Ron Slay on what makes this roster different

[BernardKingGOAT]

I'm not saying it should or shouldn't.

That's fine, but I am saying it's not going to happen

Okay, I believe you...

 

[Oldvoldad]

Bruce? I thought you said you knew a thing or two about the game

I do. That guy was on his way to regular FF appearances until the Admin fed him to the wolves. Then he did TV and came back and took the barn to the FF.

 

[Oldvoldad]

Not the next MJ, but more than likely the next Yaxel Lendeborg or better in Juke Harris. On paper our class looks better than the class that Michigan brought in last year. You can be a Debbie downer all that you want but it won't change the fact that we have one of the best rosters in the country!

That

I honestly, most likely have more positive hope before all games than most on this board, but I keep the sunshine pumping to myself rather than blast feels like 98 on a message board.

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

You think he just retired from coaching to be an analyst? He's coming back.

As a congressman.

Haha. That's a low info take on what happened to Pearl here. Pearl is a snake and has exactly the same number of NC's as Barnes. Barnes has been far better for the program

 

[NighthawkVol]

This roster would not beat 2026 Michigan

Fortunately, they don’t have to.

 

[Skooter]

Because I've been watching BBall long enough to know we totally disregarded the advantage of having a post scorer to ensure a shot at winning it all.

Mara had 8 pts in the title game

Bet they give them hell of a game. No doubt

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

Indiana struck Gold at QB. Just like Joe Burrow LSU and Cam Newton Auburn. One of these new guys the next MJ? Doubt it.

Also was just so well coached. It showed

 

[Oldvoldad]

Are you implying Burrow and Newton were so well coached?

 

[Oldvoldad]

Playing a hell of a game is not the goal here.

 

[Oldvoldad]

How many games did they have to play to get to the title game?

 

[Skooter]

How many games did they have to play to get to the title game?

Several. And Mara scored 11 vs UT. He avgd 12 per game for the season. UM avgd 13 a game from C position. Okpara and JP avgd 18

Can’t help but laugh at the Pearl nut huggers anymore.

They’ve totally lost it.

Nice Math. Combine two players stats to equal 1. Thanks for proving my point.

18 to 13 isnt equal and that included 2 Michigan centers. We had more production in points and rebounds from the 5 than they did.

Isn’t Estrella on the Michigan roster now?

 

[Skooter]

Surely you know the answer.
You posted about needing a dominant scoring center like Michigan. I simply pointed out Mara’s ppg and that we had more production there than UM did. Their wings and guard play is what we were missing outside of JG as they had several players on the court who could drive and/or shoot or iso when they needed a bucket.

Neither is beating teams from the past.

Every time Pearl gets mentioned, it seems some potty mouth wants to use that as an excuse to bring up gay sexual innuendos.

 

[Godfatha]

Man there be some trolls up in here. This team is loaded and going to be a lot of fun to watch. Probably will be Barnes best ever team here. Be miserable if you want, but I’m looking forward to bball season.
