    The Travis "discussion" had run many laps. Time for a new season.
    "He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

    Way too early but Sports Illustrated ranked X as 25th in their way too early bball poll.

    I’m really getting excited about the addition of Jack Nunge. Obviously injuries are a concern, but what a hole filled. Frequently used player from a P5 school, who happened to play behind the POY.

    Edit: didn’t realize he was rated a 4 star by 247 and 3 star nationally.

    Nunge indeed looks like a great fit for what we need, especially if his meniscus is completely healed and can stay that way all next season. I do worry a bit about taking the chance that he might have a third incident with the knee and not be able to finish the season. It’s why I hope either Miles is progressing or or Edwards is ready to bang a bit right out of the gate. I don’t want Nunge to put more wear and tear on that knee right away than necessary.

    Looks like we’ll be in the NIT preseason tournament.

    Virginia Tech should be very solid again though, believe almost everyone on that squad is coming back Aluma, Radford, Alleyne, they were pretty solid this year, and Mike Young is a pretty good coach. Really liked their ball movement at times this season, though I do agree that it's a meh overall field. Not sure what Memphis will be bringing in, but Penny Hardaway hasn't really screamed "great coach" so far.
