @delawareonline and @Gannett's Atlantic Hub.
@GeryWoelfel Aawh GW, are you saying Nigel James can't become a first rounder? I mean DWade wasn't a blue-chipper as Prop 48 freshman and few expected him being a first-rounder after his soph. season.
Frank the Tank wasn't a first-round talent his freshman or sophomore year. Kids develop.
@nickbateman33 Yes, theirs a void of upperclassmen leadership and the JR. class was bad. But the Frosh and Soph. class are maturing and growing. The Big East better beat Marquette now because this year is a blip.
Has there ever been a team more undeserving of a win than the Bears? Disney movie-level script tonight with infinitesimal odds.
I can’t wait til they get eliminated. Luckiest team in the league.
After my earlier post on Chase and after he fouled out, I notice he was almost silent on the bench. No jumps. No clapping. No EGBs. Go back and watch. Chase is an incredible athlete and player I just don't think he has the leader gene. He doesn't handle that pressure well #mubb
@PaintTouches BG and Chase's past success was as complimentary pieces. This season they - esp. Chase - needed to become primary offensive options and leaders. They haven't. They can score, but not a vital moments. That's a leadership void. And the Jr. class is lacking it, too.
@mooof23@JoeMcCann3 How about this: if Shaka is looking for the best lineup, if you remove the buy-in games what is the best lineup? That takes away stat padding against perceived inferior teams.
@CrackedSidewlks Ok, this isn’t Dukiet bad. It’s not good, but those years were hopeless. Mr. Rhymes with Marquette never went NCAA -even with Rick Majerus’ guys, he insulted the state’s players and destroyed the program.
You can portal, develop or both, but you can't miss on upwards of five guys in either situation. At this point, it's about analyzing who fits the system, who doesn't and moving forward. It's also about a coaching staff learning from mistakes and correcting. #mubb
Yes, Marquette is bad. The Jr. and Soph. classes have not played to potential. They lack leadership and fight in adversity. The bigs have trouble hitting layups and dunking. The defense isn't aggressive. It's a nightmare. But the portal has pitfalls, too. #mubb
@itsallstraw We don’t know what he’s saying in practice. We just know he’s not going to hang guys out for the public. And, no matter what he says, they guys have to be receptive.
