Those look so much better than anything they've worn over the past few years, but that is clearing a very low bar

Also there has clearly been some significant time in the weight room . This pic from last year.

as long as we're talking basketball I have been told Bowman has been the most impressive freshman thus far

This is not a surprise, but it is also good to confirm he is as advertised.

Article in the Globe specifically highlighted Bowman when referring the freshmen. Nice to hear he may be a legit ACC player, but we still need to hit on Popovic, Graves, and either Jeffers/Tava to have any shot at 3 ACC wins this year.

I think you need to give JC at least 1 year beyond this to get a true picture.

These last two years were a mess but look at what he was working with.

Saw Popovic and Bowman on campus last Saturday. Popovic is very skinny.

I will say this about JC, he doesn't pre-make excuses like Daz. Yesterday's Q&A seems a bit optimistic, and he says he is in a spot where he legitimately thinks they are good. Even uses words like "postseason".

Yeah, I saw Popovic while I was tailgating before the Clemson game and thought the same thing.

Is there a real difference between those two types of skinny?

Exhibition game Thursday, unlike the past 2 years, will be against an opponent with a center taller than 6'4. Last year's game went down to the final 2 minutes, would be a very bad sign if this year's game did as well.

Per a GW board, we got smoked in the secret scrimmage this past weekend. Who knows if that means starters, backups, whatever, but I guess FWIW. GW not expected to be good, having lost a few guys from last year's NIT champion and obviously the Lonergan crap. Picked 8th in the A-10.

Hoff reported Popovic had 16 and 6, though.

TOS reported that both teams were up by double digits at one point and that it wasn't a true "game" as situational things were practiced. All in all, not a disaster.

BC won but it was not convincing and the game wasn't out of reach until about the 30 second mark. I'm not as encouraged about the season as I had hoped I would be. Robinson and Jeffers the only two players that I would go so far as to say looked good. I'll do a longer write up at work tomorrow if there's any questions I'll answer them.... It's 2-16 season, baby!
