Yes

Yes. New coaches and increased funds have changed the calculus

7:39am

Possibly more important is player development IMO since so many more players involved and most won't play right away.

More NIL money will be spent on football players, but the average $$$ received by each player will be higher in bball.

Maybe it is a sign of my age or maybe my use cases are changing, do you use the largest size of phone (i.e. iPhone Max)?

Nope. Going to the smallest iPhone 14 was one of the selling points to ditching my ever increasing in size android

I've been considering going for the max for my next phone as well. But I'm not sure. I value a phone fitting nicely

With the 15, the Max is about 20% bigger than the standard. Quarter-inch wider

No way to have any idea w/o seeing them play. Talent? Yes. Last yrs team was more talented too.

Last year's squad didn't have a strong 4. And when we lost AAA & were forced to play Khalifa very hobbled

SinkingQuffa

Jun 10, 11:45pm

Still more talent on roster which makes the point that things happen.

I’m not saying last yr was as talented as this coming yr. I’m saying both are/were more talented than Duquesne yet lost.

Soupie

Gotcha. With the personnel we went into that game with — it was arguable. Defensively I think they were more talented.

SinkingQuffa

5:43am

I would argue we’re more talented this year

arcawley

Jun 10, 11:52pm

That wasn’t ? or my statement. Both are/were more talented than Duquesne on paper.

Luckily for us tht game wasn't whistled anywhere near a WCC match. On O they were limited w/out their star scoring guard

4:43am

Keys to the Duquesne loss: Atiki injury forcing him outa the game, & Khalifa playing very hobbled.

SinkingQuffa

5:11am

Precisely the point & why you can’t count wins prematurely. A team “should” win games they lose.
