Jon Hammond - William & Mary

Re: New Football Stadium and Track

Random question - did opening the new Gamechangers Fieldhouse free up a lot of office/admin space in Baker? If so, what is that space going to be used for? Or am I misunderstanding how much space Baker has (Besides being in Belk for basketball games, I have no clue what any other space in that buil...

Re: Shiny New Billiken

Cream Abdul has transferred to SLU.

He will be good for some home ticket sales.

Re: Welcome Zach Laput!

I haven’t seen anyone on here disparage Laput. What I have tried to argue is (1) Davidson should maintain some academic standards for athletic eligibility; and (2) one of those requirements should be that the student athlete is pursuing a degree. I don’t think (1) is especially controversial, but (...

Re: Welcome Joe Hurlburt!

He looks like he has some great potential based on his HS video.

He dunks with authority. He can pass. He also has very nice form on his jump shot. Contrary to a few of our recent recruits, he seems to have moves and could get his shot if necessary.

Re: Welcome Zach Laput!

One year does not make a Davidson College student athlete.

We have joined the one and done club.

Re: Welcome Zach Laput!

I think it is odd that we would take the "high road" and not retire a players' jersey until they complete their degree but we our now bringing in athletes who have no possibility of getting a Davidson diploma? :shock: Maybe the athletic staff should make a public statement regarding our policies or ...

Re: Caitlin Clark - Like Watchin' Steph

Suprisingly I enjoyed the 4 quarter womens game flow with only 4 total media timeouts. This format seemed to allow teams to get into better "runs" and bring more momentum into the game. The men's format with 8 media timeouts is tedious and horrible at times. FWIW, I wish the media would quit pushing...

Re: Caitlin Clark - Like Watchin' Steph

This team is not just about Clark. I think Coach Bluder does an incredible job and does not get a lot of the credit. I dare say at this point her motion offense is run better than ours. It seems like the players have more back door options and seem to be spread out more than us. Their guards can dri...

Re: Portal

Glass half full. If things settle down, I am pretty stoked going into next year with a core of Durkin, Adams, Logan, Kochera and Bailey. I just hope the departures are because of money or playing time. I am somewhat worried that the players are not buying into Matt or his offense. FWIW, I can't see ...

Should we be excited or concerned that the coaching staff is interested in two D2 portal guys?
I would be concerned that we didn't land them right out of high school if they are that good and academically qualified.

Re: Portal

Brizzi's move is puzzling. I would consider his game still in the "rehab" mode. I can't see a lot of teams rushing to sign a guard who lost their starting slot. Only speculation but might he be looking for a more up tempo offense where he feels a more comfortbale?

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

What is the new rule? You can just enroll and take classes even if you are not pursuing a degree? I’m assuming these Ivy guys will graduate this spring. Did Foster get a degree from Davidson? Seemed like he could and I assumed he did. But transfers to Davidson after 3 college years are not somethin...

Re: Portal

I didn't see the level of offensive skill in Rikus to which others are referring. How soon we forget that Skogman was not in the starting 5 either last year and we were wondering if he was a fit. Rikus showed some skills against Dayton at home and IMO had potential to be a decent big man by his Jr/...

Re: Portal

I am reminded of Newton Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I think it is wise to really analyze if the portal is for Davidson. We bring in Foster and have some success and get an NCAA bid but Grant spends more time in a non starting role. Does that hurt us more in the long haul? Achile...
