We got that big blonde Bird kid looking pretty good…. Oh wait….. wrong year never mind!
I’m sure many others know more than me, but it seems very tough at this point. We took no gambles on unprepared foreign kids like the past couple of years. Got two foreign big men who are older and more experienced. Two of our freshmen led their teams to state titles. I’ll just say we have a lot more to pick from this year. We have to be better, because we weren’t very good last year. (Still not sure how we beat Belmont and Illinois State, and or how we didn’t get blown out very often.)
I feel like Graves is a very good Xs & Os coach, has good scouting reports, and can make some solid adjustments throughout the game to overcome a talent discrepancy. He needs to improve in a number of other categories to be an effective head coach however. Until he proves me wrong i'll die on the hill that Graves makes for a great assistant because of my above examples. His head coaching ability however if rightfully questioned because of other things needed to win games
