they better get their licks in this yeari watched the the smu-uoh game that i had on dvr. one of the announcers mentioned a larry quote, "they better get their licks in this year because we are going to be something next year."
Re: they better get their licks in this yearWasn't that from 2 years ago?
All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand
Re: they better get their licks in this yearlarry is getting on but that's what he said.
how can we be better with the loss of yanick, cannen and possibly MK?
Re: they better get their licks in this year
You gotta be kidding
Re: they better get their licks in this year
With Semi, Tolbert, Shake and Sed coming in, I'm not too worried about a major drop off when these three guys. That's not to minimize those three in any way, but it's not like we have JJ working as a recruiting consultant for the bball team here. We're, for the first time in my memory, in reload mode and it's freaking awesome! "I don't think anyone around the country has any idea how good we are going to be." - Coach Justin Stepp
GO MUSTANGS!!!!
Re: they better get their licks in this yearThat quote was from Larry's first year when we had all the transfers on the bench.

Re: they better get their licks in this yearI actually think LB has said things like this this year as well. Quite frankly we have a really good class coming in. Besides Sed and Shake we also have Foster and 2 experienced tough inside players coming. The only potential issue we might have is we might lack that true center to alter shots at the rim and to d up an 6'10+ post players we might see. I'm sure LB and staff are still looking for that kid and will likely sign someone.
If MK comes back I have no doubt we will be better. if MK leaves we have a strong possibility of still being better.
Re: they better get their licks in this yearwith nick returning and the new guys in the back court we will definitely upgrade.
i'm concerned about our bigs. with yanick and mk in the game together we can dominate the front court. no one in the american can match them. not many teams in the country have that kind of length and talent.
Re: they better get their licks in this year
Easy with that. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here cuz we're beating up on poor AAC teams lately. MK and Yanick duo is a serious force for sure, but we're setting our sights for bigger things than crushing Tulane and Temple. Cincy has a big frontcourt that we were outmatched by, Zaga has big boys with skill, Texas has great length, that's just a couple. Most teams in the tourney will be able to match us up front...I mean at least that's what I'm looking forward to, not AAC tourney. "We're not a hurry-up no-huddle offense, we're a hurry-up no-huddle football team and program. It's gonna start with our secretaries, its gonna resonate with maintenance department, everyone, they're gonna understand what 'tempo' is all about."
Re: they better get their licks in this yearHe said it last year and this year. Watch the post game press conference from Saturday. He's very excited about next years group coming in. He reiterated this last night at a dinner.

ellis at 6-10 averages about 9.5 ppg but no other bigs for cincinnati do much scoring unless you count 6-7 as a big.
Re: they better get their licks in this yearBigs let you do well over the course of a season, but guards get you to compete in the tourney. Look at UConn last year.
Re: they better get their licks in this yearWe're arguing apples and oranges. I am saying that regardless of their height, if a guy is physical and weighs over you know, 210 lbs Yanick can be very ineffective at times. Our guard play is going to be what separates us in the tourney, every tourney team has bigs that can play. You can bring as many PPG stats as you want against Monmouth type teams.
Btw - I love Yanick, the way he plays. Huge strides from last year, just saying we need guys like Manuel and GU to really step up in tourney to make any noise which I think we will. "We're not a hurry-up no-huddle offense, we're a hurry-up no-huddle football team and program. It's gonna start with our secretaries, its gonna resonate with maintenance department, everyone, they're gonna understand what 'tempo' is all about."
Re: they better get their licks in this yearBigs are important and make a biger difference over the course of a season but at the end of the day the team that has the best playing guards wins the tournament pretty much every year. good teams with good coaching can limit what a big can do on any given night. You can't do anything against a guard that decides to go off on you.
Re: they better get their licks in this yearI think the only team that truly outmatched us in the front court was Gonzaga. I think we would struggle to beat the Zags even with Markus (though I would love the chance to try!).
