How's everybody doing? Plenty to talk about this week. Who wants to get things started? -
-
Hey Pride, very good. Basketball is in the air. Very excited for tomorrow's game.
-
Hey, Mike! How has the defense looked the last couple days with Cain in charge?
-
I was at today's practice, and I have to say I was impressed. There was really good energy. I think the guys are happy with the move. Cain is a very passionate, hands-on coach, so hopefully he can get the most out of the resources they have.
-
Wish I could make it to the bball game but kids want to trick-or-treat and with me it is family first.
-
Can't argue with that. Being 23, I still have a while before I have to pick family over basketball.
-
What are your thoughts on the firing of Chris Tormey?
-
I wasn't surprised that it happened, but the timing didi catch me off guard. I thought they'd wait until the end of the season. It does show a sense of urgency from Christensen though. I think he knows that if the Pokes don't reach a bowl game, he could be gone.
-
-
I like Cain as the pick for interim d-coordinator. He's basically the opposite of Tormey. Young, can relate to the kids, a definite motivator. He'll bring energy to say the least.
-
He's never been a coordinator on any level, but right now it's not about making big changes. All he needs to do is get the most out of his players and avoid big plays.
-
Any interested tidbits on Shyatt's basketball team? Potential starters? Players stepping up? Granberry and Hankerson news?
-
Lots of question marks on starters. My guess is Grabau, Adams, Sobey, Cooke and Nance. I think Washington, Hankerson and Granberry will also play a lot.
-
Haldorson and Sellers have also come on in the offseason. They'll need to add a boost on the interior.
-
Tormey's schemes were not rocket science but Cain wants to simplify, do you believe that is a good idea, could it get to simple?
-
I think that's a good move. He still said he thought the guys were thinking too much. He wants to make things easy and let them play fast. With a team that doesn't have a strong understanding of schemes, it's best not to add more to the mix.
-
How many wins do you see for the basketball team this season?
-
Shyatt said 11 players have the potential to play. Who are the two scholarship guys not in that group?
Please Wait…
