I’m inclined to chalk this up to off-the-cuff coach speak, nearly 4 months prior to opening tipoff. My goal is we make it to that opening game free of any serious injuries. He does need to figure out who’s going to be the backup PG though. Barring injury, it’s not going to be a position that gets a lot of play, as I would imagine DWill is going to play 30+ mpg

It takes two to tango, in regards to scheduling home OOC games. Absent evidence to the contrary, I’m going to assume good faith efforts have been made to schedule d1 games. I suspect we’re not the only CAA team that plays a non-D1 home game. I’m disappointed if we’re playing two such games, but other than my grousing about it, I’m not sure what the solution is

Well, so much for bringing in an FBS QB. Interesting that he threw bouquets at the incoming freshman QB from Miami, Indorf, but nothing in Mat’s article about him mentioning Watkins, the RS freshman QB. Well, unless he turns the keys over to a true freshman (which I find hard to believe) it’s Brown and/or Kent. Not very inspiring, but hope springs eternal I suppose. Also, did I read correctly that our OC from last season is now the OC at Norfolk State, our opening game opponent? A grudge match in addition to Vick’s debut as a HC

Ok, a few things. Is the author of this article the kid’s advisor? I mean I’m not so sure this young man is “one of the nation’s most coveted high school athletes.” (I think that’s the quote). Having said that, he does have an impressive resume in the Philly Catholic League (I assume that’s what it’s called) which I would think is a very competitive league, in terms of the quality of players. Admittedly, I’m not as excited about this get as the recent one, but that’s probably because this kid didn’t have the quality or quantity of offers that the other one had. Also, I’m a little concerned about his small stature, as I worry bigger PG’s might be able to use their size advantage against him. But, if he can drive to the hoop and shoot from the outside, I’ll take it. Interesting that the 2 recruits both are out of Philly, which marks a return to Skerry harvesting the city of Brotherly Love (Zane Martin, John Davis, Betrand and Hicks). Obviously, the results have been mixed, but past performance is not always indicative of future results. Also interesting how Wright references Sajid’s commitment to Towson. When you get a recruit of that caliber, it can have a ripple effect in terms of other recruits. This kid is nicknamed “Munchie,” so our student section should have a sign to the effect of “we’ve got the Munchies.”😂

For a second there, I thought it read JoJo Hunter 😂

Two names that live in infamy

Love this get. Kid had offers from East Carolina, Xavier, Temple, La Salle, Penn State, Albany, St. Joe’s & Bryant, with schools like Minnesota, Notre Dame and Georgetown sniffing around. An athletic 6’5 SG who can shoot. How long have we been waiting for a guy with this kind of potential? 4-star recruit, per some recruiting services. I think I read that 24/7 has him just on the outside of the top 100 recruits nationwide. Say what you will about Skerry, but he’s really stepped up his recruiting game, with kids like Tejada, DWill, Womack etc

Sean Brown is presumably the incumbent, seeing as he was the starter last season. I wrote earlier in this thread that he threw too many INT’s last season. In fairness, he only threw 8 INT’s, but also only threw 11 TD passes, which is a pretty meh ratio. He also finished the season with negative 33 rushing yards. Now, sacks in college football get counted against a QB’s total rushing yards. Still, I don’t think there’s any question that he was incapable of making plays with his legs last season. I also seem to recall some very in opportune fumbles. Unless he’s made significant strides in the offseason, I’m not sure if he’s the guy who’s going to lead us to a playoff spot. I was hoping that the coaching staff would bring in an FBS transfer to compete with him. I mean, I guess it’s possible they have, since the fall roster has yet to be released, but Mat is pretty good about catching announcements like that on social media, so my assumption is that we haven’t brought in such a transfer. Other than Brown, it’s Nathan Kent (I think he’s still around) and some completely untested guys who are either redshirt freshman or fresh out of HS freshmen

At the risk of oversimplifying, the QB play will go a long way in determining how we do this fall. I’m surprised/concerned we didn’t bring in an FBS transfer QB. I would think there were plenty out there. The QB last season had his ups and downs; too many INt’s as I recall & showed little if any ability to make plays with his legs. I assume it’s his job to lose, as all that’s behind him is Kent (no thanks, I saw that movie in 2023 & I know how it ends) and a couple of freshmen.

I hasten to point out that we had a nearly filled arena our last 2 home games last season, with an electric atmosphere

Sure, why not? It won’t be long before 25 will be young for a D1 MBB player. Besides, one would think he could have followed Wil Wade to NC State, but he chose to remain in Lake Charles

I just listened to this and would urge others to do likewise, as it provides some insight as to why each of these guys, especially, from our perspective, Tejada, opted to return. All in all 3 impressive guys who should be commended for returning to their respective schools. I’ll be rooting for all 3 young men this upcoming season

No doubt KU wants to scout Tejada in person, after the successful Nick Timberlake era in Lawrence

Well, let’s move to C-USA ASAP. Seriously, if we can write the check for the transfer fee, and assuming they extend us an invite. Not sure how Skerry would feel about being in a basketball conference that top-to-bottom is probably better than the CAA, but you can’t please all the people all the time
