Hey…hope he pans out for us. Seems unlikely given his prior experience, but I’ll hope for the best.

It worked well for Carl Baptiste and Collin Goss. Both very little PT for 3 years

You question many Hens that left for greener pastures and wondered who was giving them advice?

Horton, Daly, Carr, Mutts, Nelson Jr. all examples of what turned out to be good moves. Even Ebby

Glad these individuals aren't listening to you, maybe you should have a little more faith. The bigs from Rutgers, Alabama and the like that played and transferred, went to bigger programs, this what you will get at our level. It has worked out before, that's a reason to be somewhat optimistic.

I'm hoping Camden has a Matt Veretto type resurgence and provides the hens with a floor-spacing forward who can knock down threes.

Does 7'1" work?

Keita is a big time rim protector - it seems he can block shots at times at will. I say get him in asap before some other school signs him.

Another example of a kid who hasn’t done anything at the college level in 2 years, but you can’t teach size. He seems to have a good number of schools interested for that very reason. Let’s see what happens, but anyone over 6’ 8” has to be a step in the right direction.

Coming from the guy who says repeatedly that if you hold teams to under 60 points you’ll win a lot of games. Now that’s pure genius.

Painter had 23 points in 25 games when he transferred to UD.

Collin Goss had 22 points in 31 games when transferred to UD.

Carl Baptiste has 83 points in 48 games when he transferred to UD.

Two of the 3 won a CAA tournament championship and played in March Madness.

Bigs that are perceived as unproductive prior to getting to UD have done quite well as Blue Hens.

Now you can't read, it was 70 points and a fact!!!!

I prove U wrong again as does JD, and your comment at me made no sense considering the topic. You just like taking digs at me, and you are NOT good at it.

You are not always wrong FYI, just most of the time. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I get that it’s hard for you to understand the humor of my comment with your black and white approach to everything. But sometimes things are a bit more complicated than essentially saying if you limit how much the other team scores you’ll win a lot of games. Having said that, if it makes you feel better I whole heartedly agree. Score more points than the other team and you have a great chance to be successful. Now that’s super advanced analysis. Keep it coming.

That is not the topic, back to UD Hoops Offseason, you have proven you don't know what the flow of the game refers to or how you would control it.

Try to get into the present, if humor is negative, then you are the KING!!!!

Sorry, I did not see your humor in your comments concerning one John Camden.

I guess when multiple folks show where you are wrong, you do in the words of Ross Geller: "Pivot"!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
