Hoop, I just don't see Smith being an answer inside and Blaise looks skinny at this point. Do we go for a Juco perhaps? Vilde isn't the inside answer either.

We're talking about a frosh PF and a senior in high school. I have a lot of confidence they will be quite good, but the only way you get a Tariq Black is to recruit a Tariq Black. Nothing like that lives in JUCO these days.

Smith also blew a knee last year and was cleared to play a month ago. Is he even 100% yet?

yea, the offense has more freedom in it, than we currently show. Lots of room for drive & dish or finish

Well it looks like today we're going to jack up a bunch of threes and not make many of them.

pretty much sums up the year. I think I can count the backdoor cuts for the year on both hands.

Color guy for Memphis even noted that "They love to shoot from behind the arc...they don't make many of them, but they still do it anyway."
